My best friend goes over to his mother’s place every now and again to help with cleaning and so much more. His father passed away a little while, and the family ends up giving me some of the stuff that they’re working on decluttering. Amongst a collection of watches his mother gave me, I was also given an older Nikon D40. After buying new batteries for it, I realized what I’d been missing. For a while, I’ve been saying that photographers are leaning more into capturing than creating. My paramount point here is that I feel like all the decisions are being made for us by cameras, and we, as photographers, are simply choosing to go along with them. This is part of what it’s like to use mirrorless cameras — but not really the case with DSLRs.
