I used to love photography. Started out with a canon 50d and loved that camera and took it everywhere we went. Got some amazing photos thoughtout my time with it and had a blast. Really got into photography from seeing people on social media and YouTube. Photography was a huge reason for us to go out and explore areas. Found out i was actually pretty good at photography. Switched to a few sony mirrorless cameras and it seemed since the switch I lost my spark with photography. Really hated the sony platform and the camera was really small feeling in my hands (a6000). Recently sold all my sony gear and thinking going back to canon. I even have a samsung s22 ultra phone for the camera ability and only use it here and there for quick shots. I also found my dad’s old sears film camera and started thinking about having it cleaned to start messing with it. Those that fell out of the hobby and got back in, what did you feel helped?
Sears included some really nile ses with some of their film cameras. I own an Auto Sears 55mm 1.4 and it’s a beautiful lense, very well made. I think it’s manufactured by Tomioka.
I’ve taken some very long breaks for my photography but I always come back to it, sometimes it takes a couple years but it happens. I don’t know what brings me back, I just start thinking that I want to be creative again and it’s really the only way I know how.
