nicolaisabelle asked: Hey Chad! Just dropping by to say I really like the last photos you've put up here. Overall they have a nice mood glooming over them, and it's nice to see some wide open spaces as compared to some of the more inhabited locations on some other photos.

laviebelem asked: Chad! I have to tell you. I'm really enjoying your photos from rolls 74 and 75. They have this eerie quality about them. It's fantastic :)

On Weekend Shoots and Second Jobs
The date I post with my pictures is the date I finished the roll they’re on. If you’re an obsessive compulsive type that enjoys numbers (or are just really damn observant), you may have noticed that these dates have been more bunched together lately.
I’ve gradually moved from shooting several frames a day to shooting almost all of it on Saturday and/or Sunday. Last week was a...

Old Stuff #7: My Dad
He turned 68 last Friday. Not actually that old for an American these days, but as Indiana Jones quipped: “It’s not the years, Honey, it’s the milage.”
Born in England in 1942, he immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1950. They took a cargo ship across the Atlantic, traveling through the Panama Canal, to finally arrive in San Francisco after 5 weeks at...

A Response to 'Nikon FM As Teacher' →
epicleicaness has written a nice and very thoughtful response to my ‘Nikon FM As Teacher’ post. Check it out. This also reminded me of Nathan’s excellent ‘Your Camera Matters’ article over at The Photon Fantastic. Go give it a gander too if you haven’t already.
@epicleicaness: It made me happy that you called me a ‘young man’ as I’ll be...
digitaltoanalogue asked: I reblogged your last post on http://simonjamesonweston.wordpress.com because it is really cool to read such an honest article from someone with a leica - really refreshing - thanks

Nikon FM As Teacher
I think most of you know about the problem I had with my Leica early in the project and how it led me to substitute it for awhile with a Nikon FM. If not, you can read about it here if you’re interested in the details. Now that I’m back on track with the Leica, I wanted to share my thoughts on what I learned from using the Nikon and why I’m glad my Leica had goo on the...

photonfantastic-deactivated2011 asked: Chad:
You're too, too kind. I think that if 3/4 of the world's gear reviewers were replaced with Nathans, we'd have far too many Nathans. It's more than enough for only one Nathan to inflict on the Tumblr-sphere this particular brand of dense, long-winded, and somewhat pedantic photo-musing. But I thank you for reading it! And I thank you for the shout-out. And I...

filmus-monochromus asked: Gee Willikers I'm an artist!?
Chad thanks for the shout it is very much appreciated. I have loved your stuff from the start. and have seen some good changes since you started the project.
It's about six months now and I hit a bit of a dead zone when I did this a couple of years ago. It can get hard to stay focused and on track but I know you can finish...

oliverhutton asked: Hey! Thanks for the shout out! I know I've been slacking on the Granny Archives a lot lately. I have a ton more to scan, but I've just been bouncing around with getting a lot of personal work up. I'm about 12 rolls behind at least! I need to start queueing up some more posts for the pipeline.
I love what you've been doing lately by the way. You're killing...

laviebelem asked: Chad! Thank you so much for your kind words! "Another Lisa Show in the making." What a fantastic compliment and how incredibly sweet of you.
I've really enjoyed all your work these past few months. You have a great perspective and eye for composition. I cannot wait to see how you finish off the rest of the year :)

Thanks
I’m nearly halfway through my Leica Year and this post is overdue.
I wanted to thank all my followers, and especially the folks who have taken the time to let me know that they appreciate the work I’m doing—whether it’s by clicking that heart on one of my posts, writing a comment, or recommending me. It means a lot. Although this project is for me, and the blog is...
