Cuautitlan, Mexico

A recent business trip took me to Cuautitlan, Mexico, where I spent a free Saturday walking around with my Leica Q2, capturing whatever I found interesting. I’m finding that a my eye is starting to gravitate towards minimalist scenes and negative space.

Terminal Concourse Building

This morning, I spent a little time in the Callowhill area of Philadelphia, at the Rail Park, before the rain got too heavy. I’m not overly-jazzed about this image though I do really like this building and look forward to going back under better lighting conditions. This was shot with my Leica MP240 using a 28mm pancake lens. The trade off for the super tiny size of this lens, is the lack of detail in the corners of the frame. The transition from sharp to soft is, unfortunately, quite pronounced.

Travel photos

Last week’s business trip took me down to Jacksonville, FL and then over to Chicago, IL before returning to Philly. I took my Leica MP and my 23mm & 40mm prime lenses with me. I’m still getting a handle on how to best operate this digital rangefinder but thoroughly enjoyed using it to make the below travel photos.
