First things first

Okay, so before I can start doing street (social) photography, I need a camera. I normally use DSLRs professionally, but a massive camera like this would just get too heavy to carry around town all day. My weapon of choice is the 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, a 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.

  1. Leica M8 (35mm Lens)

  2. Notebook & pen

  3. iPhone

  4. Two batteries

  5. Two memory cards

  6. Wallet

The next step is to set some limitations: ISO: 400, Shutter: 1/30, Aperture: Any. Let's see if this works this weekend." I've corrected the spelling, grammar, and punctuation in your text for clarity and readability.
