When a dream comes true — See That Shot

This was Friday the 13th when everything started... This may sound like the opening line of a scary story, but it's actually the one of my dream-come-true story.

I just came back from work Friday night when I decided to go browsing B&H, Adorama, and Pictureline... nothing much in mind, just looking, just dreaming in front of the LEICA products, as usual... And as usual, I tried to convince myself about the illusory non-superiority of these cameras before I closed my laptop and came back to earth.

But this day was special; a few minutes later I took back the computer and went on Craigslist, again, just looking... Yeah right... just hoping is more appropriate! In the Search box, I typed "Leica", and pressed Return... and here it was! Waiting just for me... A like-new pre-owned Leica M6 in my price range!

I directly contacted the seller, a very welcoming pro photographer who recently went to digital, in order to schedule a meeting, which happened this morning under the Brooklyn rain... And Yes! I bought my first Leica Camera!

Then, very intimidated by the camera itself, I faced a very concerning dilemma: "What picture will be good enough to be my first Leica-taken picture?", but this will be for another post...
