Do Cameras Matter in 2025?
Yes, but not in the way you think:
A thought and a thank you for World Photography Day, 2025.
I asked myself, what keeps me reaching for a camera, even after all these years?’ It is not necessarily the technology but the way it shapes how I see. Sometimes it is the way our hands and bodies learn to move with these tools, sometimes it is the colours that carry mood rather than just accuracy. At other times, I think about the way it slips quietly into a moment without demanding attention. And not to forget the community of others who believe photography is more than technically perfect pixels.
On this World Photography Day, I am grateful for the reminder to slow down and truly see. To the makers of these cameras, Fujifilm, nearly thirteen years ago you reminded the world,
“We haven’t forgotten what this art form is meant to be.”
Thank you for keeping soul in the machine. Here’s to many more years of keeping the fire burning.
Happy World Photography Day
