Thank you! I was in the middle of a big crowd, and I needed her to look at me, so I tried to catch her attention with signs and doing noises until the women on her side saw me and asked her to tell her to look at me. It was a funny situation

The camera no more takes a picture than the hammer builds a house.

Hahaha exactly!

Its not that it is overrated, is just that story is king. And you can do a good photo even with literally a box. Focus is part of it, same as composition, light and all photography components.

You are right, but mastering fundamentals can take your photos from just in focus, not shaky and a good enough exposure to a really good photo out of the camera without the need of lightroom or a fancy camera. Plus learning composition and training your eye are musts. Story is king in photography.

Its like everything, it only takes practice and learning, and the first step is having interest in it, and most importantly, photography is about sharing your perspective of the world. Tools are tools and thats it. Thanks for sharing!

And thats great! Great photos!

Exactly, I mean, cameras are great, but people are too concerned about that, we are missing the fundamentals. I guess is the consumerism trying to take control of arts.

“Based on social media” a lot of people brags about the camera they use, and are more focused on that than the art.

It is, I try to shoot hp5 and push +1 to get some contrast and when I shoot tri-x I do box speed, love its contrast.

Digital. But, to be honest, I edited it to simulate film. When I shoot film I use tri-x or hp5 usually.
