Journals E26- Using a point n shoot when feeling Blah! XF10 and X-E4, 27mm2 8

Hey everyone. I hope all is well with you all. Today's episode is a quick one. I went back to Milan and wasn't really feeling it. Whenever I feel blah like that, I just point n shoot. Usually with my XF10. There's days when I crave the experience of bringing a camera's viewfinder to my eye and then there's days when a point n shoot is perfect for me. I think it allows me to quickly shoot without the feeling of shooting and while that may sound like a bad thing, when ever I don't want to feel like a photographer or I feel burnt out with my own photography or with life, documenting the day without feeling like a photographer is actually quite a good thing. It's the type of practice that keeps me shooting while going through creative ruts or dry spells. For me, I happen to use the XF10 cause it's the point n shoot I have access to and one with which I've established a connection with, but it doesn't have to be an XF10, it can be any other camera. One that you connect with. Or even one that you don't connect with but that allows you to make photographs when you're not feeling like a photographer or don't want to feel like a photographer. Anyways, that was the takeaway for me at least.

Take care and I'll see you all in the next one.
