"The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. This statement, made by Dorothea Lange, emphasizes that the art of photography is fundamentally about observation, a skill that remains unchanged despite advancements in technology."
"Having fewer shots made photographers better. With only 36 exposures on a roll and the costs associated with developing, photographers were compelled to think critically about their compositions and moments."
Modern cameras and smartphones have significantly improved in autofocus, image sensors, and computational photography. However, the fundamental aspects of photography, such as choosing the right moment and understanding the subject, have not changed. The essence of photography lies in observation, which remains constant regardless of technological advancements. Photographers who started with film often found that having limited exposures improved their skills, as they were more deliberate in their choices and compositions.
