A new year, new photos
Let's start the new year with deep color and pleasantries. I'm always fascinated by the so called point and shoot cameras. I will call them small cameras to distinguish them from those toy like cameras that are OK but leave much to be desired. The G-9 and the G-11 are examples of such units. On a trip they are absolutely right. They are unobtrusive, light and very capable. Ho camera hassles, no changing lenses. A trip should be enjoyable, it should not turn into a photo job.
The location is Greenport Long Island on a beautiful Saturday the springtime. Speaking of which, it's not to far away.

Winter memories / Yashicamat 125-G
Memories from another storm and another winter long ago. I loved my 6X6 cameras. If they could only make a digital one where one could focus on a LCD looking down like in the TLR's it would be wonderful. It would be very easy to implement.
This picture was shot in Prospect Park, Brooklyn.
The film was Tri-X developed in Kodak D:76 full strength.

BEWARE OF VIRUS
FYI TO ALL:
Dave's brother is a very advanced programmer who does computer work
for a living and has a high up status with Microsoft. He doesn't send
these if they aren't real. If he says this is for real, it for sure
is. Be aware.
VIRUS COMING !
I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this
virus!
I checked Snopes, and it is for real. Get this E-mail message sent
around to your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!
You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message
with an attachment entitled:
'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a
virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc
C of your computer.
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address
in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this
e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25
times than to receive the virus and open it.
If you receive a mail called 'POSTCARD', even though sent to you by a
friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately. This is
the worst virus announced by CNN.
It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus
ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no
repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero
Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US...

A labor of love
I want to express to all of you who occasionally visit this blog a deeply felt thank you. Of course I also want to extend wishes for the holidays and for the coming new year.
This is a labor of love. I just want to share my work - some good and perhaps some not so good - with all who care to visit. This is in a way a dangerous undertaking as it exposes my talents or lack thereof. I am surprised that very few of you comment. I would really appreciate some comments to discuss the images. I also welcome criticism. It may appear easy but it takes determination to keep on going posting new photos. But I love to do this and as long as you visit, I will go on posting.
Again, thank you and all the best.

Summer dreaming / Canon 30D
There's really is no place like New York. This shot was taken on a perfect summer evening at the Sea Port. After it got dark, the Brooklyn Philharmonic played a free concert whose finale piece was the Fireworks Suite by Handel. Of course it was accompanied with timed and choreographed fire works. Sublime.
If it only had interchangeable lenses....Fuji X 100

Merry Christmas Canon 1D III
A choir from Catholic schools at the Bishop's Lunch dedicated to raise scholarship funds for Catholic Education. The lens was the Canon 24-105 F4 L.
Trying to get in the Christmas spirit. I just watched the original Christmas Carol from 1938 and it got things starting for me. I wish the best to one and all.

Tax day Olympus E-20
What do you do after you pay those confiscatory taxes to Washington? Why, you go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I'm always pleasantly surprised at the quality that early digital cameras had in spite of all their many limitations. The lens on the E-20 was phenomenal, for example. This shot is an out out the camera JPEG.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
