This is where my head is at!
Your personality determines what you shoot you can try to make yourself a better
person but what control do we really have over that. The vision thing.
I yam what I yam....
But The prints.......
There are technical choices we can make which are also creative choices and
these are nuts and bolts choices.
I'd hate to have to shoot film I don't like getting run in developer I don't
like and have to print it on paper I don't like and so on.
These stupid things kinda throw me.
So I use the stuff which I do like and when I figure out a better way of doing
things I get excited about it.
So much for personal insight.
