Ugh I can't stand to not have a camera around. I ditched my Leica M8 about 6 months ago when I got a job working with a fashion photographer in Los Angeles. I loved my M8, but figured I needed something a little more versatile for my work out there, so I picked up a Nikon D800. Brilliant camera. Amazing dynamic range. Huge resolution.
And hugely uninspiring. And just plain HUGE! I simply never wanted to have it with me. And for me, that's everything. Photography has been a journey and I feel like I'm coming around to what I feel passionate about - and that's documentary photography centering around people. I like to tell stories. I like for the world to have a chance to see things the way that I see them. Its a form of communication to me. The D800? It never spoke to me. Small cameras - we get each other. They allow me to blend in and just see.
Hopefully it'll be waiting for me at the office today. I'll have some images up tomorrow and I'll discuss how it feels to shoot this little guy. Can't wait!
