Chongqing was only meant to be a brief stop to ease me into a two-week journey in the mountains of Guizhou. Instead, it became my first real introduction to the warmth and hospitality of the mainlanders, and a glimpse of what awaited me during my time there and the trips to China that followed. As I begin working through my archive from that period, I find myself reliving these moments and encounters.

Introducing the new @leicauk M EV1 — Leica’s first M camera with a built-in EVF. I was fortunate to be among the first to test it in Piedmont, Italy last month with the Leica family. As a Q and SL user, it was a joy to explore a range of M lenses on this beautiful trip.

For Alixe Lay, the Leica ZM 12 is a reminder that time doesn’t just pass - it lives within us.⁣ ⁣ Its design reflects the quiet markers of time: weathered walls, shifting light, fleeting shadows - echoed in the dual-layered dial, where light transforms seamlessly into shadow.⁣ ⁣ #LeicaWatch #Leica #leicazm12 #zm12 #everysecondisafirst #ItsAboutTime #🔴⌚⁣⁣
