OK so before I can start doing street (social) photography I need a camera. I normally use DSLR’s professionally, but a massive camera like this would just gets to heavy carrying around town all day. My weapon of choose is Leica M8, using a 35mm prime lens.
To be consistent I’ve chosen to shoot only in Black and White. I used to shoot with an M6 film camera but don’t have the time and money to develop the film, juggle work, social life along with personal work. So I have made the decision to use a digital Leica, and just tape the display so I can’t chimp.
- Leica M8 (35mm Lens)
- Notebook & pen
- iPhone
- Two batteries
- Two memory cards
- Wallet
The next step is to choose some limitations
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/30
Aperture: Any
Lets see if this work this weekend.
