     I just happened to think that Leica and street photography have something in common. Based on the number of tweets and FB likes, many people did like the first book which is why I created a second post:

   What street photography means to me, my a**. Incredibly condescending tone, mediocre photographs. Features silly quotes of himself throughout the book, what is that all about? Thomas who?

   pro photographers like he, will sure love the new gen cameras able to non stop record 8Mpix video and have feature to auto find good photo within the stream.

   hubby delivers 90% shot pics from a wedding. beat this and then come with book later.

    “I have tried a Leica M9 and failed. Maybe I’m just too spoiled to handle a manual Rangefinder camera.”

    I would suggest picking up a M6 and shooting film for a year. There are a lot of questions that are answered by going through that process. I guarantee one thing, you won’t think you are too spoiled to handle a manual RF camera, you will think rather that you have been deprived by not learning to handle one. There is more to photography (and life) than increasing its speed.

    That said, I take my hat off to him for taking the time to put the book together and to publish it. It is pretty raw but still a good effort.
