Thank you, Mark.
You’re right; many people write about both topics. Just like how so many photographers recommend buying a 50mm lens to everyone, without explaining that this only applies to full-frame cameras. I don’t mind when people make these recommendations, but the reasoning should be clear—for example, because it’s great for portraits, macro photography, etc. But it’s not necessarily the best choice on a Micro Four Thirds or APS-C camera for landscapes or street photography, though of course, anything is possible.

It’s similar to the obsession with having everything razor-sharp, without paying attention to the subject itself, the composition, color, and other important aspects. I enjoy telling those stories, but I hope to do so with a broader perspective, avoiding the narrow-minded chatter you often come across.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there are many people, or photographers, who see things the same way. That’s why I really appreciate your thoughtful comment, Mark. I’m glad you understand.

Apologies for the late response—COVID vaccination knocked me down again, as it usually does.
Have a lovely evening with your family, Mark.

As for sharpness, this is another great subject that too many photographers spend too much time thinking about. If you’re only sharing images on social media or your website, then I don’t see why they are so focused on sharpness. 90%+ images are viewed on 6″ displays for less than a second by its viewers. It’s as if they don’t realise the market to which they are sharing. Of course, for yourself, if you like images to be sharp on your monitor, then fair enough. Subject and lighting is far more important, that’s why I like your real world reviews!
