Camera! Camera! Camera!

When making products, tools such as sewing machines, cutters, and hammers are necessary.
Frequently used tools are kept within easy reach.
Recently, there's a tool I've started using frequently.
Even though I never used it at all before.
In the past few months, that tool has become indispensable for my work.
It's a camera.
Since I started focusing on Instagram, I've been using the camera a lot for photos and videos.
Before that, I only used the camera when new products were made and I needed to upload them to the website.
I bought the camera I'm currently using when the first state of emergency was declared.
It was to start a YouTube channel to focus on online presence.
Having no interest in cameras, I didn't know which one to buy among the many options,
so I just chose one that I thought looked cool.
It turned out to be a camera I really like and am glad I bought.
Immediately after buying it, it was just a work tool, but I started bringing it home to photograph my young children.
Once I started bringing it home, I also started taking snapshots while walking from the station to my house.
I originally enjoyed walks.
The joy of walking was discovering things that couldn't be found by car or bicycle, finding scenes in everyday, ordinary landscapes that I would usually overlook, and experiencing a small sense of wonder.
And it was a perfect match for the camera.
The camera I bought as a work tool, I started taking it with me when I went to the park with my kids on days off, and when I went for walks in the neighborhood.
Even at home, I started keeping the camera within easy reach.
Honestly, when I was only using it for work, I didn't find much joy in taking photos,
but as I started using it in my private life, I grew to love photography more and more,
and gradually began to enjoy taking photos for work too.
I decided to put effort into Instagram at the beginning of this year, and although it's only been half a year, I think a big reason I've been able to continue enjoying it is because I grew to love photography.
This camera, chosen purely for its appearance.
The vari-angle monitor also makes it very easy to shoot production videos.
In fact, if it weren't vari-angle, it would be so inconvenient that I'd probably need to buy a new one.
Work tools are consumables, but it's easier to work when you can use familiar ones for as long as possible.
This camera has also become a tool I want to use for as long as possible.
