My favorite technology is the modern camera. The technological leaps that have driven photography from film, to the digital era have been inspiring and have helped both consumers and working professionals capture moments in time with great accuracy. From using a DSLR camera to exploring the improved features of the current mirrorless camera format, this technology has changed how I see the world and allows me to share important moments with friends, family and other working professionals.
