The Leica Travelogues

So this week we're in Albufeira, Portugal. I traveled there back in 2014 with my wife. I was in Dublin for work, and we happened to have a bank holiday long weekend. She had her heart set on Albufeira and I wanted to go to Porto or Lisbon. Guess who won..00:00Travelogue: Albufeira01:28image:Albufeira, Portugal | Leica M7 + Leica 28mm Summicron-M ASPH + Kodak T-Max 400view image03:59Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

Last week I mentioned how the most rewarding images I've taken have been the images I shot on set. I also discussed how the images I've shot are not permitted to see the light of day. That still true. So why am I showing you an image I shot on set?00:00Travelogue: On Set00:22image: Wicklow, Ireland | Leica M7 + Leica 50mm Summicron-M f/2 + Kodak Tri-X 40004:20Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

We all go through a photographic crisis at some point or another. When we start taking pictures, we might be focused on Street Photography or Landscape or portraits. But at some point our interest in what we are photographing dwindles.00:00On The Street: Crisis00:15We all go through a photographic crisis at some point or another. When we start taking pictures, we might be focused on Street Photography or Landscape or portraits. But at some point our interest in what we are photographing dwindles, and we need to explore new avenues to keep motivated and inspired by our work.02:03image: Check out Daniel Milnor's work and podcast here.05:04Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

We're back in Morocco this week to discuss another image. Let's take a walk through the edge of the Sahara.00:00Travelogue: Nomad02:19image: Nomad | Erfoud, Morocco | Leica M262 + Leica 18mm Super-Elmar-M ASPH03:02Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

This week we're not on the street. We're not traveling to some far off place. But we will be discussing a digital space. A digital world in fact. And what I think is emerging as a new style of photography.00:00On The Street: The Art of Game Photography00:19Game photography is starting to emerge more and more each year. There are games like The Last of Us, Uncharted 4, and most recently Horizon Zero Dawn. I think its a great way for people to experiment with their style. To try out new looks or creative compositions. Without the worry of screwing something up. But will it make you better on the street or in your documentary work? Probably not. Will it help you interact with others? Definitely not.00:38image: Image Copyright Naughty Dog02:36image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us02:57image: CLICK HERE TO READ THE TIME.COM ARTICLE03:34image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us03:48image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us04:07See the full post of 20 un-cropped images HERE on my blog.04:32image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us04:43image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us05:02image: Taken with the Photo Mode in The Last of Us05:55See the top 20 images from the Last of Us on my blog.

As image makers we are all inherently imperfect. The road we take is riddled with failures. Failed moments, failed light, personal fails. This helps us learn and expand our creativity. Here is one such failed attempt.00:00Travelogue: NY Fail00:09image: Chinatown; NYC (2015) | Leica M9 + Leica 18mm Super-Elmar-M ASPH01:20Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

Today we discuss this particular image, dubbed The Sign, and whether or not a sign like this can have any effect in a large city such as New York.00:00Travelogue: The Sign00:11image: NYC (2015) | Leica M9 + Leica 18mm Super-Elmar-M ASPH02:30Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

Do you ever have that serene feeling when walking home late at night. Where the streets are empty but the commotion of the city is still slightly heard in the deep distance. You feel alone but relaxed.

It's a new year and time for a new set of projects and challenges. But let's review the last challenge I completed in 2016. A challenge I feel everyone should try out that's interested in photography...00:00image: Day 1 | Leica M262 + Leica 35mm Summicron-M ASPH00:14image: Day 2 | iPhone 6s + Filmborn app00:50image: Day 13 | Leica M262 + Leica 35mm Summicron-M ASPH 01:10image: Day 16 | Leica M262 + Leica 35mm Summicron-M ASPH01:36image: Day 23 | iPhone 6s + Filmborn App01:43image: Day 24 | iPhone 6s + Filmborn App 02:02image: Day 29 | iPhone 6s + Filmborn App02:29See the full set of images either on my blogor on Instagram.02:42Check out my Blog to see more images and to follow my work.

We are going to try something new today. Instead of presenting an image right off the bat. We're going to paint a mental picture first.

I wanted to give an update as to where "The Leica Travelogues" are going. I also have been struggling with gear and the general quality of the episodes I've produced. They've sounded quiet, muffled and "amateur" in my opinion.

Altercation's happen every day on the streets of large cities. Hell even in small towns. But its always nice to see someone go out of there way to diffuse a situation and not fuel the fire.00:00image: Toronto, Canada 00:36image: Toronto, Canada01:12If you like what you've heard, please follow me on Twitter and Instagram and don't forget to subscribe to these tapes.

Once we finally arrived in the Souk in Marrakesh we began to explore. Down the narrow alleys with tourists lining the shops and store owners rallying people. This city is alive. Even at 11pm. Crazy.

When you live in a large city, things sometimes escalate due to the proximity of people. Too many people packed into an area can force the worse out of them at times. Something like this! for example.00:00image: Toronto, Ontario | Leica M7; Leica 18mm Super-Elmar-M; Ilford XP-2 40002:36See more of my work on my blog.Also connect with me on:TwitterInstagram
