I took all these pictures in the downtown Phoenix area over a duration of three hours. I walked around with a few friends and just photographed the people of the city going through their daily routine. I also ended up having brief conversations with some of the people who I took pictures of. Despite the fact that it was a little toasty outside, I was really hungry, and I was not looking forward to doing street photography, I really enjoyed taking pictures of these people. I think that the emotions conveyed in some of my shots really add to the pictures because they show the person's emotions. Overall, shooting street photography was a positive experience.
For editing, I used Photoshop CS5 for levels and curves. I then used Paint.net for black and white conversion, re-sizing, and an occasional crop.

Since returning to a Leica M camera, first with an M10 Monochrom, then later, switching to my current M11 two years ago, I have taken a lot of test shots to both re-learn my rangefinder skills, and also to test different lenses. Until now I had not bothered to publish them, since there was nothing really exotic about them. It’s not like I visited some amazing place or saw some interesting people or whatever.
But then I realized these photos might be of interest to people who are considering buying the same lens I used to take them. So if there is some value to others, then why not put them up on Flickr…
Please don’t feel compelled to comment… Most of these images are for informational purposes, so people get a sense for how a specific lens renders. Some of the photos are of the same scene, shot with different lenses, typically on different days.
Hope they are useful…

A salt crystal isolated on a microscopic slide. This was taken with a CFW-1300 digital firewire camera on the photo tube of a Nikon microscope. I took several magnifications and I believe this is 40x.
Beautiful and isolated up a very long single tracked road and a muddy walk over a field.
St Celynnin’s old church, Llangelynnin
This rustic church stands in a spectacular and remote spot in the foothills of Snowdonia’s Carneddau mountains. In prehistoric and Roman times, people travelled across the uplands in this region. The old track which passes outside the churchyard was once a main route between Penmaenmawr and the Conwy Valley.
The church is of rubble construction. The nave is thought to date from the 12th or 13th century, the remains of the rood screen from the 15th and the roof from the 16th. Inside, on the east wall, is a drawing of a skull and crossed bones (pictured left), uncovered in 1993. It is part of the prominent Creed and Ten Commandments, which were uncovered in the early 20th century.
In 1840 the church was replaced by a new building, also dedicated to St Celynnin, in a more accessible location near Rowen. The newer church is deconsecrated but services are still occasionally held, usually in summer, at the old church.
In the churchyard outside is a well which, like the church, is dedicated to St Celynnin. The well was once thought to have healing powers, especially for children.
Photo of newly ordained Eryl Parry with bishop at Llangelynnin churchSt Celynnin lived in the 6th century and was reputedly one of the 12 sons of Helig ap Glannog, who lost his court, known as Llys Helig, when the sea inundated it. As a result of this loss, the sons lived devout lives, some as monks. St Celynnin reputedly founded the old Llangelynnin church near Barmouth, coincidentally replaced by a new Llangelynnin church at almost the same time as this one was.
