There’s something charming about animated GIFs. I’ve thought about taking sequences of still frames and creating an animated GIF

I have been using my M9 for about two months now. And I like it. A lot. True, I gave up my Nikon system, sold seven Leica M lenses, and auctioned off smaller photo items too numerous to count, and I was still only close to covering the price of the M9. And the verdict is in. It was worth every penny.

This year was great for me. Great because I got to do some traveling with Binita (Morocco and Nepal/India) and great because of all the camera gear I went through. In 2009, I got my first Leica, a Leica M9, which I am enjoying more than any camera I have had before it. But getting my M9 wasn’t easy, though I can’t complain.

Binita and I returned from a month-long trip to Kathmandu. This was probably the last trip for me to use the Zeiss Ikon—or rather, 35mm film—as my primary camera.

In 2004, I bought the camera I wanted: a Nikon FM3a. I bought it after selling my Nikon N60, Pentax K1000, Canon AE-1, a Nikon kit zoom lens, and some other stuff I can’t even remember. I did all of this selling and buying on my feet in Kathmandu, Nepal, at the end of my Peace Corps service.
