My pictures are those things, light, people, whatever is going on that instantaneously motivate me to shoot, preconceiving a football player or doctor doing their thing is completely out of the question for "real time" picture taking. Now I imagine there are many Leica users who do preconceive what they want to put on film, that's OK because I'd assume that the photographer might lean toward the "fine art" category than the photojournalist who wants only the 1/30th of a second of captured unplanned time! What I find interesting is how both types of photographer are served by the same camera...M6 or other Leica, to make outstanding photographs preconceived or real life. The camera is the common bond between both even though one doesn't relate to the other type of pictures. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
