What's the appeal of this photo do you think that made the editor to choose it for promoting an exhibition?
>>4475178you people are so autistic and salty I swear. Leica is Leica, and your seething will never change that.
>>4475178>(((Meyerowitz)))Holy shit, I thought it was just another (((Winogrand))) worshiper but it's also another one of the tribe. Unbelievable that this slop gets promoted but I guess putting the limelight on some garbage like this is enough to trick no-talent snapshitters into thinking their work (for that's what they call their photos) is worthy of consideration.
Imagine being a Leica salesman at an expo and having to be all like "damn, Joel Meyerowitz, you fuckin' genius, all talented with your random shot of nobodies doing nothing in NY streets where you couldn't even get a photo where they're not blinking. I would totally award you a prize for photography" when all you want to do is talk to Arri girls instead. Like seriously imagine having to be that guy and not only stand in that booth while Joel's forgettable pictures are flaunted in front of you, the white frames barely concealing their lack of meaning, and just stand there, NPC after NPC , hour after hour, while they perfect the con. Not only having to tolerate the dull fucking visage but their smug attitude as everyone near the booth says Joel STILL GOT IT and DAMN, JOEL MEYEROWITZ'S PHOTOS LOOK LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and stare at his soulless fucking random pics transform into types of boredom you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been absorbing nothing but a healthy diet of landscapes and tableaux and later alleged staged assassination attempts for your ENTIRE CAREER. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the latkes that were eaten in that meeting where they decided how much they'd pay their fellow Jew as they spinned that dreidel, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "quirky (for that is what they call those snapshits)" photos, the photos he worked so hard to promote with jews the previous months. And then the CMO calls for another expo, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're a fucking BA. You're not going to lose your future Leica career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it
>>4475189>>4475190I see this thread has been taken care of.
>>4475190Imagine being schizo enough to type this out
>>4475178You’d have to be a jew to understandThis is their version of starving thirdie photography>ha, look. goyim exist. they didnt even notice the camera lol.
>>4475192You don't like story time?
>>4475192Imagine being enough of a redditor tourist to not recognize it
>>4475197Imagine still posting like a schizo knowing you're one of the least liked person on the board
>>4475199>being liked by npcs
>>4475190>and now you swear you can taste the latkes that were eaten in that meeting where they decided how much they'd pay their fellow Jew as they spinned that dreidelDo you like Phil Collins?
>>4475200>I comment and make posts for NPCsThat makes it better?
>>4475199I don't consider redditor tourists like yourself to be a real part of the board, you're more like parasites. You don't know 4chan culture, you don't interact with other 4chan boards, you're only here to fish for upboat substitutes in the shape of sycophant (You)s.>>4475201I've been a big Genesis fan since '80 :^)
>>4475202People who notice lose NPC status and become unlockable player characters.
>>4475205Based
>>4475178editor and photog are both jewish and related over 3 cousins
>>4475190based. i hope the day comes when we can fire up the ovens again
>>4475178Fucking hell this is such a shitty photo.Nothing interesting in frame, boring SOOC colours, all subjects look like they'd rather be anywhere else. You can feel the contempt that the dude in the Barbour jacket feels.Street can be done well, if you've actually gone through one of Cartier-Bresson's photobooks you can see that, but this is the kind of photo that makes me want to dismiss the entire genre. I actually went to a Leica Gallery in Amsterdam about a month ago, there was an exhibit celebrating 750 years of the cities history, and all of the photos were random street snapshits. On a few you could even see the jpeg artifacts on the print.
>>4475265>You can feel the contempt that the dude in the Barbour jacket feels.You mean Mr. Gucci Loafers aka Mr. Park Avenue Manicure? The city slicker?
>>4475267>fancy German car on the left
I like the photos were people are just meant to show them in relation to something the photographer thinks is neat, be it spicy light or architecture etc. Just capturing people's expressions is a cheap way of getting a reaction. The photo in my opinion is boring and lacks creative intent. It is just a snapshit.
>>4475270kek
>>4475271You could just have said it's jewish
>>4475275Literally this.
>>4475265>On a few you could even see the jpeg artifacts on the print.that's called sensor character
>>4475280>it's not a bug, it's a feature!
>>4475178You know, sometimes I feel like I suck at this whole photography thing.Then I see the output from leicafags and then just carry on
>>4475204You're the same. I've been using 4chan for nearly 20 years and your kind have only shown up in the last 9 or so.4chan was always home to weirdos, nerds, autists, but back in the 2000s these kinds of people were mostly chill and genuinely passionate and/or intelligent.Your breed of hateful pedantic autists is newer. You cant stand the idea that anyone is better than you at anything so you just hate constantly.You'll do anything to appear smart, anything to win an argument, even if it means playing dumb and once again, being overly pedantic.There are people like you on EVERY interest board these days. Its sad.
>>4475345>I've been using 4chan for nearly 20 yearsYou're clearly a liar or never ventured outside of /p/. Here's a hint on what you failed to identify: John Carpenter's Halloween.
>>4475347>You're clearly a liar or never ventured outside of /p/.Most of my time on this site has been on /a/ and /b/. In the past 10 or so years I've used /r9k/ a lot too since /b/ got ruined post-2016.I don't really spend much time in the interest boards, except anime and video games I guess. But I stopped using /v/ years ago too.I only started using /p/ 12 months ago when I first got into photography, well, at least since I took a photography class freshman year of High School.
>>4475349So the only interesting board you've used is /p/? No wonder you know nothing. Even /n/ is preferable to all the others you mentioned and it's a shithole. Maybe /r9k/ is passable.
>>4475351>Maybe /r9k/ is passable.It's weird that you have this take. /r9k/ isn't even an old board.Also, I can tell you're newer because you're shitting on /a/... This is an anime website. /b/ you can have your opinion on I guess, but it was a much different place 15 years ago.
>>4475345This talentless jew ISNT better than anyone at anythingWhat actually changed is people are now more aware of this nepotism. And this nepotism has only grown. And grown dramatically. Its not the people, idiot. Its a reaction to the way the world actually is. Why is everyone racist now? Because of replacement migration. Why is every antisemitic now? Well, nepotism like this is now 100x more common to keep the line going up, and try turning on the news. Jews shooting civilians and kids in the neck has been a daily thing for the past 2 years and american officials finally admitted they serve AIPAC.
>>4475354>Also, I can tell you're newer because you're shitting on /a/... This is an anime website.It *started* as an anime website. Most people don't come to 4chan for anime but for the anonymity, and have done so for decades now. The narrative that 4chan is an anime website is only pushed by otakus mad at the pushback./r9k/ is not one of the original boards but has a long history dating back to 2008 with some deletions in the middle. >/b/ you can have your opinion on I guess, but it was a much different place 15 years ago.Yeah, porn GIF spam and the likes, such great culture. And going further back even CP. I can see why an otaku loser misses those days.
>>4475360>Why is everyone racist now? Because of replacement migration.Not only that but the shutdown of the Community Relations Service allowing the once censored truth to come out
>>4475361>Most people don't come to 4chan for anime but for the anonymity, and have done so for decades nowAh, so you are nothing more than a tourist.
>>4475379You're the one who's out of tune with the 4chan cultural landscape, otakunigger.
>>4475204>I don't consider redditor tourists like yourself to be a real part of the boardlol, I've been an active user since 2007ishActive on /p/ starting back in '09 and still sometimes post old shit like Photoshop(C)'s tutorials, I met up with 5hoe irl, etcI dropped off /p/ 2014ish, and popped back every now and then until 2021 then been pretty regular again
>>4475361>Yeah, porn GIF spam and the likes, such great cultureShame you never actually got to experience old /b/ newfriend
>>4475406Classic /b/ was a smattering of random bullshit in the best of ways. The fact that it devolved into the cesspool it currently is and has been for the last decade is a tragedy, but reflects the new community. Newfags are porn obscessed cucks, go figure.
>>4475178Hey everyone, we're Leica! The most circlejerk pretentious camera company around.You've probably heard of us from your rich white friend who doesn't actually know how cameras work!Today we're going to show off this horribly shitty street photograph! Do you like it?This is the power of a Leica! Please pay thousands of dollars for our shitty behind the times cameras!
>>4475178It is nepotism but also an ad, showing mundane snapshits to demonstrate that you can take a leica anywhere and no one will notice or give a fuckYou can also do this with a sony a7c, fuji xe5, fucking anything rectangular, just keep your lens under two inches and no wider than the mount
>>4475423>Muh artisinal hand-jerked kamera brand>No we don't believe in Autofocus that would increase the price delta by 3x>German cameras are like Australian houses: You buy one to park your money until the next biggest retard decides to buy
Booba
>>4475432>no one will notice or give a fuckThe city slicker looks full of contempt. It's there to show that with a Leica, even the worthless snapshits you already take on a daily basis are exhibition-worthy art. A despicable psyop.
>>4475406That was the old /b/, plus pedos.
>>4475423lmao suck it poor fag I have one digital, one 35mm. Enjoy fapping to MTF charts between TT artisan and Viltrox lenses
>>4475483Ok but what does a Leica do that other cameras dont? Please explain why Leica is a good brand outside of its status.>Enjoy fapping to MTF charts between TT artisan and Viltrox lensesI genuinely have no idea what you're talking about here. But I use an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic II as my main camera.Why should I care about buying a Leica when I already have a fine film camera? Genuinely curious.
>>4475435Leica fans in Photography remind me of Apple fans in Computers.They dont actually care about the hobby, they dont know how their tech actually works, and they pay a premium for mediocre equipment because of a logo.Lmao, these people are so weird to me.
>>4475552LEICATODDLERS BTFO
>>4475552One great example of this is the last L-mount aps-c camera. The Leica CL. People still pay $2k for that thing which is close to a decade old and has no IBIS. There is absolutely no feature in it that sets it apart except being extremely uncomfortable to handle.
>>4475559>cuckime
>>44751785/5 great capture would look again!
I genuinely cannot imagine being retarded enough to buy a digital Leica, or one of their newer analog models.It's well known that the newer cameras do not stack up at all compared to the ones built in the 60s to 80s. And with digital cameras, once those electronic components fail and the spare parts dry up it's over, no one will ever be able to repair your brick.If you want a Leica get an M3, M2 or M4. M6 is overhyped, has a light meter which will one day fail, and the top plate is guaranteed to eventually start corroding.
>>4475754>I genuinely cannot imagine being retarded enough to buy a post-Chrysler Benz car, or one of their newer G-Wagen models.>It's well known that the newer Benzes do not stack up at all compared to the ones built in the 60s to early 90s.>And with ECU-based cars, once those electronic components fail and the spare parts dry up it's over, no one will ever be able to resurrect your fancy German car.>If you want a Benz get a diesel W115, W116, W123, W126, W124, W201 or W140. W220 is overhyped, has a computer which will one day fail, and the frame is guaranteed to not provide the safety of the W140. This is how you sound, if your arguments were valid. Guess what, should the light meter on the M6 fail you can always put a tumor on it like you have to do by default on the M3
>>4475754>camera break, just use a pen and paper
>>4475755That’s a legitimately good point about Mercedes though Diesel w123/w124 are possibly the best cars ever made, certainly the best Mercedes apart from ultra-performance stuff that isn’t really judged by normal standards
>>4475782That's why I said "if your arguments were valid" kek
>cANON is a diesel merc shillI can imagine him squatting on the hood of a 300SD drinking vodka in his adidas tracksuit
>>4475795Honestly if I were a paranoid schizophrenic I'd probably drive an all mechanical diesel too in case there's an EMP or some shit.
