A ticket kiosk for sightseeing boats at the Market Square pier in Helsinki. The middle of a northern spring — still damp and misty, as the city waits for summer to begin.
I see this photograph very much in the spirit of the Leica M: honest, quiet, and attuned to the stillness of the moment.
I am experimenting, trying to understand what makes Leica M photographs so special. Photographs taken with the Leica M have a unique mood, thanks to their quietness and minimalism, heightening the photographer’s consciousness with each shot. The camera, requiring manual focus, captures an intimate connection with the world, creating a visual depth that, with the right approach, transforms into meaningful depth.
