It was a great day today. I brought my photographs and bunch of contact
sheet to Caroline Schroeder. I really value her opinion and she was great
help to me before and today as well. We went through pictures and than
through contacts. She was asking me a lot of questions and giving me her
opinion. All those pictures are ment to be for my
Childhood project.
I was a bit lost in this subject in past two month, didn't know where to
go and how to approach it. Even I have head full of ideas somehow I was
stagnating. I know what was missing! Discussion and opinion of somebody who
I know is making photographs the way I like it. And that happened today. I
have now clear view and know what to do and how. It feels great.
On the way I stopped to take a look at one Leica M6 wit 50mm Summicron for
a quite nice price. The person is working in small but great photo shop. It
is one of those real photo shop. The one of those which are full of
cameras, bags and photo equipments. Small but you can look around for
hours. Not like those these days camera shops where you have twelve digital
cameras and seventeen types of batteries - feels like electro shop and not
camera shop.
But anyway I was there and I hold M6 in my hand and man it feels good.
Really much better that the one I had borrowed half year ago for four
hours. This one was used, yes you can see it on the lens and on body as
well. But it felt very compact nice in hand and works very smoothly. It is
just still bloody expensive.
