Showcasing my photographyFotográfiám bemutatása

For far too long, I was only using my phone to do photography. I was always showing my pictures, year after year, to my photographer friends, asking them what they thought about my photos. All of them said, "Get a camera." So I didn't.

Then, at one of my turning points, when I was quite fed up with social media and fantasizing about going back to a flip phone, my phone got stolen. I didn't have the courage to act, so life acted for me.

So I finally embraced it and went back to using a basic phone, therefore lacking a camera in my pocket. (Meanwhile, although the whole concept might seem like you're lacking a lot of things, I would advise everyone to try this experiment for at least a couple of months to see the quality changes in life.)

So I finally gave in and bought a beautiful camera that I love to this day, and all of the pictures I have uploaded here were taken with it, without any modification or editing. Just pure Fujifilm colour science and joy.

Túl hosszú időn keresztül csak a telefonomat használtam fotózásra. Évről évre mindig megmutattam a képeimet fotós barátaimnak, és megkérdeztem őket, mit gondolnak róluk. Mindannyian ugyanazt mondták: „Vegyél egy fényképezőgépet." Tehát nem vettem.

Aztán az egyik fordulópontomnál, amikor már igencsak elegem volt a közösségi médiából, és egyre többet fantáziáltam arról, hogy visszatérek egy nyomógombos telefonhoz, ellopták a telefonomat. Nem volt bátorságom lépni, így hát az élet lépett helyettem.

Végül elfogadtam a helyzetet, és visszatértem egy régi telefon használatához, így pedig nem volt többé fényképezőgép a zsebemben. (Bár az egész koncepció elsőre úgy tűnhet, mintha rengeteg dologról lemondanál, mindenkinek ajánlom, hogy próbálja ki ezt a kísérletet legalább néhány hónapra, és nézze meg, milyen minőségi változásokat hoz az életében.)

Így végül beadtam a derekam, és vettem egy gyönyörű fényképezőgépet, amit a mai napig imádok. Az összes kép, amit itt feltöltöttem, ezzel készült, mindenféle módosítás vagy szerkesztés nélkül. Csak a tiszta Fujifilm színvilág és az öröm.
