“ I always thought good photos were like good jokes.
If you have to explain it, it just isn’t that good"
My travel and personal time is being consumed by a Leica M8 currently which was an inspirational moment from a friend of mine.It's manual, its simple and takes me back to quiet times where you have to work everything out and use your feet to zoom.
Don't get me wrong it cannot do the job of my Nikon's at Weddings but it's a nice tool to kick back and see the world again without needing to carry a small factory.

Well around 1000 actuations down and still a few to go. I makes me think of my photojournalist hero and inspiration - Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst." –Henri Cartier-Bresson

Here is one of my favourites so far....... very Leica I am told
