The following photo doesn\'t add anything in illustrating the New Year\'s resolution mentioned in my last post above, although I was thinking of the reflexive concept of the rearview mirror reference to the photographer.
My two other New Year photo resolutions are, firstly, to move to a more reductive vision, which is leading me to using a 35mm or a 50mm lens — i.e., not shooting with the 21mm and 28mm lenses that I\'ve used a lot. Maybe I\'ll just shoot with one lens for a while. I\'ve been over the last few years influenced by Moriyama Daido and, in terms a reductive approach, am now thinking more about Ralph Gibson, but even more about Portuguese photographer Paulo Nozolino. I\'m blown away by the idea that Nozolino, who only shoots B&W film, does not even have a website. Love it!
Secondly, I want to shoot more vertical (portrait mode) shots. Before I started shooting with a digital camera in 2006, some ⅓ to ½ of my \"keepers\" were in portrait mode. It seems that digital has pushed most people to shoot almost entirely in landscape mode because the image on the monitor is much larger when post-processing. For processing portrait mode images I\'m now starting to flip then 90° to produce a larger view on the monitor.
BTW, the picture below is made with the Summilux-35 ASPH-FLE, while the eight ones above are with the Summicron-35 v4. I\'m beginning to think that, for bright light, I prefer the Summicorn 35 v4 (both on the M9 and the M-Monochrom).
