I just saw the film because of this small video and I'm so happy I did. It's a beautiful introduction to Wim Wenders and immediately explains why so many people respect him. It changed my mind on photography as well. Like the character, I used it just to pass the time. Until something important comes along and you start to cherish the little moment of silence you share. For a long time I found photography to be just a commodity but now I can understand how people actually relate to this medium, not art critics and pretenders that think too high of themselves to call themselves a "photographer". It's about a certain fascination.
