Film Stock: Portra 400

Camera: Leica M6

Field Notes: I got a used Leica M6 when my kids were babies in order to photograph them growing up. It has been out of commission for awhile and these are my first images I have shot with it in a few months. after getting some major repairs done. So these are a few images of my kids at home and out and about with me. They make it even more of a challenge as I move pretty slow with this camera and so from time to time I miss the real magic moments. It's a work in progress.I hope on shooting with this camera for the rest of my life and hopefully handing it down to my kids along with all the images I shot of them. 

 A rangefinder is challenging when you shoot on a SLR auto focus everyday  but it is always great seeing the images. I think shooting with this camera is like playing a musical instrument. The learning curve to getting amazing images with it on a regular basis takes practice. I love the process and I am super stoked to have this project to work on my images with this camera.
