A photographer is typically capturing the world, but they how they frame things makes all the difference. The same with a writer, I reckon.
Also, every writer, metaphorically speaking, carries a different "camera."
You might be a quick developing writer, fast working, utilitarian and a bit funky.
You might use an old Lyca camera and need to retreat to the darkroom of your mind, alone and quite and steeped in chemicals, before turning out your work.
So many possibilities!
