Figments from the Real World.

good to see that my first roll of leica pictures turns out great ....what a feeling ..... i went to take more photographs today around kl ....train station...national mosque etc.....but the feeling of taking an extra care about the camera so much ...until i cant really focus on my subject matter...lol ....but after reading this article.... I'm kinda in a different mood now ....I'm up for a another roll of black and white tomorrow ...its good to take photographs today ..since kl city has been really empty ....not many cars ..and not many people around ...tourist ruled the city today ...

from cameraquest.com:

"This camera is a one of a kind in the entire universe. It is the last M4 owned by famous Leica photographer Garry Winogrand. As you can see, it is slightly used. I understand he took pictures, lots and lots of them. I am told Mrs. Winogrand had very strong feelings that her husband's camera should be continued to used after his death. She sold it to a family friend, who continues to shoot it to this day. Look at the front and back of the advance side top plate, where the chrome is worn away by the grip of Winogrand's index and thumb. hmm. I get the impression he liked this camera, but he liked shooting pics even more.OK collectors, sit down and take a deep breath before reading this. Before Winogrand's M4 was loaned to me to photograph, the present owner was actually walking around taking pics, mounting a 50/1 Noctilux. True story, believe it or not. Some people wouldn't know a collectible if it bit them on their Dektol. I've never seen the image of film worn into a pressure plate before, he may have used it too much......nah..."

Garry Winogrand is one of the greatest photographer.....for the past couple of month.... i've been reading about B&W photography.......(ANALOG B&W PHOTOGRAPHY not DIGITAL B&W PHOTOGRAPHY ) ...he is one of the best ever lived....

his famous book "Figments from the Real World."....just plain genius....
