Well, I think the camera freedom is something that we've resisted for a long time and feels like probably the biggest stretch. But it has some huge benefits.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We had a script that was really solid and we knew how we were going to shoot and how the energy of it was going to go. So it gave us a lot of freedom to use the camera as a character.
One advantage of photography is that it's visual and can transcend language.
I love the luxury of the camera. The camera does so much for you. I like the secrets a camera can tell.
The possibility of being as free with the camera as we are with the pen is a fantastic prospect for the creative life of the 21st century.
Because it's free, easy to use, and high-quality, photography is now a fixture in our daily lives - something we take for granted.
To have an opportunity to get in front of a camera every single day is just priceless because it gets you closer and closer to being less self-consciousness in front of it and really being human and really making choices and standing by them.
How can we have our privacy? How can we have our independence now in these times with these cameras? Because I think privacy and our solitude is really important.
Photography forces one out into the world, interacting with people and the environment. It flexes all those right brain, spatially-adept muscles.
I have such freedom when I'm living through a mask, and by contrast, can feel very exposed when a camera is capturing my real face. Kind of like the difference between walking out your front door in a sweater and jeans or in a Speedo.
I've always been more of a camera hog than anything, and it's just another way to get it all out!
