My father gave me a used Pentax K1000 film camera when I was 15. I’ve had many cameras over the years but I’ve learned it’s the photographers eye, not the instrument that separates a picture from a piece of art. I thought when digital cameras arrived it was the end for artists. Turns out there’s just a lot more boring photos out there. It’s clear when there’s heart in a photograph because it makes you feel something. I still have that first roll of film I took with my K1000. I just wish my dad was still around so I could take his portrait and put my heart into it.
