ivan_g Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hi All. Do we have any WheelChair Leica Photographers out there? (I´m one.) Why not do a bit of Wheelcairphotography (WCP)? Take your time! The rules are simple: Photograph from the same hight as sittitng in a wheelchair ! (Not crawling on the ground or climbing ladders.( For obviuos reasons.)) Well? Too easy? Then use only 50 mm focallength! (As Cartier- Bresson, they say.) Any one?

patricks Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Hej Ivan! I do belive <a href="http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=89457">this gentleman</a> is in a wheel-chair as well, and do have some Leica equipment, if that indeed is important. A very friendly guy so don't hesitate to ping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_Es Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I have a very good friend here in Japan who requires a wheelchair for shopping and catching trains. I've developed, as a result, a certain wheelchair conscience. I think that Ivan's idea is a very good one. I'm going to try it. Thank you, Ivan, for this idea.

Uhooru Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Just for the other side, these people were a boatload of fun, I hung with them for a few minutes at the SF peace march last year<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricks Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hej Ivan! Jag är född och uppväxt i Sverige, i Stockholmstrakten närmare bestämt, men bor i USA sedan 8 år. Kul med lite fler svenskar här omkring! :-) MVH, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas_martin3 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I broke my leg on Jan 1 skiing. So, I've been in a wheelchair for two months. In this situation, at least compared with "normal" ambulatory life, you feel like you have much more time to observe. So, I bought an M7 and a 50mm lens. I've just started shooting from my wheelchair. Any tips from those who've tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
