Photo by myself in lower Manhattan.
Yes, it's Monday again. How on earth does that happen?
Apologies for the lack of a Halloween photo. I didn't have anything 1/2way decent that represented both the holiday and NYC. With luck, I'll snap something on Monday. Crossing fingers!
In the meantime, I am excited about my newest toy. Mark bought me a Leica Dlux 5 for my birthday after much, much waffling on my part.
Me: No, I don't need anything. The economy is terrible. I can make do with this scratched lens.
What was I thinking???!
Everything about this camera is simple and beautiful, including the packaging. This one sports the optional grip.
I've only tried a few shots with it, since we had terrible weather and I couldn't figure out all the buttons. Already I am seduced by the results. The Leica seems like a great alternative to a big SLR.
Normally, I am against animal testing ;-) My willing victim stood patiently, his eyes locked on a small rubber ball. He wore a maniacal grin.
Of course, a nice camera is nice, but if you're not putting in the time to take photos, a nice camera will not get you anywhere.
More later!

What a poser and all in the name of your art! I got to play with one of these in the camera shop I use, the manager was very keen to point out how nice it is and he is right.
I loved the old aluminum helmets. This is a helmet you find everywhere but we have to go with the times. Rupert looks gorgeous as is your new camera. That it may give a lot of nice postings.
Hi Kitty! Congrats for your new Leica! We can expect great pictures, right?
And Rupert is great!
There's nothing camera-shy about Rupert!
;-D
Kitty, happy birthday present! I'm so glad you went with the Leica. And regarding "animal testing," in this case, I approve.
Is it my imagination, or are Boston Terriers having a surge of popularity? As a bulldog lover, I see the appeal, and I bet they're a lot healthier than their . . . stouter . . . thicker? . . . cousins.
Enjoyed your visit the other day. Hope you'll return.
Hello Kitty
A loving partner can take the angst out of choosing which new camera to buy so my theories about consistency are out the window. However as an LX3 user I am certain that your new acquisition will be great as it seems to be an improvement on the earlier model.
Pics so far are great
