Magnum photographer Jacob Aue Sobol test new Leica M Monochrom making 28,000 pictures

As a test of the new Leica M Monochrom digital black-and-white camera, Magnum photographer Jacob Aue Sobol made a trek from Moscow to Ulan Bator to Beijing in 28 days, often making more than 1,000 photographs each day for 28 days straight.

In this short video, he talks with Lens Culture founder Jim Casper about his adventures, and shares more than 30 of his top picks from that trip.

It was a trip I had always wanted to take; The legendary journey along the Trans Siberian Railway.
Denmark, my native country, you can cross in five hours by train, but in Russia the distances are huge. I was curious if the connection between people and places would feel different considering the fact that I would pass every tree, every house and every village on my way to Beijing.
