Funny quote
“Shooting the Leica is like going out with Pamela Anderson. The camera keeps saying you can make me clean, cook, raise the kids, but I won’t be very good at it. Though, if you let me do what I’m good at you’ll be very happy.”
— James Russell (from Leica M8 Revisited)
Even if you are not into photography or Leica’s you gotta give him props for that quote.
