Philosophy of Photography I: Gear Isn't Everything

Today, I'm going to chat a little bit about the philosophy of photography, and how its not just about the camera, its the person behind it. I also talk about capturing the moment, and how precious that really is. I don't want to go too into depth here, but I want to give a good introduction as to what I feel is important for people to understand.

There are a few examples in this video, but save for the introduction and those photos, its mostly audio and a black screen. I'm huge into the concept of visualizing ideas in order to process and make sense of them in your brain - hence, I've left out a visual aspect to some of this video in a way of encouraging you to THINK about what you're hearing.

As before, I appreciate the feedback, whether or not you like my concept of thinking through ideas rather than mindlessly staring at a screen. Thanks!

[Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii]

That was a very nice video but maybe next time you could have it just set on a picture instead of black background? Or maybe have it cycling through a series of the types of photos your describing.
