“By the time I was twenty years into my career, the gaps in my armor started to reveal themselves,” says Ian MacDonald. He continues, “this is when I can recall experiencing the earliest signs of PTSD.” Ian is a multidisciplinary photographer who most aligns with street and travel photography. To say he has been on a journey is an understatement. Once a paramedic, Ian has seen things that many of us hopefully never will. Because of his experience and dedication to helping others, Ian found himself having to deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.) Always a creative, photography would act as a catalyst for healing. It would help him to move out of the darkness and into a much better place in life.

While folks are keen on wearing a Leica around their chest, they’re keen on sporting a watch on their wrist. And if you want to combine the two, then the TACS Automatic Vintage Lens II – Dark Metal Watch could be for you.
