My B&W Necktie...

Whilst travelling on assignments, there are photographic moments that pass-me-by; it's a bit of a bother to turn back or I make excuses; my gear's out-of-reach; I'll get to it next time – serendipity shrinks rapidly in my rearview mirror.

I now sport an old necktie – my LEICA M6 is slung just where I need it to shoot the serendipitous up ahead...

PS: If the Leica's not 'round my neck, someone else is bound to fire-off a frame or two...

I utilise the ProPhoto AirS Lighting System to achieve desired 'working-apertures' and as 'fill-in' for shadow detail. I often apply B&W Lee Filters for contrasting enhancement to skies primarily. Prime Lenses are a must for all B&W film photography.

My fine-art collections are exhibited both abroad (Italy) and locally in Cape Town…
