One interest that has had a strong hold on me through out a large part of my life is photography. I've got a 30 year old Canon F1 with a nice collection of lenses and other goodies and an even older Roleiflex, a 1952 model.
I know most people prefer more modern equipment with all their gismos and dingbats, but then it is so easy to forget that it isn't cameras that take pictures, its you. The result depends upon what you see and how you want to show me what you've seen.
Both my cameras are without any automatic functions what so ever. But I like them. I like their feel, their weight, their honesty. When using them they are almost like a part of my hands.
I thought I might show you three of my photo series here, one taken with the old Roleiflex and two with the F1. All series show that photograph is what it has always been, shadows and light, and the objects they touch.
