The Lyrics From “Loving Cup”

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on June 30, 2013 by johnbuckley100

We love the verse that goes:

“I’m the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.
I’m the man that brings you roses when you ain’t got none.
Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won’t fight
You if you want to push and pull with me all night.”

Leica M, 50mm APO-Summicron-Asph.

Beautiful Evening For Crashing A Family Photo Shoot

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on June 16, 2013 by johnbuckley100

The family was on the bridge over the C&O Canal in Georgetown, posing while the pro with the long lens shot up from the tow path.  The light was gorgeous.  By luck or opportunism, they’d chosen a good evening for the family portrait.  We didn’t have a long lens, but there was that gorgeous light…

And because the M-240 offers big, 24mp files, and because the 50 APO-Summicron-Asph is so precise a lens, we did have a file we could crop, and still capture what a lovely evening it was, and what a nice family they were.

Memorial Day 4

 

Leica M9, 50mm Noctilux

Going down to the Vietnam Memorial on Memorial Day stirs up emotions for many, though for others it takes on the feeling of a reunion, or a street fair.

Old friends gather, while others view the assemblage as an opportunity to sell goods or services.

Memorial Day 3

But the principal reason for being there is to commemorate the lives of those who sacrificed for their family and their country.

Memorial Day 5

There are still unhealed wounds and bitterness, arguments unfinished after 40 years.

Memorial Day 6

Happily, for many this is a holiday to celebrate the nation, and the beginning of summer.
