Why the X100V Didn’t Work For Me.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my Fuji gear -- especially the X100V; a camera that goes basically everywhere with me. But this is a story about fear, loss, bias, overcoming uncertainty, and finding inspiration in the unexpected...

This past winter was tough for me, and I wanted to share a deeply personal story that paints a picture of some of the struggles we go through not just as artists and creators, but as people in general. And sometimes, when the desire or need to create is there, it's about finding the appropriate tool for the job -- and sometimes being surprised with the results.
