If you’ve known me for a while you’ve probably heard me bang on about the x100 series cameras from fuji. I’ve regretted selling my x100s for like the last 6 years.
Anyway, I bit the bullet and finally got my hands on the latest model in the series.
The thing I’m most excited about is the colours that come straight off the sensor from this bad boy.
To be able to dial in the look I want with film simulations and just upload jpegs straight from the camera makes me excited to no end. It takes all the annoying parts out of being a photographer and lets you focus on only the good bit - making cool photos.
So I imagine a lot of the photos that will end up on here will just be little in between moments of life that wouldn’t normally make the highlight reel.
And I can wait.
Because inevitably when you look back on your life or go through your mum and dad’s photo albums, it’s not the dolled up, super posed cheesy smiling pics that are the most fun to look at. It’s the little fragments of actual life - a shot that takes you to an actual place and moment in the history of you or your family.
“Hey wow, look at what our kitchen used to look like”
“I can’t believe I used to wear those pants”
“That was before we had kids”
As photographers, it is annoying sometimes to shoot on days off, or holidays and long weekend.
But it is our privilege and our honour to be filling the albums and preserving the memories of our loved ones.
