Portfolios: Black Box Photo
"My early income came from photography and film
making until one day I decided to give it all
away (well, OK, to sell the expensive bits).
For almost 17 years after that I had and used
no camera of any sort, until around 1990 when
I bought an Olympus Infinity Stylus (mju:-I).
Even then, I shot only about a dozen rolls of
film over the next twelve years or so, until
2003, when I bought a point-and-shoot digital
camera to take over from the Stylus, using a
format with which I could feel less wasteful.
Unfortunately it was all down hill after that,
and the simple point-and-shoot was followed by
another, a little bit more sophisticated, then
another, and another.... until I now have one
unused film camera and four often-used digital
cameras, from the very simple to quite hi-tech.
These photos are taken with all four, pretty
much in random order, because making photographs
that say something to - at least - the photographer
is only incidentally related to the sophistication
of the equipment that s/he uses, and it's often
usefully less obtrusive to be seen as a tourist or
a snapshotter than it is to pose as A Photographer."
