![]() I realized about a year or two ago that I?ve gotten to the point in my life where I talk about photography an awful lot. And my advanced degree that allows me to teach this stuff is not in graphic design but in digital photography. I teach this stuff at a university and have been doing so for 12 years. I?m way more than a weekend warrior though too. I suspect you have similar feelings about photography, you wouldn?t be reading this if you didn?t. For lack of better terminology, it?s my passion. My core interests, however, are photographically based. By training, and most of my career, I?m a graphic designer. With that, I?ve never been a ?full-time? shooter either. I?ve never felt any hinderance because of my gear. The basic story here is that I?ve always had excellent gear with which to create my images. In 2007 I switched to the original 5D from a film camera and then the 6D then the 5D4. Then in 2003 I switched to Canon after soaking my F5 in an underwater housing in Hawaii. With that my days of using a small and classic-styled camera were over. After that camera broke, was repaired then lost by UPS, and then UPS replaced it with a new model, I sold it online before you sold things online. Then my car got broken into and the thieves stole the camera. I was borrowing it from my brother who bought it in Hong Kong when he was 15 and was visiting a friend that recently moved there (that was in the late 80s). The first camera I regularly shot was the Pentax P50 (P5 in the US). ![]() I?d been eying the Fujifilm for quite some time and decided to take the plunge. I needed something smaller and lighter for my increasing travel schedule as well. And I needed to change that, so I figured I?d shake things up by getting an X-T3 by Fujifilm. The ability to get out and shoot is limited. Whether it?s job responsibilities (I?m a university professor of design and photography) or family. Recently, my shooting experience has taken some hits. The entire experience is important to me, from shooting to optimizing the images in my post-processor of choice, though I do try and place more of an emphasis on the shooting side of things. What is it about photography that keeps us clicking the shutter and making images? For some, the act of shooting is paramount. ![]()
