I am a little behind with the readings of the processes, but I try to keep up to date in any case they have been incredible and it is worth investing every moment of reading I learn a lot from your experience, and with that beautiful camera I would take everyday photos of the day to day, Outings with friends since it is a more comfortable camera to handle and automatisms
Such good words to read - thank you as always, Wesley! I just came back from my quarantine location to the city I moved to last year. It feels odd to return to a place that's unlike what I left. One of the things I loved deeply about was the ease at which I could go up to new people and strike a conversation, take their portrait. Now, with masks and social distancing, I don't see that habit coming back, but you're challenging me to exercise my eyes and see differently :-).
Its been wonderful reading these last two issues of Process. Its even better with the fact that these two issues discuss the two things I feel I need to approach in order to further myself and my skills with photography. I hope to have both a completed portfolio and a zine of some sort done by the end of the year.
That being said, with the minox, i would hope to shoot much more than I am now! I shoot 645 and my camera is a bit cumbersome when pushing around on a skateboard. I wish I had a small guy like the Minox to shoot those tiny details in life that just need a few seconds of my life to compose, shoot, and keep it moving as opposed to pulling out big bertha every time.
That being said, recently went on a kayaking trip, tipped over, and lost my trusty k1000, so I could use a new 35mm camera. Silly me.
Thanks for the daily inspiration these past 45 days. I love seeing not only your creativity, but every ones creativity during these weird times.
A long time friend and photography mentor once showed me this camera along with others from his collection. This included many amazing film cameras which he had collected over the length of his career. Since then I have been able to borrow and shoot on some of them, mainly those which he was willing to trust in the hands of a young neighbourhood teen in the same class as his son. I was always fascinated with his minox, although it was too sentimental for him to lend to me. He told me stories of places he took it and some of the early work he had done with it, like a Pixies concert in the 90s! If I had this camera, I would capture some of the work which I do now as a result of his generosity and somehow give back to him.

Thank you for the text, very interesting, as always. I have often some projects in mind, but by lack of time or constancy, it rarely became real. I think that the fact to name your project, immediately add some guideline to a project, and help making it real.
