Photos from Paris Trip

Below are some recent photos from our Paris trip last month. Had a marvelous time there.

Big thanks to Arizona for loaning me her rig.

Leica M8.2 Safari Edition

Limited to only 500 units ($10,000), this Leica M8.2 Safari Edition is olive green with the silver anodised finished LEICA ELMARIT-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH.lens, an exclusive Billingham camera case and an elegant carrying strap.

Bottom line; it is sick.

Obviously I can't really afford one but it will be mine someday.

Jean-Yves Lemoigne

This photo series, PIXXXEL, by Jean-Yves Lemoigne for the latest issue of Amusement Magazine is both stunning and surreal.

PENTAX Limited Edition White K2000 Double Zoom Digital SLR System

I haven't used a Pentax since college but I still have fond, almost
fetishistic, memories of my all metal K-1000 from high school and the mostly polycarbonate ZX-M manual that got me through my fundamentals. When I saw the new Pentax K 2000 Limited Edition today, I was immediately smitten.

While in real day-to-day life I'd probably veer towards the all black color scheme of virtually every other DSLR out there, something about the black and white contrasting edition brought back a mad rush of memories of my early shutterbug days. I can't wait to check this out in person come February.

Target Digital Camera Gift Card

The Target Digital Camera GiftCard is probably the coolest gift card I have seen yet. In addition to loading it up with $50.00 - $1000.00 you can snap digital pics with it. The specs are a little lo-tech (1.2 Megapixel, 8 MB storage) but it's a pretty nifty concept.
