Adore Noir Freebie

My favorite exchange:

AN: What advice would you give to a young
photographer just starting out?

DF: Simplify your photo making process.
Photography is not about the equipment, so anything you can do to minimize the amount of time
you spend thinking about it and fiddling with it,
the better. For example, I use only one lens. If
I had more than one lens I would have to stop to
choose which one to use— I would be thinking
about the equipment. When you have too many
choices it’s possible to be paralyzed by indecision. Ironically, giving up choice actually gives
me more freedom.


This can be sage advice not only for those starting out but seasoned photographers as well. I'd love the nerve to do something like go on a 2 week overseas trip with only one lens.
