Eight things we love about photography – Connection


Many times I’ve been asked some variation of this question: what’s the best kind of camera? The underlying inquiry is usually about Canons and Nikons, SLRs and point-and-shoots, or even digital and film. But the best answer I can give is much simpler than that. The best camera you can ever own is the one you have with you when you see something worth photographing.

Photography is a connection to the world around you. Photos are records of your presence in a particular place at a particular time. They represent a deliberate decision to be part of life rather than living entirely inside your own head or burying yourself in email and texts. You have to go somewhere. You have to do something.
