A camera is just a tool, a piece of equipment, an inanimate object which only has the purpose to serve its owner. Still, it is possible that a piece of equipment has the power to entail such intricate feelings of serenity and craftsmanship that it provokes an intrisic motivation to produce results with the same qualities as the tool itself. You might think I am too sentimental about a camera but I view it as being able to connect with a piece of history and using that to enrich your own world.
