A pristine copy of Robert Frank's "The Americans." I'm guessing that's a 2008 edition. My 43yr. old(printed, and bought in 1978) copy is a bit yellow and dark but still a pleasure to leaf through....

Our different takes on ‘improvisation’ has set us apart. I know what your meaning is; https://youtu.be/fwkvC2FT7Xs Still, I don’t get how that playing is analogous to street photo. Sure, we ...

Yep, and Delta blues, and blues in general. All started by African Americans. Even Bill Monroe gave credit to blacks for the beginnings of bluegrass. Hip Hop too, I think.

Well Sam, if you consider street to be methodically similar to improv, then I have plenty of experience. I have also played music. There are some in the art world who believe successful street to ...

Creativity, whether in music, painting or poetry is not static, but dynamic. Meaning it is both deliberate and improvisational, spontaneous or incremental. Obviously music works with time, while ...

Only if you think of 'street photography' as the images you've seen but didn't make. All creativity is dependent on "spontaneous composition," which is actually spontaneous creativity, but yes, ...

Some prefer redheads, others blondes. Which is better is...who cares, only which excites us best. My Leica D-Lux 6 is a platinum blonde, and while her whispers are only tinsel, oy, I'm all ears. A ...

Bet your bottom dollar that as Leica leads, so will follow Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Nikon, Fujifilm, Et al.

I mean, just where are the Japanese camera makers taking their cue on how to...

Thanks, folks. Yeah, I’ve been around long enough to remember the slow demise of Minolta. Still, it’s a bit daunting to realize just how many lenses are manufactured world wide.

Question: Does Sony actually manufacture and design its lenses?

And what about Panasonic?

It is well known that Nikon has a glass factory, and maybe Canon does too. Considering that both Sony...

There is something about holding a Leica, even if it is just a cosmetic re-brand. I have the D-Lux 6 (nee Lumix LX 7,) and using it always gives me a slight rush.

Of course, the pricing of the...

Huh? Well, LOL! Let"s not shut down this thread so, as EOS GUY said, have a good day.

So the harassment from the guys 'provokes' the lady to be self-assured? You guys are lucky we're not on twitter or instagram.

It is not the image, but the title, and comments* including yours, that I question. *Interpretations.

And we wonder why there are so few women who post on DPReview. Clueless, much?

Provocative, or harassment? I'm not questioning the image itself, just the title.

Sony FINALLY fixed the viewfinder info lag, and it only costs $6500! Yay!

Impressive hardware to be sure, but still behind smartphone A.I. image processing.

OK, Sony FINALLY added lossless ARW compression. That's something, I guess.

While the fourth image is nice, my preference is for the third. The mist that softens the colors and isolates the trees gives the image a wonderful contemplative feel. Nicely done.

Yep, it has been a tough year, and as the saying goes, 'misery loves company,' yes, knowing we were all in did help.

Happy New Year DPReview folks, you've done a good job keeping the site going.
