Gray’s Anatomy – Wo ist mein Handy? – By Richard Gray
I hope this column doesn’t come across as too self-absorbed, but I will take the advice of someone on Twitter who recently said to me there was nothing wrong with celebrating one’s successes.

We believe that Streetmate will bring back photographic experience to people who enjoy making photos most of all. > In the early days Robert Capa would grab his Leica camera with 36 exposure film and think twice before shooting each photo. As a result he made some photographic masterpieces without editing and selecting favorites from three hundred photos. Think about it—masterpieces from 36 film roll without editing them even once.…
