It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.
The thing is that when you don't carry a camera, that's when you see pictures in particular, or at least that's when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it.
I work primarily for the camera-it's not something I really talk about a lot, but it's part of the way I am as a movie actor. The camera is my girl, as it were.
I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got.
Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.
I like using snapshot cameras because they're idiot-proof. I have bad eyesight, and I'm no good at focusing big cameras.
Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.
When you're in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there's no difference.
I treat the camera like a person - I gaze into it. Photos are a flat thing, and you need to put life into them.
I wasn't interested in having to live with a camera - I have a hard enough time getting along with myself. I don't need cameras around and all that action.
