Finding a style not a camera – By Taylor Ervin

Of course we are all here because we love cameras. But after over a year and a half of shooting film seriously, I’ve come to the conclusion that the camera doesn’t matter. Ok it does matter a little bit, but any basic SLR or rangefinder and a solid 50mm lens will be enough to get a great shot in 99 percent of situations.So, I’m instead going to talk about how focusing on developing my technique and style has helped me to take better photos and to get more joy out of photography.
