“The Camera Doesn’t Matter!” 2011

I got lucky and timed it just right. His camera’s extremely powerful strobe went off at the exact same moment I pushed the button on my Leica. I sometimes wonder if my camera is capable enough when compared to the “Hasselblads” of the world, but this guy reminded me that it’s not the camera, but the man who makes the pictures!

Photographing NYC for 25 years, six of them while driving a New York City taxi. Trying very hard to capture the city as life unfolds, meaning I never stage any of my photos! Also I am a close confidant of the immortal Dave Beckerman, (quintessential NYC photographer) and owner of the first photography blog in the known universe. View all posts by Matt Weber

What are you kidding, you regularly kick my hasselblad ass with your little lightening fast leica. You don’t need no stikin’ hasselblad! Fucking amazing timing BTW.

OK Mike, maybe we should swap cameras for a year…Then you’ll be begging me to give you back your Scandinavian Thunder Clapper…
