How does Sony A7 (latest) compare with Leica Monochrome?

Peter,

This is an interesting POV. I pretty much in art school decades ago learned just the opposite, where I was trained to make negatives that could be consistently optimized and printed on a grade number two paper "straight printed."

In a way I continue this tradition from film to digital.

Digital offers a new creative freedom for sure.

On subject of manipulation.
You may find interesting the Latvian photographer Egons Spuris.

So this image, for example

It is comprised of 3 images, actually.
Printed on the same paper.
I think it's in Eastman Kodak Museum now, so belong to history already 🙂

BTW, one of the images there is of the late guy (much younger at time) who I consider my teacher - Alexander Slyusarev

I had a privilege of many communications/discussions with him over last few years and that formed my tastes in photography that I have now.

Mihail,

Thanks for the link.

Elsewhere I have posted that I live in somewhat of a bubble not different than in the film "Welcome To Marwen." I created a "safe place."

I think I have to step out and challenge myself. Lots to consider.

Many thanks.

Cal,
I think, one's personal taste and sense of style if the only gates one has to pass. Rules? What rules?
But on the other hands, restrictions are not always a bad thing.
Remember, NASA spent millions to develop a pen that would write in space. Russian, not having access to such technologies, were simply using a pencil 🙂

Mikhail,

Great analogy.

Not many do not know that the F-14 is somewhat of a copy of of a Mig that proceeded it.

The Russians came up with their own version of an A-10 to use instead of helicopters in Afganistan.

Like in music it is only combinations of only twelve tones.
