Leica M9 Street Photography

My view of photography has definitely shifted from wanting to make a pretty picture to wanting to be able to capture amazing moments. I don't see the world as a pretty picture I see the world through vastly important moments. Even the mundane can be stunning. To document and elevate moments is why I've fallen in love with photography.

Yesterday I had the privilege to shoot the streets with a Leica M9 - the king of digital rangefinders. It's beautiful for it's simplicity and manual nature. As a photographer, you just look at the world different with an M9 in your hand. "Leica Zen" is what Otto Schulze called it. It was a fantastic experience and I'll be looking forward to documenting more life with the M9 in the future...
