I hadn't seen my camera for weeks. It's been packed away, with all my studio stuff and sent to the basement. It was in one final box I opened just yesterday. I looked at it, feeling guilty. I've been taking photos daily, as I do and always have and forever will... but I've been taking them only with my phone, which takes a nice shot, but isn't nearly as challenging as my real camera. I've been real camera lazy.
Now that my camera is out of the box I had so carelessly stuffed it in, I am charging the battery and putting down the Iphone camera ( well, putting it down a lot, but still using Instagram of course) It's time to step back from the world of Iphones and filters and apps that beautifully and easily transform your photos without much thought.... and getting back to the the focus and attention that a camera asks of me. I'm not a photographer by any means, in fact I am still just getting to know my camera and all it's value... but the satisfaction in a good snap is worth all the work.
In the meantime, here are a few photos I've taken with my Iphone... it's still my eye, just a different lens.
