Yup. We were at it again! It was street performing time for My Friend Lisa again this afternoon/tonight.

We all met up on Granville Street and found us a sheltered spot out of the rain and we played a bunch of songs. In fact we played a bunch of songs for nearly 4 hours at various spots along Granville street. We had an awesome visit from a man named Arnold. He was really drunk, and he had an upside down cross tattooed on his forehead. Thankfully Lani who is very experienced at dealing with the drunkin Arnold’s of the world was able to get him to not sit down smack dab in the middle of our circle.

We sort of had a nice rotating cast of performers that came and went as their schedules allowed, and worry not Renee for next time we will totally remember to bring out the awesome Casio of DOOM!!! for you to rock out upon. Although I have to say you were doing pretty good with the making up songs as we went!!

While the Leica M9 doesn’t preform like the new Canon’s in low light, it is still pretty remarkable at night time photos. The highest ISO is 2500 which compared to ISO 25600 that the new 5D has seems quite low, but it is still quite useable. While there is a fair amount of grain at these higher ISO’s it is a more natural film like grain which can really add to the mood of some photos.

Despite spending my weekend thus far taking many many photos of the work variety & even though it is raining, I totally had an overwhelming urge to wander about taking photos. This car was parked out side my house and basically forced me to put my shoes on :)

K I am shooting a wedding in the AM (the first wedding with the M9 so I am kinda super excited about that) but I thought i would post a couple of outtakes from yesterdays March Photo A Day.

We have these long (over 8′) cardboard tubes for an unrelated art project that I Thought would be cool to look up into. The blue shot is I added a flash to the shot with out adjusting the white balance to match.
I am reminded of these photos that we took on a road trip in 2007 of a smelting plant chimney Awesome fun really.
