Young Men Olympians

It was hot, relentless, sun exposure makes you loopy. Sometimes, just sometimes, thats a good thing, everyone in it together. Its hot brutal, we dripping. I danced in the street. In a moment of clarity, when other places are getting snow I stopped complaining and decided to embrace the heat, the sounds, the smell and the sights. I hope you get a little glimpse of that below, enjoy.

My current full kit. Front to back, Left to right ish.
– Benro discontinued Carbon fiber tripod
– Grand Trunk Travel Utility pouch
– Chrome Metropolis Messenger Bag
– Chrome niko sling camera bag
– Voigtlander 15mm II
– Minolta Rokkor-X 50mm 1.4
– Sony a7r
– Business Cards
– Hackey sack
– Sony a7r II
– Zeiss Batis 25mm
– Flash Q
– Yongnuo yn560 III
– Grottos rocket blower
– Clik camera pouch with Minolta Rokkor 135mm 2.8

Memory cards, batteries, camera wipes galore in the chrome slings, reading material, cables, and USB / wall chargers in the large chrome and pouch.

I shoot the Minolta lenses because I think they have the best warm color and rendering, sharp as all get out and fun to use.

The Voigtlander just always comes in handy, Ive left it in the car and always wished I had it. I prefer the Leica M Mount so I can shoot macro close on the fly.

I feel like the a7r and the a7r II are almost magical cameras. They have a couple flaws but they perform and just take all the abuse I put them through. I was hit mid shoot with a torrential downpour and killed the rear screen, Sony support had it fixed in 5 days flat. Not bad for any camera repair center.

The chrome bags are indestructible and waterproof. Hit the zipper with some wax or weather sealant, And you can use them as flotation devices zipped up.

Dawn and I went to the FestiGals parade with the pussyfooters this weekend. Enjoy the photos.
