Shooting with a LEICA is like a long tender kiss, like firing a pistol, like an hour on the analyst's couch. - Henri Cartier-Bresson

for me, it's more like playing a telecaster, or using a zippo. these are tools that were designed and built perfectly, and not improved upon since. they feel simple, pure, and inevitable: as though they sprung from nature, not man's imagination. they weren't created so much as channeled from the collective heart of all things.

also, on a more shallow note, so, soooo pretty
