The World Deserves Witnesses

A witness: someone who sees what the others simply watch. When Leica invented the first 35mm camera in 1914, this allowed people to share their stories and the world around them. Today, as for more than a century, Leica keeps celebrating these witnesses. These are the ones who see everyday beauty, grace and poetry, and the never-ending irony and drama of our human condition, bringing their cameras to the eye in order to frame moments forever.
