      @weftyarn have you got any thoughts on that cs Ricoh or the Leica D-lux 8??

      Was in japan and was pondering getting a camera again. Last used was Sigma 50 art with a canon 6d. But somehow I feel like I’m sick of interchangeable lenses and want something that’s easy to bring about. The R5 is still very high on the temptation list

        If you want a leica fixed lens, skip the dlux which I've always thought were rebranded Panasonic Lumix series. The q series is the only fixed lens from them I'd consider. The Ricoh used to be a good option compared to the x100 series but I don't know these days. I'd certainly look there before the leica even despite my affinity for their m cameras.

            Started up my sunrise walks working on a on-going personal project called 6am in Greensboro.

            It’s favorite time to be out in the city. Quiet. Great light. Nobody bothering me.

                    completely agree @Marc2706 but they're also so much fun to use.

                      Last week I was in Iran, one of my favorite countries. I don‘t mean the politicians which are really very bad, but the Iranian people are wonderful. Their hospitality is legendary. They always take care of you and I never felt unsafe. Let me show you some photos of this country, I start with the island of Qschm, deep in the south of Iran, near the street of Hormuz. Breathtaking landscapes, beautiful sea.

                      City of Laft with beautiful wind towers

                      Traditional Lenji wooden boats which are still in use for the trades with the UAE and other countries in the Gulf area.

                      IMG_9322.jpeg

                      Qeschm feels like a small „hippie“ island, no hijab, nobody cares. It was the first place in Iran where I saw men with short trousers and women with tops. At the beginning my wife had a scarf around her hair, but they said „you don‘t need it here, Teheran is far away“

                      Boat trip to the Dolphins

                      We were lucky to find some dolphins

                      Older people still wear traditional clothes

                      IMG_9330.jpeg

                      But if you are lucky, you also can find a „Persian princess“ in the mountains

                              @pechelman lol I’ve always been an early riser. Just finding ways to take advantage of this curse that has been bestowed upon me.

                                  @SKT this is easily the third try I’ve taken for this scene. The first two were from a different angle, and the light was not nearly as good. I’m with you, there’s definitely something about doorways. Getting close to liminal space territory.

                                    @SKT yes it is really an exotic place but with a very old culture and wonderful monuments
