Hi guys!
I would like to direct your attention to the relatively fresh website LeicaShots (http://leicashots.com)
Unlike Flickr or the LFI (Leica Fotografie International) Gallery, this is not a photo sharing website per se.
We present a new featured Leica photographer every day, and he or she showcases only one example of their work. It doesn't have to be their best photograph ever, buy perhaps one that means something special to them. This also makes for an interesting back story. Each photographer tells a little bit about the photo he/she submits, as well as telling us why they use a Leica. (And we do link to their Flickr photostream or personal website in case our visitors want to check out more of their work)
We started this site mainly because we love the "Leica look" and wanted to know what reasons amateurs and professionals alike would give, as to why they use Leica cameras and lenses - despite the fact that these cameras lack many "modern" technical features like auto focus and multiple PPS - as well as being rather expensive. Our featured photographers have given many interesting reasons as to why they're Leica shooters.
We've had much positive feedback so far, both from visitors and featured photographers. Many visitors say that the reasoning from our featured photographers has made them crave a Leica more than ever :)
Would be great if you could do a post on leicashots.com.
All the best,
Martin 'Marty' Buchman
