Veni, Vidi, Vici

Veni, Vidi, Vici which translates to "I came, I saw, I conquered."

When it come to taking a photo, my own philosophy inspired by the above phrase is this:

1. Be there (at the scene)
   
2. Be there with a camera
   
3. Be there with a camera that works
   

So this pretty much summarizes my view about photography and priorities when come to choosing the right equipment. In other words, travel or explore as much as you can; while traveling or exploring, always keep a camera on you, and make sure it works to your standard.

The conclusion is simple, find a camera that you can keep on your as often as possible. Which means it has to be compact! ohm... A Leica Rangefinder does exactly that, and that is why I choose a Leica M, I guess.
