"I bought it again...。"
Look at the box I received from Amazon.、Those words come out of my mouth naturally.。
no、To be precise、I know before it arrives。
The one who pressed “click” was、Because it's definitely me。
every time I do a new job、We think, “If I had this, I would be more efficient,” or “If I had this equipment, I could handle it.”。And if you notice、Not just the contents of your camera bag.、The inside of the room is gradually occupied by equipment.。
I have been working as a photographer for a long time.、This “disease of increasing equipment” may be an occupational disease.。
of course、It was different when I was younger.。
I was happy to buy a new lens.。
When the new strobe arrives、Sometimes I could spend a whole day just taking test shots.。
Photography equipment is a work tool and at the same time、It was also a hobby toy.。
“I want that too.。"
“I want to try this too.。"
That feeling is、Not much has changed even now。
The difference is、just my age。
Before you know it, ``metabolism'' is more important than decluttering.
recently、I think about it often。
``I'm old enough.、I have to declutter。"
This is no longer the time to save everything like in the past.。
leave only what you need、Become lighter。
I fully understand it in my head。
So actually、I got rid of a lot。
Equipment you can't live without
・Big strobe
・Giant butterfly
・Large reflex board
・Century stand that will help you strengthen your arms just by carrying it around
・Historic film cameras。Yeah? Some digital cameras are outdated.
"ah、It's nostalgic。"I don't need it anymore?"
Even though I feel that way, there is a part of me that can't let go.。
It used to be necessary。
But now、Shooting styles, equipment, and times have changed.。
performance is better、small、became lighter。
In the past, large-scale equipment was required.、Now it's much more compact。
If you think so、There is nothing wrong with decluttering。
...It's supposed to be。
However、I thought it had decreased, but it has increased.。
It's a strange phenomenon。
Amazon knows my weaknesses well.
Open Amazon。
Recommended products lined up。
"a、This clamp looks useful。"
"This plate might work.。"
"This accessory、It's small and doesn't get in the way。"
That's how I buy one。
a few days later、The box arrives。
put it in the room。
and next week、Amazon is open again。
This is not a separation、It is the metabolism of the equipment.。
quantity does not decrease。
rather、I feel like it's increasing little by little.。
It's called AI、The ultimate easy job
AI jobs have been increasing recently.。
write sentences、make images、organize your ideas。
It's a really convenient time。
AI doesn't complain。
Not tired。
Not heavy。
You can work as long as it is charged。
AI doesn't need storage shelves
Above all、Equipment cannot be increased。
I'm really jealous of this。
No need for lenses。
No need for a tripod。
No need for lighting。
No need for a stand。
No need for storage shelves。
“People who work solely with AI、I guess the room is big。"
I sometimes think about that。
Looking at the equipment shelf、I feel a little jealous。
Why do I still go to the site?
However,、For work that requires going to the field、It has a charm that AI doesn't have.。
leave home。
carry the equipment。
walk。
go up the stairs。
squat。
stand。
walk again。
I repeat that all day long。
By the time it's over、moderately tired。
In the past, I just thought, "I'm tired."。
But lately it's different。
``I walked a lot today.。"
I started thinking like that。
Is it because of my age?。
The word health、It's getting closer than before。
work is、It becomes exercise
Some people in this world go to the gym for their health.。
Some people walk。
Some people go running。
As for me...
walking to work。
carrying a heavy bag、moved many times、Repeatedly standing and squatting。
When I look at my smartphone、I often end up taking more steps than I expected.。
is this、Isn't it a surprisingly good exercise?。
I came to have such a convenient interpretation.。
I go to photo shoots to maintain my health.。
Of course it's a joke。
...about half。
AI and the field、It's interesting because there are both.
There will be a day when I will work only with AI.、There may be more in the future。
Work is completed at home。
No movement。
No heavy luggage。
That would be ideal in terms of efficiency.。
But、Imagine a life where you sit in a chair all day.、It gets a little scary。
Convenience is、make people immobile。
people are、Before you know it, you'll drift towards something easier.。
That's why、I feel like there is value in the work that goes into the field.。
move your body。
meet people。
feel the atmosphere of the place。
Even just that、There are things you can't get at your desk at home.。
There are days when I sit at my desk and face AI.、I feel fresh every day I go to work。
There are days when I go to the field.、I also appreciate the time I spend working with AI at home.。
Only one or the other、I'll probably get bored。
The road to decluttering、It's still far away
However,、I still have one problem。
equipment。
I want to reduce。
But it increases。
I want to declutter。
But it will be necessary。
``I might use this in the future.。"
There is no word more dangerous than this one word.。
Looking forward to my future self、I'll put it back on the shelf again。
and、Next to it is lined up new equipment that arrived the other day.。
What a contradictory scene。
I finished work today and went back to my room.。
Equipment is lined up on the shelves。
``Maybe I should reduce it a little.。"
With this in mind, I open my smartphone。
Before you know it, you're browsing Amazon.。
For recommendations、Useful accessories you've never seen before。
Review is 4.8 stars。
"this、Looks like I can use it at work。"
The moment I thought that、I laughed at myself。
The road to decluttering、It seems like it's still a long way off。
But、Maybe that's okay。
I increase because I like it。
I buy it because I need it。
and、I use it because I have work to do.。
While repeating that、From now on, I'll probably continue to carry my equipment and head to the site.。
...to maintain health。
no、Actually、I still love my job as a cameraman.。
