Current project: portraits for you and for me

In exchange of personal or professional portraits for you, I make some for two projects of mine: "Looking at the light" and "A few of your favorite things".

Contact me for details: jalb@pobox.com.

Example of a "Looking at the light" portrait:

Stolen Moments

Being quite busy, in my free time I do "Stolen Moments" photography - keeping an eye on the good light, mostly the available and indoors kind.

(I also love this Oliver Nelson tune.)

So what I do is mostly unprepared snapshots.

Discovered photography with my kids, bought a Canon G2 after too many film processing expenses and mishaps, and enjoyed it a bit too much :-)

I went back to film with a few Contax cameras and Zeiss lenses, affordable second hand gear found on eBay. A friend lent me his Hasselblad 500C/M. I like how these lenses let the light through.

I'm using a Canon 5D mark II with the 24-70 f/2.8 L, and manual focus Zeiss + Leica lenses with adaptors.

In my pocket at all times there's a Fujifilm Finepix f31fd.
