![]() For example, if I bring the Leica I will think to myself, “Damn, this thing is so heavy. I have to go back-and-forth between these options, which causes me unnecessary stress and hesitation when going out and shooting.Īnd of course when I leave the house, I will often regret having not bringing the other camera. The T3 is superbly compact and portable, but not as quick as the Leica. I think to myself: the Leica is good for doing almost everything, but is still a bit bulky and heavy. There will be days I’m dedicated to shooting 35mm, and I am not sure whether I should bring my Leica or Contax T3. ![]() It is also a good backup when I am traveling, in-case my Leica breaks on-the-road (knock on wood, hope this doesn’t happen).īut even having 2 choices in the 35mm film department is stressful. It is a lovely camera to take with me when I go to the supermarket, when I want something pocketable. It always stays on- and is married to my body.īut when I went to Japan a few years ago- I wanted something a little more compact (and also a 35mm focal length), so I picked up a Contax T3. I only own one lens (the Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron ASPH) - which is lovely I don’t have to worry about what lens to shoot with. My experience with the “one camera and one lens” philosophyįor the most of my photography, I use about 90% of my street photography with my Leica MP. ![]() This allows him to have more mental energy to focus on what is important - making big key decisions. Similarly, apparently Barack Obama only has 2 suit jackets (I think a black and a navy blue one). Therefore he could be focused on innovating ideas for Apple. This gave him less stress in the morning of worrying about what to wear. Steve Jobs famously only had one signature outfit or “uniform”: his black turtleneck sweater (he apparently had hundreds of them made), his blue jeans, and his white shoes. The same goes with clothing: if you ever stressed about what outfit to wear for the day, which sunglasses to wear, which shoes to wear, which jacket to wear (you also deal with the “tyranny of choice”). We live in an affluent and abundant society in which the stress we have isn’t from having too few cameras- but having too many cameras. It is truly the best way in my experience that reduces stress when it comes to dealing with the “tyranny of choice” that we have today. Now you know that on my blog I am a huge advocate for the “ one camera and one lens” philosophy. I tried to choose the “ideal” camera bag for my camera for the day. I have a ton of camera bags at home as well- and I spent the next few minutes trying to “re-arrange” my camera bag. I then settled on my Hasselblad, and then I thought to myself, “Shoot, which bag should I bring?” That moment of even having to think about what camera to bring with me caused a lot of stress. I then had that moment of hesitation and thought to myself, “Shoot, which camera should I bring out today?” ![]() The other day, I wanted to go out and shoot. This is what is sitting on my shelf at the moment (all the cameras I own): ![]() I currently have too many cameras in my house. It is definitely a “first world problem”. What happens when you have a diet too high in GAS (not all my cameras btw) ![]()
