Subject: [Leica] While in Santa Fe...

Today we are in Santa Fe, NM on our cross-country trip having left
Washington D.C. on Sunday about noon. We've missed the worst of the
weather although we were attacked by a viscous herd of russian thistle
(tumbleweed) driven by high winds in the Amarillo, TX area. Most
tumbleweed just go "poof" when you hit them but the big ones, the
great-granddad size, those have small trunks and are capable of
breaking a windshield. Fortunately we managed to miss those although
we had an incident with a tire tread that was somewhat unhappy - our
first misadventure with the Corvette. We'll need to have the air dam
tweeked when we're back in California.

ANYWAY.... we're in Santa Fe where the light is amazing even if it is
a bit chilly. So I'm out shooting and for some reason these are the
things I'm seeing.

I sorta like 'em. I admit that maybe it's my desire to have an M8
because these are much more Leica images than they are Canon-style
images. If there is such a thing.

These are all shot with the 1Ds Mk II, mostly at ISO 100, with the
24-70 f2.8L lens. I only had room for a single camera on this trip.

Comments are most welcome, of course.
