Like many objects of fanatical devotion, the Hasselblad camera is both physical artifact and mythical symbol – at once a technical device of superlative quality and a facilitator of ritualized engagement with the world. My induction into the mysteries of the Hasselblad starts with Hasselblad 501 four years ago. As a photographer, I react to the world around me and express that reaction through the technology of the camera and Hassy is the best tool for me.
