Hi I'm Martin, a amateur photographer that likes to shoot street photography, landscapes, seascapes and odd image of dogs on digital as well as film. I now have a Leica M-P (Typ-240) & my late father's 1959 Leica M3 single stoke with Summicron 50mm duel range lens, Summicron 35mm, 50mm lenses and 90mm f/2.8 tele-elmarit. My blog was formerly known as 'The 35mm Shootist'
Taken either this year at Mote Park Cafe, Maidstone and after a long dog walk, bacon rolls all round! I was amused by the Cockapoo on the right trying to sit taller than his larger companion.

We came across this young woman carrying a eight week old puppy by the Place Claude Lelouch in Deauville, France. The pup was very young and it was somewhat nervous about his surroundings. Personally, both my wife and I felt the dog was far too young to be out and about especially as the weather was forecasted to be very warm later that day.

Deauville in France again. While my wife was having a conversation with this lady on the street corner, I was amused of how her two greyhounds where standing around their owners shadow on the pavement.

Deauville, France. These seats where stacked up outside a caf’e and the pattern in the bright sunlight I found quite mesmerising.

Before I went away this time, one was a little naughty and purchased a Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens… Don’t tell the missus!
Trouville-sur-Mer, France. On a recent trip to Normandy, I was crossing the road looking for anything to shoot and came across this scene. Couldn’t quite work out what was going on here, the third bike looked a bit small for Papa, so maybe they were waiting for baby bear, who knows?

Whitstable, England. I took this shot as the local sailing club where the members had finished the mornings racing. The woman’s smile for me said it all, seemed to be a good days sailing.

Mote park, Maidstone, England. This was same morning as the previous image. I saw people riding on these things in the park, and had to ask the wife what are called… stop laughing, I’m showing my age when you don’t know names of these things!

Mote park, Maidstone, England. A cold, foggy morning with sunlight just starting to break though the fog. I took this either this month while walking the dog, I’d seen these trees in the River Len but not paid too much attention to the scene until seeing them with misty background. This one to be printed and framed on the wall I think.

Whitstable seafront, England. Local sailing club had finished their morning racing and were coming in as the tide was going out. I liked this shot because not only capturing the man’s expression but the queue of boats waiting to be brought up the jetty.
