Chris Weeks is a freelance photographer in West USA, especially CA and Vegas (center of entertainment in US). Although he shoots all kind of photography, but his passion is in street photography and his tool for the job, Leica rangefinder.
Several years ago, he wrote about street photography and why using rangefinder are much better than DSLR cameras. When you read the e-book, keep in mind that when he wrote that, there is no full frame DSLR camera exist yet. DSLR technology is still not as good as these couple years.
