Daily Practice makes Daily Practice by Ron Cowie

I’ve been a little stagnant in my photography and that is in part to me not using a camera on a daily basis. Perhaps you can identify.

Part of the issue with using big cameras is thinking that smaller cameras are somehow not as good. This thinking is similar to a painter of large canvases not using a sketchbook to practice the eye. Doesn’t make sense.

So, I’m developing a habit of keeping a small Sony a6000 with me wherever I go. I have it set on program and auto exposure. For me, it is a tool to record the interesting things I see. It blows off a little steam and frees up my imagination. Photography becomes less of an event and more of a practice. It’s easy to forget that.
