In Kyoto I visited the Leica store-gallery (My Japanese freind Shinsuke told me about the place) They had a Marc Riboud exhibition of photos shot on the streets of Japan (there always seems to be a Japanese connection in Japanese galleries). The work was not that exciting for me thou there were a few photos I enjoyed. They had some wonderful Leica equipment on display, all the gear was on red velvet behind locked cabinets. Sad to see these wonderful tools not making photographs. Cameras and lens need to make photos, it is their destiny.
