But vanity and pride being what they are, I usually disregard his warning-in-disguise and start writing. And […]

For all those of you familiar with Faust and similar myths, whereby a man loses/sells his soul to the Devil, you know how hard it is to get it back, and it usually involves the love of a fair maiden. Like that is going to happen to a man of my age, girth, condition, vanity […]

This post comes inspired by the release of the Leica M10-D. The M10-D is essentially a M10-P (the one with a very quiet shutter) minus the rear LCD. Leica call it “digital body – analogue soul”. And, to make this even more obvious, the M10-D sports a very analogue-like lever for make-believe film transport. To […]
