        "html": "<p>According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a tool is \"a device or implement used to carry out a particular function.\"</p>\n<h3>Hardware Tools</h3>\n<p>I'll start with my trusty Fuji X-T3. I did not buy my Fuji on the technical specs alone. I love the feel of the camera in my hands\u2014the solid, all-metal construction, and the dedicated dials for ISO, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and metering mode. These dials allow me to make quick changes without diving into menus. The X-T3 feels like an extension of myself, an excellent blend of form and function. My iPhone 11 Pro also plays a role, always ready to capture spontaneous moments with its multiple cameras using apps like <a href=\"https://islandinthenet.com/halide-technical-readout-iphone-11-pro/\">Halide Mark II</a>. Both of these devices have significantly influenced my creative process by providing flexibility and immediate access to high-quality image capture.</p>\n<p>One lens that I use infrequently but holds a special place in my heart is the Asahi Optical Co. Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm f/1.4 that Dad gave me a few years before he passed. This was Dad\u2019s primary lens for his Asahi Optical Co. Pentax Spotmatic II, which he also gifted to me.

        "text": "According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a tool is \"a device or implement used to carry out a particular function.\"\nHardware Tools\nI'll start with my trusty Fuji X-T3. I did not buy my Fuji on the technical specs alone. I love the feel of the camera in my hands\u2014the solid, all-metal construction, and the dedicated dials for ISO, aperture, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and metering mode. These dials allow me to make quick changes without diving into menus. The X-T3 feels like an extension of myself, an excellent blend of form and function. My iPhone 11 Pro also plays a role, always ready to capture spontaneous moments with its multiple cameras using apps like Halide Mark II. Both of these devices have significantly influenced my creative process by providing flexibility and immediate access to high-quality image capture.\nOne lens that I use infrequently but holds a special place in my heart is the Asahi Optical Co.
