來自形形式式的局限，唯有我們將之視為朋友而非敵人，才令它們與別不同。倫敦街頭攝影師 Alan Schaller 指出，在攝影配備、地點、主體上設置限制，能讓藝術家受益匪淺。作為數碼年代拍攝黑白照片的先驅，Alan Schaller 率先使用全新徠卡 M10 Monochrom 相機。
Limitations come in many forms. What makes all the difference, is if we can manage to turn them into our friends instead of seeing them as our enemies. To set limitations in gear, locations, subject and aesthetics can benefit an artist greatly, as street photographer Alan Schaller from London points out. Alan Schaller, an early adopter of black and white photography in the digital age, was among the first to get his hands on the new Leica M10 Monochrom.
