Would a carpenter with a garage full of finely crafted tools be expected to build every house in town? Of course not. The tools are there to support the carpenter's craft, not to dictate how much they produce. The same can be said for photography equipment—having exceptional gear doesn’t obligate someone to constantly showcase their work.
Photography is a deeply personal art form, and each of us connects with it in our own way. While some photographers excel in street/documentary photography and choose to share a multitude of images, that's not the path I follow. The quantity of images one may share does not necessarily reflect productivity or creativity for everyone. I don't feel the need to post every image I like that I create. The essence of photography isn't solely about how much we post publicly but about the depth of our connection to the craft. We all contribute to the photographic community differently, and I respect that diversity. My equipment and shooting styles serve my creative needs, and I believe every photographer should pursue what genuinely resonates with them.
