A day out shooting with the film camera that started it all for me—the original Pentax 645. I recently decided to buy this medium format camera again, after investing in a bunch of Pentax 645 glass for my Fuji GFX system. In this video, I’m also talking about why I think gear matters, and why it’s also important to get really clear on what you want out of photography.
