Rediscovering the Frame

I used to carry a camera everywhere. Not a phone, but a proper, heavy, glass-filled brick of magnesium alloy.

Lately, I realized I’ve stopped. The act of capturing things “in the moment” faded away, replaced by the friction of hauling gear. I am not a photographer by trade, but I miss the byproduct of that observation: the ability to freeze a split second of light and time.

The Canon Legacy

We have always been a Canon family. From my father’s film SLRs in the 80s to my own journey through the digital revolution. Red rings and ultrasonic motors were just how photography was done.

But the world has changed. The mirror has slapped its last slap.

The Mirrorless Pivot

Physics is a harsh mistress, but technology is a great equalizer. The transition from DSLR to mirrorless isn’t just about weight—it’s about the philosophy of shooting.

I am finding myself drawn to Fujifilm. There is something about their color science and the tactile nature of their dials that feels less like operating a computer and more like painting with light. The X-Series brings back the joy of shooting without the spinal compression of a full-frame DSLR kit.

It is time to stop thinking about megapixels and start thinking about moments again.
