As we gain more access to perfect imagery, it’s even more tempting to be biased of what deserves appreciation. For that reason, learning to recognize when to look at things a little deeper is very important these days. So my purpose with this post is to share why I’m veering my attention from photographic technology.

The camera can fool you or wrap you in a bubble, whether it’s in a technical bubble or a subliminal bubble. So for me, the sooner I get over its hype, the sooner I’ll see the camera as a tool and start taking pictures.

The more time I spent into practicing photography, the more I convince myself that a lot of what’s said and published goes in circles, like a winding spiral without end. With so many photography products available, it’s inevitable to lose passion for something as fun as working with a camera.

Recognizing limitations help me understand my boundaries, and that in turn pushes me to think. I also think that the magic is gone when photography is limiting to the push of a button. Besides, becoming more familiar with how my camera works makes me more excited when I get unexpected results. Obviously, my views are from someone who approaches photography as a creative practice. I’m sure they would be different if photography were my business, or perhaps not that different?
