What's the appeal of this photo do you think that made the editor to choose it for promoting an exhibition?

you people are so autistic and salty I swear. Leica is Leica, and your seething will never change that.

>(((Meyerowitz))) Holy shit, I thought it was just another (((Winogrand))) worshiper but it's also another one of the tribe. Unbelievable that this slop gets promoted but I guess putting the limelight on some garbage like this is enough to trick no-talent snapshitters into thinking their work (for that's what they call their photos) is worthy of consideration.

Imagine being a Leica salesman at an expo and having to be all like "damn, Joel Meyerowitz, you fuckin' genius, all talented with your random shot of nobodies doing nothing in NY streets where you couldn't even get a photo where they're not blinking. I would totally award you a prize for photography" when all you want to do is talk to Arri girls instead. Like seriously imagine having to be that guy and not only stand in that booth while Joel's forgettable pictures are flaunted in front of you, the white frames barely concealing their lack of meaning, and just stand there, NPC after NPC , hour after hour, while they perfect the con. Not only having to tolerate the dull fucking visage but their smug attitude as everyone near the booth says Joel STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JOEL MEYEROWITZ'S PHOTOS LOOK LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and stare at his soulless fucking random pics transform into types of boredom you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been absorbing nothing but a healthy diet of landscapes and tableaux and later alleged staged assassination attempts for your ENTIRE CAREER. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the latkes that were eaten in that meeting where they decided how much they'd pay their fellow Jew as they spinned that dreidel, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "quirky (for that is what they call those snapshits)" photos, the photos he worked so hard to promote with jews the previous months. And then the CMO calls for another expo, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're a fucking BA. You're not going to lose your future Leica career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it

Fucking hell this is such a shitty photo. Nothing interesting in frame, boring SOOC colours, all subjects look like they'd rather be anywhere else. You can feel the contempt that the dude in the Barbour jacket feels. Street can be done well, if you've actually gone through one of Cartier-Bresson's photobooks you can see that, but this is the kind of photo that makes me want to dismiss the entire genre. I actually went to a Leica Gallery in Amsterdam about a month ago, there was an exhibit celebrating 750 years of the cities history, and all of the photos were random street snapshits. On a few you could even see the jpeg artifacts on the print.

I like the photos were people are just meant to show them in relation to something the photographer thinks is neat, be it spicy light or architecture etc. Just capturing people's expressions is a cheap way of getting a reaction. The photo in my opinion is boring and lacks creative intent. It is just a snapshit.

You know, sometimes I feel like I suck at this whole photography thing. Then I see the output from leicafags and then just carry on

Hey everyone, we're Leica! The most circlejerk pretentious camera company around. You've probably heard of us from your rich white friend who doesn't actually know how cameras work! Today we're going to show off this horribly shitty street photograph! Do you like it? This is the power of a Leica! Please pay thousands of dollars for our shitty behind the times cameras!

Anon10/17/25, 04:03No.4475432

It is nepotism but also an ad, showing mundane snapshits to demonstrate that you can take a leica anywhere and no one will notice or give a fuckYou can also do this with a sony a7c, fuji xe5, fucking anything rectangular, just keep your lens under two inches and no wider than the mount

5/5 great capture would look again!

I genuinely cannot imagine being retarded enough to buy a digital Leica, or one of their newer analog models. It's well known that the newer cameras do not stack up at all compared to the ones built in the 60s to 80s. And with digital cameras, once those electronic components fail and the spare parts dry up it's over, no one will ever be able to repair your brick. If you want a Leica get an M3, M2 or M4. M6 is overhyped, has a light meter which will one day fail, and the top plate is guaranteed to eventually start corroding.

I think the picture is quite interesting. How old is that woman? She could be 23 or 53. And why is everyone dressed like it's 1970 when the photo was clearly taken in the present day? When, in normal life, would you ever see a guy in the street carrying a smartphone in one hand and a fucking pen-and-paper notebook in the other hand?
