> when there is a right frame of mind then the camera at least contributes to a virtuous circle, if not acts as the source of it 100% this has been the case for me. I think the key is to not go looking for shots, but to immerse myself in the environment and then click the shutter button when something in the environment inspires me to do so. Sorry to hear about the stolen camera. This recently happened to me as well, and one of my top priorities right now is replacing it. Thankfully I have some backup options in the meantime. There’s definitely something completely different about shooting on a dedicated camera vs. the phone. Hope you’re able to get your hands on another camera soon. The used market on mpb/keh is really strong.
