Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.
Only a vision - that is what one must have.
Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned.
The most important lens you have is your legs
Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
