Show Notes:
Filmmaking and Photography Journey With Devounte

Devounte discussed his journey into filmmaking and photography, emphasizing that it's not the equipment that makes the work, but the vision and eye for capturing images. He shared that his first camera was a Cannon T. 3., which he still uses today. He also addressed the misconception that having the latest and most expensive equipment is necessary to start. Instead, he suggested that the hardest part is just starting and then growing from there.
