I’m really enjoying shooting with the Leica Q2 Monochrome. Although it’s a modern digital camera, it only takes black and white photos. There are no color filters on the sensor, which allows for greater sensitivity to light, more detail and a more subtle tonality.

And at the end of the day, there’s nothing like a nice hot cup of cocoa. Have two, or three, or five.
