In 1975, I held my first camera, my father’s Minolta XE-1. He designated me as the family photographer. It was so awesome that Leica decided to make practically the same camera under the name R3 in 1976. Since then, the camera is like a wristwatch to me. I feel naked without my camera.

We're all connected. We just don't see it. There isn't an "öut there" and an "ïn here." Everything in the Universe is intertwined. It is just one energy field of beautiful colors for us to capture and for someone else to also appreciate.

"It can be a profound action, taking a photograph. It's a piece of realization. The preservation of a fleeting expression. A recording, even, of the precise moment the world changed.

But what if your camera's action is less than precise, less than perfectly responsive? The consequence could be profound, too. The moment could escape."
