I discovered yesterday that my digital camera is non-functioning. It can be fixed, but I've not got the money to do it. I feel like something has been taken out of me, taken away. I don't know if it's easy for any creative person to explain what it's like to have their tools of expression taken away from them. I feel as if something is missing, some part of my essential person. A camera is not merely a means by which things are captured; it is the means by which I find what delights my eye, and captivates my attention.
