The tool in photography is not the camera, but the photographer. Eve Arnold

(About CONNECTION)

Photographic equipment is hugely overestimated in photography. Although it is nice to play around with the latest gear, this actually has not much to do with photography beyond the technical. No matter what camera you are using, your perception of what you see, your understanding of your subject and how you interpret it, is what counts. The visual translation of your interpretation into a photograph might depend on your equipment to a certain degree, but that is marginal in comparison with the input your very personal perception and impression of an experience has on your photography. Being connected does the magic, connected with yourself, with others, everything in the end. Your level of connectedness is of prime importance to this. It is mirrored in your photographs. There are many levels of interconnection and meaning to everything and I cannot recommend enough to dig as deep as you can! Your ability of doing this, however your way of doing it looks like, this is what will make your photography truly interesting and ideally timeless beautiful and meaningful. Start exploring this by digging deep within yourself - it might be enough to feel things, because your own photographs will make you understand, just keep open to it and you will surprise yourself ;)
