Lenses have always fascinated me. The camera often plays the role of a black box, in a literal sense. On one end is the light sensitive sensor or film, on the other end is the lens which directs the light to this medium. The importance of the camera is solely to make sure no light is let in that doesn't come through the lens, it's the lens that truly determines how the light is formed on the medium, how the colors are rendered, how the translation of real life is made to the photograph. | Lenses have always fascinated me.

Lenses have always fascinated me. The camera often plays the role of a black box, in a literal sense. On one end is the light sensitive sensor or film, on the other end is the lens which directs the light to this medium. The importance of the camera is solely to make sure no light is let in that doesn't come through the lens, it's the lens that truly determines how the light is formed on the medium, how the colors are rendered, how the translation of real life is made to the photograph.
