There are almost too many possibilities. Photography is in direct proportion with our time: multiple, faster, instant. Because it is so easy, it will be more difficult.
Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.
Photography is a bridge between science and art. It brings to science what it needs most, the artistic sense, and to art the proof that nothing can be imagined which cannot be matched in the counterpoints of nature.
A picture can be an answer as well as a question but if you can't answer your question try to question your question... There can be questions without answers but no answers without questions.

We all would love sometimes to be free from our own knowledge. It is even the most difficult to unlearn - as the most important problems are.
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to see things new.
