If money were no object, what would you do? What would you really do?
Alan Watts asked that in a lecture, illustrated a bit in this video.
I really do know what I would do. I really would go and photograph. And print. And keep doing it.
Why?
I never cared about the equipment. Really, no. I got started because of moonlight. And my first "real" camera is my Pentax 6x7. 90mm leaf shutter lens, and so many photographs with just that. Again and again. Even when my back was out and I couldn't stand up, I photographed my bedroom door knob. I had to do it. I absolutely had to make a photograph.
Breathing and photography. Quite similar for me.
