Me and my Leica :: Day Two

Hey Gang,
Just my second day out with my new Leica! Im totally loving this little camera! Its sad to say but as a professional photographer thats all I seem to be doing, professional work. Im not shooting for myself as much as I used to. This forced me to ask why? I guess the answer was simple, I hated lugging around my huge Nikon SLR D3, its such a behemoth of a camera. Carrying it around screamed "paparazzi" *LOL*. Then a few friends of mine introduced me to a leica. Dave and long time Leica wedding shooter even lent me his Leica M7 to test it out, it was so cool to shoot film again! The first thing I noticed is how small it was, so compact and quite! The other great thing (depends on how you look at it) was its fully manual including focus perfect for the photographer that wants to get back to basics and not mess around with a hundred functions. Its simply a black box that makes photos, well it doesnt really make the photos, you know what I mean! Here are just a few pics that I took at my in-laws for Sunday Dinner.
I think every photographer has this photo somewhere in their collection! *lol*

Just a quick shot of our Godson Cristian, dont you just love the cheeks!

This was a moment I captured between my sister-in-law and Ava. Ava wasn't really in the mood to finish her dinner! *lol*

Awesome Bass!! sooo cool!!
Love that last one Bassem! Catching your sister-in-law's double reflection in the cabinet behind is the icing on the cake! I think I could sit at my family table for a hundred mealtimes with my finger on the shutter the whole time and still never capture a shot like that! You've got a gift man!
OMG - I love these...... hahahahahaha
