There are a lot of questions this time, starting right off in the news section. We take a serious look at the supposed advantages of the new [Leica M10 Monochrom](https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/LEICA-M-MONOCHROM), a digital camera that can only shoot in black and white. ## Is it too easy to shoot models? Following the PetaPixel reposting of MissyMwac's [Tumbler think-piece about photographing models](https://missymwac.tumblr.com/post/190391721530/i-dont-want-to-photograph-models) (basically she prefers dealing with imprefections), Dan has some thoughts to get off his chest. Who's side will you come down on?

Believe us, this deate is going to run and run, but here we take our first swings. ## How Photographers Can Stay Fresh Some practical tips Dan has learend from day-to-day professional work to fight off burnout. # Blooper Was it even funny enough? Probably not!
