About Life and Gear

Oh… lucky those of you, who could just enjoy the solar eclipse!

I have never seen one, but I googled, and I might have my chance to photograph one on 2nd of August 2027.

10 years of waiting might seem a lot, but when I saw Seth’s image (top image), where the gigantic spectacle of celestial bodies becomes just a small point into a much bigger frame (and space), I’m reminded of my own real dimension: I’m just an even smaller point admiring it all… and my ten years are just a glimpse of an eye.

A glimpse of an eye… and I perceive that….

… it’s not about putting more years into our lives, but more life into our years.

So let’s try to have 10 good years, and to have fun, until the day I can finally photograph the solar eclipse with my… with… I wonder… what gear will I use in 10 years?

Maybe an X-EPhoton? Or an X-TQuantum? An iPhone? And will Fuji’s rangefinder cameras finally have a tilt screen? Questions, millions of questions, nailed in my brain like stars pinned on the firmament.

Take care my friends… all will be good… enjoy it :)
