You have to wonder why it's important for me to go searching for my "Cameraman". By the age of eight, I’d accrued more passport stamps and booster shots than the average war correspondent...
The most important factor in deciding where to take my Leica Q3 on holiday is whether I can photograph interesting subjects near to my hotel. I hit the jackpot at a spot less than 10 km from Ephesus.
