Thank you, Michael.

 

My father saw the photo and asked who the old man in the picture was... A mixture of emotions... he was amused, but of course, pensive, lost in his own thoughts for a moment...sad even... like all of us, he is wondering where the years have gone...

 

He likes my camera though... HIS father before him had owned a Leica a few years before the war, it would have been sometime in the early to mid thirties. Having my Leica now, there feels a connection through my father back to my grandfather... and now my son, Finn, used my M when we were in Berlin last year and loved it... and I will buy him one when I can. I was hoping he could have a Q to take to Cambodia and Laos in July, but that doesn't look like it is going to happen now.. I was hoping for a big contract with my company which would have allowed me to have bought one for him, but we took the decision not to proceed, so the immediate shortfall makes that impossible now. I think an M to take to university is a more realistic target... but there will certainly be a Leica that he gets... so Leica will at some point in the near future be in four generations of my family.

 

Getting back to the photo, it's not the sort of picture I would normally take, but I am glad I have it. It's an important photo for me. I suspect it will become an even more important photograph in the, hopefully, distant future...

This is Michael who is currently homeless and who was selling The Big Issue magazine whose proceeds go towards finding shelter for homeless people in London.  I bought a magazine and returned it to Michael so that he could sell it again and he graciously agreed to have his picture taken.
