Dramatic early digital shot of locomotive at Honesdale, PA, the birthplace pf American railroads.

Early digital

 Early digital shot with the Fuji S-1 Pro that had a wonderful sensor of a mere 3.4 megapixels but a very flimsy body - that of a Nikon 60 SLR. I could never understand whit Fuji with it's great industrial might did not produce it's own body. Perhaps they were rushing into the digital market. Later on they produced wonderful cameras. Be that as it may, this camera created splendid color images that reminded my of Kodachrome II. only the Nikon D-1 X had similar colors and alas, Nikon decided to make cameras with totally dead colors. This was another reason for the rise of Canon digital. Enough history.

Rural alley

In small towns one can still get a flavor of things as they once were. This alley that once was thriving is now in a state od decay. Too bad.

Have a great week

Fujichrome 120

In the nineties Fuji assau8lted the film market with excellent products especially on color films. First came Fujcolor negative film and then a series of slide films. These images were shot with a Mamyia 220 on Fuji RVP ISO 100. The colors were brilliant and saturated sort of like the original Kodachromes. These were film's las hurrahs as digital soon took over. Interestingly enough Fuji survived ads prospered while Kodak, the inventor of the CCD went under. Even  more ironic is the fact that even on their fine digicams, Fuji uses the name Fujifilm. Go figure.

With winter here, can spring be far behind?

With ineluctable punctuality, winter has arrived. Too bad, really too bad. Now a period of nasty weather underscored by snow. sleet, rain and freezing cold is upon us. Let's try to make the best of it. What choice do we have.

Soon it will look like this

True, unfortunately, but inevitable. I hate the winter even though good images may be made. This is Honesdale, PA last winter.

Contemporary sculpture

This wonderful contemporary sculpture is in front of a new bar in Honesdale PA. It's made of glass and the pieces are attached on a bicycle wheel. I love how it contrasts

with the cloudy sky,
