Ode to my First Fujifilm Camera

Ever since I first saw the Fujifilm X100, X-Pro1, and X-E1 in 2011 and 2012, I wanted to buy one. These cameras were significantly different from the other digital models on the market, and seemingly more similar to classic film cameras. I’d see them in various camera magazines, and I’d eagerly read the reviews and study the pictures. I was fairly new to digital photography, having purchased my first DSLR in 2009, but I found the experience frustrating and disappointing. It was so much different than film, and I felt like I was learning photography all over again.
