Following up on my last post, I got the final piece to my Leica M3 kit today(hot shoe meter VCII).
Very excited.
Oh and I'm starting to sell my other camera gear too.

Leaving the Hasselblad here in Turkey for keston to play around with. New, to me, Leica M3 + 50/f2 Planar waiting in Hawaii when I get back.
Taking a break from my normal fashiony setup portraits. I'm thinking street portraits for now.. if that's the right term. I think it will mesh well with my time divided by the new secret project.
Not to mention, I have at least 25 rolls of undeveloped 120 from the past several years, AND 4 rolls of provia, 1 roll of velvia, 2 fuji 400h, and some tmax from this turkey trip alone.

Very nice day today. Jacket, T-Shirt, Jeans kind of day. Keston and I walked from Uchisar through Goreme Valley to Goreme town, had tea at a merchant in the middle of no where inside the valley, got to Goreme and had some lunch, smoked some Nargile, and caught the bus back up to Uchisar. I mostly shot the Hasselblad + 50/f4 Distagon but snapped a few with the Leica M8 + 35/f2 Summicron for the blog.
Winding down the night with some french press coffee, forgot the type of coffee, and mapping out a project me and Keston are working on. Can't say though, for now, it's a secret! And it's not a photography project.

Keston and I took a hike around the mountains here in Uchisar, Cappadocia. We were accompanied by some random dogs who seemed to make sure we were okay and wanted to keep the wild wolves away from us.

Took a stroll around Uchisar today on the way to the our cave friend, Hasan. His shop is in a cave, and he sells many fine turkish items. Snow is still here, but it's getting a little warmer. My feet get cold very fast.
