I love your paragraph about creativity, Instagram and travel hot spots! That's exactly what's on my mind. Everything is "tech" driven - fast AF, more pixel, sharper lens. People should go out, taken images if there is no tomorrow and be creative. You won't achieve the kind of quality as an amateur as professionals do. But that doesn't matter most of the time and great photos tell us stories. And maybe the viewer won't even notice or now the difference between a 5D, D800 or A7.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and images with us!
Thanks. I am glad you see it the same way. It has been driving me mad over on the other commercial platforms. The tech spiral seems out of control and people seem to have lost the fact that you have a camera to take photos; not to pixel peep at brick walls. Appreciate the detailed comment and support. Thanks again.
