Winter walks and the camera in your pocket

I like taking photos. Big, serious landscape photos with big, serious landscape cameras, film or digital. Lately, though, I’ve been rediscovering the joy of just taking a photo of what’s in front of me, with the camera I have on me - my phone. It takes a little effort to make sure you don’t look at anything else on there (and spoil the walk), but it’s also a refreshing way to get back to what carrying a small film camera was meant to be - the joy of making an image without thinking about it too much.

feel like phone photos feel so much less permanent than film or digicam, it almost orients photography to be a functional medium instead of an artistic one... my camera roll is mostly just photos of stuff i want to remember to buy, or text message attachments. if that's how your brain is conditioned to think about photography, muscle memory for photographing stuff that feels more... photo-worthy will atrophy i used to carry both a polaroid + 35mm camera with me every time i left the house but found myself struggling to actually use them for this reason; occasionally inspiration strikes when you see cool shit in your city or a beautiful sunset or whatever, but serendipity is notoriously unreliable i think that having a list of things you can condition yourself to photograph / be on the lookout for as you're out and about, like friends, landscapes, skylines, interiors, etc. has been a lot more helpful for me. go out with the express intention to photograph <thing> a couple of times. then, start bringing a small portable camera with you when you leave, and the cue-craving-action-reward cycle will eventually take over and you'll have more photos that feel special and worth showing to others

remember Palestine

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.
