While the soft winter light and hyper ethereal marine layer provide the perfect backdrop for photography, the most alluring element of the Oregon Coast is something that I often have trouble explaining or articulating to someone who has never been.

For me, it’s an undeniable attraction to the ambience. Like a moth to lantern light. The sights, sounds, textures and tones all weave together in a tapestry for the senses, an effortless melody where simple moments are often the soundtrack to lasting memories. A place that gently reminds you to be present and that the “good old days” aren’t always in the past.

Melissa and I recently had the incredible opportunity to join our friends and family @dannerboots for the Kendal Mountain Festival. Known as the gateway to the Lake District, Kendal is rife with inimitable natural beauty and it proved to be the perfect gathering point for the likeminded adventurer and explorer. We spend 3 days soaking in the sights and sounds of the most vibrant community, and came away inspired beyond measure. We were a long way from our house, but always had the strangest sensation that we were right at home at the Kendal Mountain Festival.

Thank you to @dannerboots for a truly unforgettable experience 🥾

The Swiss Alps have this inimitable influence of inspiring you to slow down and savor the simple with all of your senses. Even against the backdrop of next level luxury and obscene natural beauty, there is always this gentle reminder of what really matters most. On this particular Autumn morning, it was coffee, croissants and great company 🇨🇭

Thank you to @leicacamerausa for the incredible opportunity to recently spend some time with the new Leica M EV1. This camera felt familiar from the first frame as it offered the classic manual M experience, with the added advantage of an electronic viewfinder. This feature is a core function and native to the excellent Q system, which made it feel like a harmonious arrangement of form and function.

With the M EV1, you still set the focus and exposure by hand, but the EVF gives a clear look at the scene, while the magnification and focus aid features are much appreciated and super employable for trying to nail focus every time.

This camera maintains the inimitable character of the M system, while crafting a modern way to compose and create in a unique hybrid nature.

The new M EV1 is simply a joy to use and we owe a huge thanksto @maryirenem @kellumphoto @jack_devanna @leicacamerausa for the experience. 🔴

A quick coastal color study, shot over a couple of days along the inimitable Southern Oregon coastline, with my best friends by my side. It’s in these idyllic and cinematic moments that I’m often reminded of this line from my favorite show of all time:

““I wish there was a way to know you’re in “the good old days” before you’ve actually left them” - Andy Bernard The Office

This has always stuck with me as a poignant reminder to fully appreciate and embrace these experiences, before the moment becomes a memory, and this time and space inevitably passes us all by.

“My career path to becoming a commercial creative has been circuitous, riddled with challenging decisions at almost every turn. The self doubt. The second guessing. The imposter syndrome. All of it has entered the chat at one point. Thankfully, not every decision is one to toil over and the opportunity to join @leicacamerausa family was an effortless and natural alignment.

The funny thing is, the inimitable craftsmanship and world-class optics actually pale in comparison to the quality of community that I’ve found at Leica. I don’t mean this in esoteric and overarching terms: I mean real people with a shared passion that are tangibly excited to help you succeed. A very special thank you to @maryirenemarek for the decade of support and the entire team @leicacamerausa for investing their time and trust into our friendship.

Even though my path may have been a winding one, it led me exactly where I was meant to be.

“When we are setting up a wide angle shot, we often like to test the entire focal range of the Sony 16-35 f/2.8 GM II to see what makes the most sense for the scene and story. Each frame has its own place in the creative process and this approach allows us to find that perfect balance between setting the stage while highlighting the subject’s place within it.” - Photographer Ryan Field @ryan_field_
