Fixating on photography gear takes us out of the current moment, and since the current moment is EVERYTHING in photography, this is a big problem.

I think there's a larger issue with our ability to be in the present moment at all. Ever. Let's talk about what we can do to be more tuned into the current moment while we're out taking photos. ⚙️ Photos taken with the Olympus Pen-EE3 using Ilford HP5 BnW Film ⚙️ Video shot with the Fujifilm X-H2s Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for the algo so I can reach a wider audience and spend more time making content like this for you! 📱 Follow along on IG: https://instagram.com/gunairy 📸 All my latest work: https://gunairy.com 🖼️ Snag my presets: https://shop.gunairy.com #mentalhealth #filmphotography #fujifilm #fujifilmxh2s CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - Gear Obsession is Killing Your Creativity 01:19 - The Larger (Real) Issue 03:03 - Talking About Gear Isn't "Bad" 03:28 - How to Stay in the Moment 06:09 - Closing Thoughts
