[Leica] Photos, both foreign and domestic

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

The first one is my pick!

We literally have a camera with us for all our waking hours nowadays -
whether it be a smartphone, iPad, or other gizmos of that ilk. I think the
output is also better than what I started out with over 60 years ago, and
technology makes sharing it effortless. What is not to like?

Cheers
