RE: An Artist's Poor Sadness

Thank you, and it makes me sad that Art is considered a luxury, instead of a core activity of the human experience. There are so many things that we do not necessarily "require" which are shoved down our throats, because they serve to make a lot of people a lot more money than the others.
I perhaps remain delusional enough to hold onto my cameras (the economic value in them is gone) - but I know that If I got rid of them, I'd want to get them again some day.
So I look at them, through the closed cupboard door, with contempt - and that gives me another idea for another a post along the same lines of this.
Not necessarily "hating" my desire to create, but hating the "lack of impact it brings me".
It's strange to think that just in our lifetimes alone camera evolution evolved to point and click, commercial film developing through to digital cameras on phones and editing apps that can make anyone look professional (to a point). Now they may as well all be in museums lest we forget. The closed cupboard door seems like your personal museum for all your equipment. It's like a nostalgic hobby now.
Looking forward to your further thoughts
