Update

Ok, so this week in photography, I was inspired by 2 photographers who don't use digital cameras. These two people, both interesting enough, live in America and are pretty well known, yet I had no idea who they were until I was told about them.

The first would be Hiroshi Sugimoto, which you can read more about on this website or wikipedia,

And secondly Erik Kim

I have been inspired by them to use not only digital photography but also film or 'analogue' photography.
The quote by Hiroshi ' I(we) are living in the last ages of true photography'.
What this means is that since the advancement of technology, cameras have evolved so much that we are able to add and subtract information from the photograph using softwares like Photoshop and LightRoom.

This has inspired me to keep the 'traditional' side of photography alive by starting film photography.

I have planned to buy a Leica (maybe a M3) - maybe you could give me tips,

I hope you took something from that and be sure to have a look at the photographers linked
