My thought about that is that Leica cameras do the bidding of their 
photographer.  The camera does nothing by itself.

Her set would have probably played well in Johnny Deadman's old Street 
Photography list, and that particular genre as a whole does not get many 
nods here on the LUG.

As Deadman said, and I'm so fond of quoting, "photography is just a higher 
form of pointing."

To which I might add, "you don't have to look.
