Keep Going

If you think it’s bad now, it used to be worse. That’s why I’m not too worried. You are a part of the change you would like to see.

Layered

A 50mm lens is more front-to-back than side-to-side and compresses things together, perfect for layering foregrounds over backgrounds. It looks more deadpan than a 35mm.

Broken, please use other door

A sign at a convenience store says, “broken, please use other door,” and then apologizes for the inconvenience.

I don’t know what to tell ya

Bad advice permeates. Everyone offers it freely. The rarest thing is something helpful. So don’t worry. Go ahead and make a wrong decision and regret it later. It’s perfectly normal.

Complaining, a how to guide

Live a great life. From wherever to whatever, I love taking pictures with my camera. It’s an obsession, a small footprint. It’s prints, posts, and film resting inside a trusty binder, while enjoying life and giving others room.

Film Emulation

It’s fine to digitally emulate a film photography. A pack of monochrome 8x10 sells for $250, a $150 rise from a decade ago. Some 35mm rolls fetch $15. Film photography was once the primary method for taking images.

Wooden shutter button

How nice would it be to have a camera shutter button made from mesquite?

Parks

Near passing cars, a walkway loops around a pond. Trees grow, and ducks eagerly anticipate snippets of bread. The park, known as Buffalo Wallow or Memorial Gardens, is an excellent place to walk in the evening hours.
