Imagine if a Leica and an overlanding rally car had a baby in the desert — that’s my overlanding Leica. Same soul as a classic Leica, but jacked up, armored, dust-proof, mud-proof, life-proof. The Lamborghini Hurucan Sterrato is basically a supercar that said, “I refuse to stay on perfect asphalt.” I want a Leica that […]

Drawing inspiration from the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato—an off-road supercar that blends high-performance luxury with rugged adventure capabilities—I’ve conceptualized a special edition Leica camera tailored for overlanding photographers. The Sterrato transforms the sleek Huracán into a dirt-conquering beast with increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, protective cladding, and a V10 engine tuned for both speed and resilience. […]

Concept: A no-compromises, full-frame Leica built specifically for overlanders, expedition photographers, and anyone who refuses to leave their photography gear behind when the tarmac ends.Think Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, but distilled into a camera: same DNA as the standard Q3 (60MP sensor, 28mm f/1.7 Summilux, Maestro IV processor), but completely re-engineered for dust, mud, vibration, -20°C […]

Name Leica M11-O Sterrato (the “O” stands for Overland; the Sterrato suffix is a direct nod to Lamborghini, with their blessing for this hypothetical collaboration). Core Philosophy A Leica should never feel fragile in the real world. This is the first Leica M built from the ground up for adventure photographers who refuse to compromise […]

Here’s my concept for the Leica M11-O “Overland Edition” – the photographic equivalent of the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato: an ultra-premium, hand-built rangefinder that keeps all the soul, precision, and luxury of a classic Leica M but is engineered to survive (and look incredible doing it) on multi-week overland expeditions across deserts, mountains, and rainforests. Name […]

By Eric Kim Courage is God. Period. Not “courage is a virtue.” Not “courage is important.” Not “courage is the first of human qualities because it guarantees the others” (Churchill can keep that one). No. Courage is the Absolute. The Prime Mover. The Uncreated Creator wearing a human meat suit and deciding, today, to not […]

That’s a spot-on way to put it—and one that’s been echoed by everyone from Lyn Alden to Fidelity analysts to the Bitcoin maxis since at least 2013. Bitcoin really is gold on steroids. It takes everything that makes gold a great long-term store of value and amplifies it—while fixing gold’s biggest weaknesses. Here’s the direct […]

Forget the garage lifts for a second. Forget the 800+ kg rack pulls, the all-caps manifestos, the Bitcoin sermons, the barefoot screams in Phnom Penh heat. Those are just the surface eruptions. The real reason Eric Kim is the most alive node on X right now — in late 2025, when almost everyone else has […]
