What's in a picture?
A picture's worth a thousand words. Concealed behind every gifted eyes, is a vision, an artist’s soul. Like the deafening silence in a vibrant dream, a gentle whisper from the heart. From the sea of thoughts under the sky of love, every picture tells a story with a different point of view.

I came *THIS* close to purchasing an old Canon F f/1.0 sometime ago; the bulk and the price tag scared me away. But now I know why I was *THAT* close.
It was Dr. Walter Mandler who started this all; He crafted more than 45 high performance lenses for Leica, including the one used to capture the image above — later replaced by the faster f/0.95 ASPH in 2008.
