Legs & Hands: 30-Day Leica Challenge in Seeing Honestly
No edits.
No cropping.
Just one frame a day.
Last year, I gave myself a quiet challenge:
30 days. One photograph a day. Straight out of the Leica Q2.
No post-processing, no cropping, no second chances.
The only rules were presence, patience, and honesty.
I called it Legs & Hands; it is a meditation on the most human of forms. Hands that hold. Legs that walk. Movements that tell stories without words.
I wanted to photograph with full awareness.
To compose each frame so consciously that it needed nothing added, nothing removed.
No fixing. No filters. Just the truth, as it appeared in the light and through my lens.
Each image was shared publicly, as-is, every day.
No retouching. No reshaping. Only what I saw, and how I saw it.
Why I did it?
I wanted to train my eye and be more familiar with my new camera Leica, but more than that,
I tried to train my presence.
To slow down.
To see.
To make every click a decision, not a habit.
The Leica Q2 became my silent companion in this process: small, comfortable, light, intuitive, and of great quality.
It let me disappear into the world and look for gesture, story, soul, in the ordinary.
What came out of it
The result was a poetic series of minimal, intimate moments:
Elements, gestures, city corners, street textures, and strangers passing by.
Together, the images became a rhythm. A visual breath. A language made of motion and skin.
But more importantly, the challenge gave me something even more profound:
Trust in my Vision.
I remembered that I don't need to control everything to create something meaningful.
Sometimes, all it takes is one honest frame.
