The sun was shining and I hadn't shot anything in infrared for a while...
I like infrared... it strips away some of the riff-raff in a scene and lets the good parts stand out. Hmmmm... if we could do that 'in real life'; squint our eyes and see only the good, the positive, the beautiful and let all the negative crap disappear. Ha!
I must confess... when someone tells me they have read my blog, I sorta get the deer-caught-in-the-headlights face. Because what I write here is straight out of my head and heart. I don't write for anyone else. I don't write in this journal to communicate with anyone. I write things down so I will know what I think. (That is from a quote by someone else, but I can't for the life of me remember who).
(Except for the fiction - which at the moment consists only of "The Pen".)
So anyway, that is my disclaimer, the fine print if you will. What you read here is what I think and feel and it's not always pretty or poetic or even grammatically correct.
Other business:
Monte Stevens posted an interesting list - cameras he has owned. So I sat down and compiled my camera history :
Pre-historic: I had an assortment of little 110 pocket-cams and a Polaroid or two.
Minolta SRT 101, film
Pentax P&S, film
Kodak - I can't remember the model, but it was one of the early digitals.
Sony F505
Sony F707 - I still have this camera and I keep it ready for Infrared photography (see photo above).
Fuji S2 Pro
Fuji S3 Pro - probably the best portrait camera ever
Nikon D300
Nikon D700 (current camera and I'm very happy with it)
The earliest photo taken by me, that I still have:
This was taken on a senior class trip to Washington D.C. - I wish I could remember which museum!
