Take a walk with Daido Moriyama. Discuss the compact camera.

“Photography is not about the camera. Of course we need the camera.”

I’ve dreamed of many cameras over the years. I’ve lost sleep thinking about cameras. I’ve used them, researched them, bought and sold cameras over the years. Sometimes I’ve spent more time looking at photos taken by this model or that lens than I have actually going out and enjoying the camera I have [no matter what it is].

I bought the Ricoh GXR because it shut [almost] all those dreams off. It shut off the research [some of it] and let me get back to shooting. I have fallen in love with the point and shoot mentality. Shoot from the hip or wherever works. Just step outside, go for a walk and see what happens.
