    The Leica Conversations: Life In Monochrome By Kieron Long

    The Leica Conversations: Serendipity By Vineet Vohra

    Serendipity is simply unsheltered intention, sometimes we stumble upon an inconvenient truth and the universe looks suspicious as if it’s a fix. Serendipitous photos to me, sometimes poetic and at times mythical. It consists of various factors such as proximity, similarity, intuition, direction, and closure.
