Good observations about knowing your gear and trusting yourself too.

Great article! Robin is such a master of his gear, he knows that 25mm f1.8 inside and out!

I was just watching a Daido Moriyama video on YouTube the other night and he did a lot of the same with wide angle compact cameras like the Ricoh film GR he was using in the footage - he would shoot a lot of the time without looking through the viewfinder, which can't be easy with a 28mm lens! His framing can be haphazard and curated more to present energy and edginess - whereas Robin is capable of very clean, symmetric compositions even when he can't see anything!

Not bad, not bad at all...
