Camera Fascination

À propos des appareils photographiques, Cédric écrit sur le sentiment de culpabilité et les discours de justification que cela peut provoquer :

We’re dishonest when we say gear doesn’t matter. What we mean is that gear won’t fix bad seeing, won’t teach you composition, won’t give you something to say. That’s true. But it’s also not the entire story. Cameras are mechanical objects that embody particular approaches to image-making. They represent specific moments in technological development. They have weight and texture and character. Some are beautiful. Some are ingenious. Some are terrible (Holga 120N anyone?). All of them are interesting if you care to look.
