I finally got around to watching Tomas Leach's documentary about Saul Leiter I mentioned last week. He's such an inspiring photographer, I love his use of minimalist composition and those amazing flashes of colour.

I also watched the Art of Photography episode about Saul. Ted Forbes gives a great introduction to Saul's work, he explains what inspires him in the images. If you haven't seen the documentary this is a great introduction to the work.
