Just found this lovely blog and the opening paragraph on this post sums up everything I think about Community Reporting...telling stories....sharing stories:
"I have talked about the camera as a tool, not the purpose in itself, and I have pointed out that whatever camera you use or have is for most situations more than good enough. My point has been to emphasize the need to make our creative work come from the heart, and let technique and the camera be but a tool for our heart – although still something we need to learn and need to master as creative photographers."
Enjoy the blog!
