I wanted to go through the process/experience to, on one level,
practice my craft but on another level to prove that a 56 year old
photographer could bring a relevant vision to bear in the service of
someone half his age. In effect I was trying to prove my own relevance
to myself.
Hmmm.
People think I change gear because I'm in love with the gear. I really
change it because the only way to stay fresh and relevant to yourself
and the process is to keep growing and keep questioning.
Well, I guess it's cheaper than buying a sports car and marrying a
trophy wife.
I won't say he's completely wrong or that he's some kind of idiot. He's
obviously been at it far longer than I have. But, personally, I find
paying for whatever gear I get to be all the challenge I need.

"The brain stays flexible as long as you challenge it. I can think of
nothing less challenging than to use the same tools to do the same
craft over and over again in the same way."
