Irreplaceable?
Photography has taken over a large part of my life. And I am beginning to ask myself whether or not its has become an irreplaceable part. If it has, I need to monitor this and treat it like an addiction. The adjective 'irreplaceable' contains even more dimensions. As an individual, I am irreplaceable, but in terms of social functions I certainly am replaceable. My camera gear is replaceable too and I have just sold all my Sony components - not because those were not good enough, in fact my equipment was very good, but I wanted to stick to manual photography and the camera types I wish to use for that are Fuji and Leica. Some older and manual-only lenses are preferred therefore. This shot I did with the tiny 7Artisans 35/1.2 lens (mounted on a Fuji X-Pro1). Rather soft at F1.2, it is very capable, as here, at F2.8. All this is replaceable. I think I could even replace my facial expression.
