One of the self-imposed questions that is central to my concept of what it is to exist is when it makes sense to buy a Leica. The question amuses me. I have multiple guides. I have resources, mostly a large team of experts keeping an eye on my decisions and helping me with my delusions. This includes all my friends and family. I cannot express in words the gratitude I have for all those at Hunt’s in Kenmore Square. The assistance and guidance and above all service are un-paralled. I simply cannot do without it.

I’d like to write more about photography but there is no time. I’ll try. These shots are all taken with a Canon Rebel 2000 using Phoenix 200 film. I’m not crazy about this film. It plays games. You have no idea what you are going to end up with. But the camera is probably THE best of the last modern Auto-focus 35mm film camera simply because of its weight and sleakness. Silver. It’s a pretty camera with all EF glass. Superior. The Nikon N80/90s are made like tanks and I have one but who needs that? Great camera. But I bought both so you don’t have to. I own a lot of cameras. I haven’t done a proper count but It has to be near 20 film cameras manufactured between 1969 and 2000 roughly. 3 Nikons, 1 Olympus, 3 Canons, 5 Contax (RTS, 167 MT, 139q, 137 MD, Aria), 3 Fujica, 3 Minoltas, 3 Yashicas, 1 Canon QL17III, [22]
