By every measure, Jasmine Quiñones is extremely creative. Her images have perspective; her short films make you feel something. But she's not immune to getting stuck in a creative rut.
She was in one such rut when we first got in touch about contributing to our new video series with MPB about upgrading gear on a budget. In an attempt to extricate herself, Quiñones pitched an idea back to us: What if I downgrade instead?
In search of said downgrade — and, hopefully, a creative upgrade — she dove headlong into our Camera Comparison tool. She had her mind set on a simple point-and-shoot camera and quickly narrowed her selection down to the Fujifilm XQ2.
Then, Quiñones popped over to MPB, the leading platform for buying, selling, and trading camera equipment, and found one in stock, in excellent condition and, importantly, at an affordable price. While she was there, Quiñones also grabbed a Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 fisheye lens, because, why not? She was under budget after all.
If you're in a creative rut or just looking to break out of your photographic comfort zone, we hope Quiñones' experience can serve as a reminder. That is, that sometimes the best way forward is back. And that old things can bring new perspectives.
