not a point and shoot

by matt


I love shooting with a Barnack Leica from 1952. It has absolutely none of the features you’d find on today’s cameras. It takes a little bit of preparation and time to get the shot you want. It’s a little fiddly to use. It’s most definitely not suited for emerging from a dull underpass where you’ve just taken a couple of shots only to see a man riding a Penny Farthing past on the pavement. Yup…most definitely not a point and shoot camera.
