Winter day at Walden Pond

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined

-Henry David Thoreau

This afternoon we took a walk around Walden Pond. It’s about a mile or so. Such a great place. We’ve been going there for years.

Several parts were frozen over. But you could spot some nice reflections.

I don’t know what it is about that place. But it makes me feel good just taking a stroll, especially with the family.

My love affair with film continues.

My dream camera has been a single stroke, Leica M3 which many consider the best Leica ever. I finally found one and it arrived today. It’s a 50 year old camera and aside from a few light scratches, it’s in excellent condition. Completely manual, no battery, no electronics and I hope it can last another 50 years. 

I just put in a roll of Kodak Potra and downloaded this light meter app. I can’t wait to get shooting.
