Two Cameras: Two Uses

<p>James Tocchio on his view <a href="https://casualphotophile.com/2022/01/06/yes-the-camera-matters/">that the camera matters</a>:</p><blockquote>I’ve been missing that. All of that. And it’s really hit me this week that I’ve spent the past couple of years thinking that the camera didn’t matter anymore. But I think, maybe, that it matters more than ever.</blockquote><p>If I am honest, I’ve not yet worked out what all the words are, they seem jumbled and don’t really get to the point. Yet, the whole time reading I was thinking about my thoughts about my camera, so I guess that’s the point.</p><p>I have two, my A7c and my iPhone 13 Pro. After spending some time accepting that I need both in my life, they now serve entirely different uses for me. Neither is more important than the other, but I am glad I have both.</p><p>My smartphone needs to have a good camera to capture all of life's moments. My kids doing things I want to let others know about, or record a memory I want to look back on. Perhaps to show the world what I am up to and post a <a href="https://micro.gregmorris.co.uk">short post about it</a>. I often try to put come artistic flair on it, but more often than not they are candid, slightly blurry moments frozen in time.</p><p>My camera on the other hand is for expressing myself. Picking it up to do something, or go somewhere, I want to capture with my self-expression. Like painting a picture or making some music, this is my art. Granted I am still learning, but it's the way I want to express myself outside my blog and what I am dedicated to.</p>
