✦ Refrakt: 19 — New Senses
This week, I finally finished up what might be the longest post on Monochromatic yet, my five-year review of the Fujifilm X-Pro3. It’s a piece I’ve been working on for weeks, something of a rarity here, as I tend to try and get things out within a week. It’s a camera I know intimately well, and have spent thousands of hours using, so I guess the idea that the review itself runs long should be no surprise.
It’s about a camera, but it’s of course also about cameras. It’s about the process of making photos with a specific tool, but it blossomed into a large line of thinking about image-making in general. It got me thinking about what I look for in a camera, and what sort of shooting experience is conducive to good image-making.
This is Refrakt, a bi-weekly newsletter from Ian J. Battaglia on curiosity, creativity, and (hopefully!) insight, through the lens of photography, writing, study, art and beauty, and my life.
