I used to be more into photography. In architecture school, I had an old Canon Rebel and a photoblog where I posted one photo every day. Clearly I have a thing for daily routines.  

But that was the pre-social media era and before mobile phones had cameras. With the rise of those two things I eventually moved over to just taking photos on my phone and posting them to [my Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/donnelly_b/). Today we are all photographers.

However this week I decided that I want to start taking that creative outlet a bit more seriously again. So I asked my talented photography buddy (founder of [DSCBRD](http://dscrbd.com/)) if he could recommend a reasonably priced camera for my purposes. 

I then sifted through all of the reviews – because that’s what I do – and decided on the mirrorless [Fuji X-T10](http://www.fujifilm.ca/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_t10/). I love the retro design. It’s also compact enough that it’s easy to carry around. The best camera is the one you have on you.

So I’m spending this afternoon at a cottage playing around with it. It’s a fun place to experiment. I hope you’re all having a great weekend. Talk to you tomorrow.
