Coaster

Santa Monica Pier. A Leica M3 has recently come into my life, and so for the time being has replaced the Ikon Contina I'd been using for much of my street photography. Still love that camera, but this one's a real pleasure.

Sunset, Santa Monica

Ran a roll of color through the Ikon a week or two ago. I don't shoot it much and forgot it was in there, only remembering when for some reason I looked at the film speed setting. Funny how you have an entirely different way of seeing things when you think in black and white (this one was after I realized what I had).

Bus Yard

School buses, Santa Monica, at sunset.

Stormy Weather

Things have cleared up a bit since I shot this from the Santa Monica Pier in the midst of February's rains. There was something dated about the textures inthe image, sort of left me with the feeling it could have been made a century ago.
