Oscar Peterson, describing the feel of using a device whose models of the world match your own (in this case, the Fuji S2):
“Any time I can pick up a camera and sort of walk my way through it, I know that I’ve got a friend”
I was torn between categorising this as “photography” or “design”, but I think the emotive connection Peterson describes reminds me of how I - and many others - feel about the cameras I’ve loved. It’s a connection we ought to be building into the products we build - soft, hard, or otherwise.
