Sometimes I read people say they don’t know what to take photos of

Despite my profile picture, you do not need a Leica. Nobody needs a Leica.
These photos were from my phone, which is much more capable than many cameras I have owned.
At some point you’ll come across a camera or camera system that really speaks to you, that helps you tell stories with images better. Mine is a Leica (but I dont need it).
You also don’t need some other hyped camera either.

@skinnylatte I originally thought when I got my driving licence I would also get either a DSLR or a better compact as I could visit all these places and take photos; but then realised that cars are hecking expensive to run which reduces any money I might have to spend on cameras (had to shell out > £300 for tyres recently) so tend to take more photos using my mobile phone (to be fair the Sony mobile phones do have decent cameras in them)

@vfrmedia I’m looking into getting a 4x5 camera when I get a car. We are very different. Ahahaha

@skinnylatte My view is that the only gear you need to do photography is a device that lets you control exposure time. Everything else is bonuses.

@skinnylatte it's all about the TLR tbh. pretty minimal equipment to worry about, very high quality images produced.

@diedofheartbreak @vfrmedia there’s a serviced one on Photrio that’s very nice. A bit more $ than on eBay, but it’s been fully serviced by mark hama

@skinnylatte True enough. But I'm at an age where I'm starting to think about experiences I want to have before the end. I came up with a list of three cameras I want to own and get to know: Hasselblad 500cm, Leica M3, and Deardorff 8x10. I have the Hasselblad. Leica is next.

@thereisnocat that’s different from. Someone starting out and just buying gear and not shooting
You develop a taste for the gear, but the gear doesn’t give you the taste

@KenSwe nice!

@skinnylatte Thank you for this reminder. I always feel like I shouldn't "waste" shots but then I never take them.
Damn imposter syndrome.Everything I saw at Maker Faire over the weekend was "fail to learn, learn to fail, then succeed" so I need to work to take that to heart.

@ScotttSee i would love to see your photos!

@skinnylatte I haven't been shooting much since I moved a couple years ago (lots of work work and home work
) but here are some from before-covid https://lychee.lastcallphotography.com/gallery -
@ScotttSee thank you! love the misfit cabaret photos in particular
