Default Famous Singer Has 100+ Camera Collection
In one of today's newspapers there is a feature on singer Seal listing the ten things he can't do without.

One of the items is a Leica M3 which he says he takes everywhere with him. He also says he is into photography and has more than 100 cameras.

I like Seal; any of his personal photography published or what genres of photography he likes?

Seal is a Leica ambassador. He gets his new Leicas for free.

Is the article available on-line so that others may be able to read it?

Singers-Brian May of Queen does the stereoscopic thing. I don't remember if he just collects the stereoscopes, or has the cameras as well. There was something on the radio some time back.

A few months ago Seal gave away a Leica M9 via a competition on the website stevehuffphoto.com - he had upgraded to a Titanium version so didn't need the original .... Pity it was a digital model though !

I'm not sure if he photographs in stereo himself. He recently had an exhibition at Dimbola Lodge near me (Julia Margaret Cameron's former home) and displayed collected images which could be viewed on viewers which he designed and had made.
