I'm Back

Ok so I took a vacation from the blog to .... do something. I haven't visited this sight since my last post in December. Ugh, I'll change things up to suit the pic, pix, or whatever. Not necessarily doing a new thing, and I may not do a daily pic, but, we could find several in a day and I may start posting people pix that I need to share. It's my Web Log, I'll do anything I want (My Mom see's the blog so I'll be good).

I have thousands, possibly trillions of images to share, no particular order. We're off...

Did the camera make the image or did the photographer? It amazes me that so often, after one enjoys an image they ask, “what camera did you use?” The camera can be important but it’s only a tool. The photographer’s unique vision is far more crucial. If it’s a good image, it’s “what camera?” If it’s a bad image, it’s “who shot that?”

The camera can be important, but so is the lens, the batteries, the strap, tripod, sensor, film, etc. Would anyone think of asking a painter what brush they used?

A camera, while necessary, is a means to an end, but not a creator.

This is not a how-to forum. It’s a WHY thing. Why was this image created? How did we get here? I will provide some technical details here and there, but only when it’s important to the story.

All images were created in-camera. Quite often I do use Camera Raw to set my black and white points, but any effect you think may be there is created by manipulating the camera and/or shooting through things. I use film, digital..any format that I have.

My journey with photography has been a never-ending search for something. Where I used to look for an image, I’ve learned better to see. What if I look for a pumpkin and all that’s there are eggs?
