Speaking of Provence I was out browsing at my local book store this evening 
and came across well known photographer Joel Meyerowitz's book entitled " 
Provence" published in 2012. Interestingly the back jacket photo of the 
author showed him holding a Leica S2. Upon reading further in the credits he 
talks about what a great camera it is and was instrumental in lending that 
Leica glow to the photos and that all photos in the book were taken with the 
S2 and provided great economies of scale which allowed the book to be made. 
I find that last sentence difficult to understand what the meaning is. 
Certainly the photos as well were nice but I wonder on the pages of a book 
whether it mattered if the photos were taken by an S2 or a Nikon D4. 
If you get a chance check out the book.
