Leica Prague

anton_corbijn_werkLeica UK invited editors to Prague. We stopped at the Linch Hotel Paris and ate in the Linch Lvi Dvur restaurant.

One of the events was an evening at the exhibition WERK by Anton Corbijn. He was a photography hero of mine. I got to meet him and thought he was arrogant and wished I’d not met him.
