“I spent some time pondering what I could add to the equipment mix to make…photography more interesting…” ~ written by a blithering idiot (picture making wise)
“I discovered that this camera was the technical means in photography of communicating what the world looks like in a state of heightened awareness. And it’s that awareness of really looking at the everyday world with clear and focused attention that I’m interested in. “ ~ Stephen Shore
It can be written, without a zot of doubt, that a picture maker who thinks that adding to his/her equipment mix will make photography more interesting, has less than a snowball’s chance in hell of seeing what the world looks like in a state of heightened awareness much less making a picture with clear and focused attention on the everyday world. Ditto the chances of finding and fostering a unique personal way of seeing, aka: a vision.
It has been said / written a zillions times that using the 1C/1L/1Y technique is the best way to find and foster a personal vision. People are probably sick to death of hearing it. However, truer words were never spoken / written inasmuch as, the more gear one totes around, the more crap there is to get in the way of seeing…
…iMo (and that of many others), there is nothing more liberating, picture making wise, than finding and using the 1 camera with the 1 lens which faithfully effortlessly records the manner in which one sees the world.
