Sometimes I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking at in peoples’ photos cuz the shit is so far away. We wanna see those juicy details!! The first time I put a long lens on my camera I realized you don’t have to do very much or go very far to make the world look interesting. It’s like when you do shrooms and every little detail in your field of vision is its own universe. The 100mm is the perfect tool to explore those little universes. I know, I know, you could just use a 35mm lens and move closer to what you’re photographing. But it doesn’t look the same – the 100mm flattens space in a way that makes life look weird as hell. Believe me, that .5x button on the iPhone camera is burned into my muscle memory too, but next time, try reaching for the 2x – it’s a whole new world over there.
There was this beautiful moon that my mediocre phone camera failed to capture but my friend had a far better phone/camera. So, just thinking sometimes we have to look through someone else’s better lens to get a more accurate picture.
