(Leica X1)
While this blog has not been updated as frequently, even worse, most posts are off-topic now. Life is full of surprising offshoots and sometimes eventful fluctuations, and I can't help touching on various things other than photography, just as I find fascinations in all manners of a thing by looking through a viewfinder which normal people may normally pass by without a cue.
Die-hard photographers could be quite abnormal at times.
I know, it may seem that photography is no longer the prima ballerina on stage, so to speak. Well, not really. I don't toy with as many cameras for tests as back in 2008, but in the last few years I have tried the Leica SL, M10 and the CL, among which the last one is all-in-all a design disaster (But no review posts - too busy to do that now). I haven't taken photos as often, yes. But I could just as well say that I am more refined in deciding when to press the shutter release or just being wise to cut spending on memory cards of a higher order in speed and capacity.

So, despite my cameras and I are aging, we still keep good company of one another on a daily basis. All are still working fine and no one has died. Apart from the several Leicas, I have tried other nice things in life including the Macs and recently BMWs. Material world.
However, the other bookend of the story is that, other than the Macs, I prefer my old cameras and riding a bike. Both are easier. Macs are just unbeatable. Pieces of art. Computers in the entirety of the sense.
Which brings us back to, you're getting this, I am sure, the Ricoh GR. This blog was born because of the Ricoh GRD / GX. The GR is still the prima ballerina on the stage of my heart. It plucks my heartstrings.
