The other day I missed out on a camera I’d been wanting for YEARSS, and for a moment it felt like my whole creative progress depended on having it. But that small disappointment turned into a reminder I needed: the gear isn’t what makes the work meaningful — it’s the story and how you use the gear you already have that does that. You don’t need the newest camera to start creating. You just need curiosity, practice, and the drive to make something with what’s already around you.
