[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]It's always surprising to me that anyone thinks Leica cameras are not political tools. Leicas have always been used to take photos with a political purpose. I use my Leica cameras to make a difference in the world. Right now, I'm posting photos of Syrian children living in the towns that are being bombed by Turkey. I do that to raise awareness and funds for the schools that the children attend. I will always use my Leicas for political purposes and the day that they aren't will be dark indeed.
