This is why I take pictures

I keep coming back to that one... Perfect and timeless.

+1 here!

and if I may analyze it, I think that it ia the combination of a great moment, a great movement, and a perfect framing, with the heads meeting at the converging point of the vertical and horizontal lines from the background.

Really great shot.

and these ones too...

Michael: love that photo of the Brooklyn Bridge. I have one with a similar effect that has the capital of the bridge support running along the bottom of the frame. 15 Heliar?

Another family wedding photo:

Taken with decidedly non-state-of-the-art gear (Nikon F90x and AF 35 f/2 lens).

Not taken on any fancy full-frame digital M9 prototype, but on an old and perfectly good M6 🙂

In the spirit of "shooting with what you have", one of my favorites of the summer I actually grabbed with my iPhone:

Great Thread...Great Idea...I really don't care if Leica ever makes another high priced piece of photo gear...I come here for photo like this one...
This street shot speaks to me...I love it...
It doesn't really matter what camera took this...😀

Nice thread. 🙂
Here's a relatively recent one that I really like:

Wow. This is the best thread in a long time.

Couldn't agree more, there's some great images in this thread. Makes a welcome change from obsessing about kit that isn't even out yet.

And thanks too for all the kind comments regarding my shot.

Excellent thread.
I must join the compliments and add something of my own:

This one's quite old (2005) but I always come back to it

This one makes me smile

Great idea for a thread and a light in the dark land of "What-Leica-will-come". A collection of outstanding photos that show that the only things that really matters in photography are the pictures.

Not an M9. that's for sure. In fact until reading this thread, I didn't even know there was an M9. Probably not for me. This is taken with an M4P.

DGA,

The guy and pup shot really made me smile.

Here is another bump.
