[Leica] Barnack Award 2015 - Public Award - it looks like Leicaphotography

[Sonny Carter]

My thought about that is that Leica cameras do the bidding of their photographer.  The camera does nothing by itself.

Her set would have probably played well in Johnny Deadman's old Street Photography list, and that particular genre as a whole does not get many nods here on the LUG.

As Deadman said, and I'm so fond of quoting, "photography is just a higher form of pointing."

To which I might add, "you don't have to look.
