Reminder: Technology Can Empower You

Embrace technology that empowers you

Adrian Vila:

Today’s technology gives us incredibly powerful tools to create and express ourselves, and many options to share that art. I believe this is the golden age of photography: there’s a lot of noise but people are creating amazing images nowadays, much better than they used to be, and they are more accessible than ever.

We tend to romanticise the past and we forget that photographers like Ansel Adams lived on the edge of technology, using the latest cameras and film stocks, trying to perfect the medium, always experimenting with new techniques. He didn’t idealise photographers or technologies from the XIX century, he strived to improve them.
