This is good, and I will be endeavouring to tidy up my commits in future. I'm good at the "little and often" mantra, less good at leaving all my typos/dodgy moments in.
Oscar Peterson on Interaction Design
03 May 2008
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.
