This is one of my very favourite portraits of a stranger that I’ve shot so far. I shot it on one of my “Portrait Days” that I arranged in Oslo. That’s a thing I’d like to do more of. Anyway, this musician dropped by with his little guitar. I placed him in my favourite chair in the pub I had borrowed for the day. There is a big window to the right giving the soft light. In addition, I was trying out a couple of Leica lenses from the Leica store in Oslo. One of them was a silver 50mm f/1,4 Summilux and when I saw this photo I fell deelpy in love with it. Of course I ended up buying it.

Lone was my colleague/boss & friend for many years when I worked as an it consultant. This was the first portrait I shot with a Leica. The equipment was borrowed from another colleague of ours. The light is from a window showing an overcast sky.
