I had to spend 3 weeks in the Swiss Army this autumn. It’s always depressing and make absolutely no sense in my eyes… so I took the chance to bring my Leica MP with me, and shot some frames in “safe” situations. It’s strictly forbidden taking pictures during these 3 weeks time!
The weather has been a real pity… rain, snow and cold feet! Every day we had to walk up the hill to train our shooting skills… this time the weather changed from bad to very bad, this day had a mystical and beautiful mood! I walked at the end of the whole group to take this shot…
Leica MP, M-Rokkor 28mm, Fomapan 400
Why I use a Leica:
I practice photography since 2004, since 2006 I self develop my films and print the best frames in my own darkroom. Black and white is my favourite media. I work as an architect and spend nearly all of my little free time with photography. Last year I had the chance to buy a close to new LEICA MP, which was the best decision I could made! Love it’s compactness, build quality and not at least it’s beautiful design…
