Winnipeg Street: Arthur + LFI Photo Story
I often upload photos to the Leica Fotografie International magazine / gallery with the hopes of having my images join the other great photos within their Master Shots, Photo Story, or Feature Photo sections. It’s a great way to showcase your work to a wide range of Leica photographers. I was happy to see that my photo of Arthur along with the side story was published today under the Photo Story category. It was a wonderful encounter with a man who was very happy to talk and share a part of his life with me. Cheers.

Thanks my friend!
Congratulations Mike!! I’m not surprised…your photos and stories deserve to be published!
Thank you Mojca!
Dear Mike,
Many congrats on a job well done, as all of your work is. I can feel the sadness of forced separation coming through Arthur’s face. He looks of longing. How sincere your work is and such a gift.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Peace and much respect ~ Allison
Thank you so much, Allison! :) Arthur was really inspiring to talk to and I’m glad that I stopped to talk with him, and the rest of his buddies as well. I also think he appreciated someone talking to him respectfully, instead of simply scoffing and walking away.
Hope you’re having a wonderfully creative weekend :)
Mike? If no one has told you lately that you are a really good soul, I’m telling you. You are a really good soul :)
I’m by the sea this weekend – writing and grooving with nature . . . could not be happier.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday!
