Don't overthink it. They're just talking about normies who won't put the phone down for a second and enjoy the show with their own eyes.

Are you constantly filming on your phone
Are you glued to the camera dialing in some autistic ettr or jpeg/video settings shit
Playing around with the controls on your fujileica
Burdened with a bag containing every focal length you can afford, and a flash you wont use, and a tripod you dont need
No?
No problem,

>>4405542
Not the issue. Even if you were doing that (you're going to get robbed) it doesn't matter. If you enjoy taking pictures of stuff you see, why would you abstain from doing that for some meaningless concept like 'living in the moment'?

>>4405547
Because you’re too busy juggling gear and software to? Do you not get this?

For the first 100 years of photography it was pretty point and shoot. Digital was a huge regression, weirdly. Now people are glued to their fujis flipping through DR400, white balance, and film sim settings and its more normal to be a gear fag with a lens purse.

>>4405548
You're missing the point. There is no 'living in the moment'. It doesn't actually mean anything. It's just a series of words that lukewarms read and go 'yeah I agree with that because I can't think'. Just do what you like who gives a fuck

>there is no living in the moment omg words i cant think
You’ve never experienced it.

Less likely is lifelong clinical depression, autism, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophrenia left you unable to enjoy things other than computers.

>>4405554
You're going to have a hard life if you genuinely value every little quip, anecdote, saying, whatever, like this. You're not living for yourself, you're living for what other people are telling you to do. Unfortunate that you can't see it, but there's obviously no helping you.

>>4405555
>omg its just words man ur a sheep maaaaan people just TOLD you to be conscious
You don’t understand the words because you’ve never experienced what they describe and are a spiritually dead NPC lacking the ability to imagine what they are like.

>ever giving a fuck what anyone else thinks

photography is what connects me to the moment. NOT having my little cam and 2 prime lenses with me would take me out of the moment more than anything else.

I'm actually going outside more often because of photography. I don't know how that's negative?

>>4405593
sounds more like photography is how you avoid social interaction

You sound like a child.
>DONT TELL ME WUT TO DO
>THINGS I AM TOLD, OR WAS TOLD IN MY HEAD, = ALWAYS WRONG
Or some sort of narcissist. What's with the victim complex? Why do you act like you're being bullied and ordered around because of a generic complaint typically referencing people who literally never look down from their phone and stand there filming crimes and deaths? Why do you act threatened? Why are you automatically on the defensive over this generic quip?

Why do you act threatened? Seriously? Narcissism?
>Did someone just imply something that might one day result in someone thinking i am imperfect!?

Possibly autistic as well, since you are unable to perceive any nuance

>step back and return to the zone being in the moment
I just 'zone focus' in an instant from one state to another

hateful normie crabs in a bucket. many such cases of them coping and seething and people having passion and enjoying some facet of life.

>>4405548
>For the first 100 years of photography it was pretty point and shoot
This is so wrong lol, it took a lot of technical knowledge. Then roll film came and it made photographing accesible to even the filthiest casuals.

>>4405550
Photography is always a frozen image of the past. When you press the shutter you're creating a future image of the past. Let that sink in and remember, time is relative.

Look how you come apart at a different opinion. You're obviously feeling threatened yourself, you projecting little socialite. How fragile.

>>4405533 (OP)
i'm better than you

ngl that's a based shitpost

You’ll get out of highschool someday champ. Until then you’ll have an insufferable personality based on the assumption that you’re always right.

>>4405703
That dudes not coming apart, he’s ripping you apart. You never even answered his question. Why are you defensive? Did the mean handsome normie man in your head tell you "look up from the screen you fuckin sperg" and start banging your waifu? Is that why you made this thread? Lol

>>4405703
do "gnostic"fags really lmfao

>>4405533 (OP)
It's true.
Looking at things with your own eyes is more emotionally sincere then any form of secondary looking like photography.
