Sometimes I'm a whore. Sometimes I really get to be creative and cut loose. Sometimes I'm aghast at how my photos are used vis a vis layouts and such. Sometimes I work the same long hours I worked in newspaper. I'll admit, it gave me great background and experience and versatility. However, at the end of the day I'm able to live with myself a lot better than when I worked for the daily papers. And the Leica is my salvation for keeping my love of what I'm doing with my personal work. - -- Carl Socolow Sometimes the wrong thing is exactly the thing you should do.
