I'm starting to get back on my feet after two months without walking. In fact, today I took one of my Calumet cameras (a CC-401), my Ilex Caltar 165mm 1:4.7, and six pieces of Lucky 4X5 sheet film out to test the camera and lens. And, you know what, it works. The shots aren't remarkable in the slightest, but when they're scanned I'll post them. One of my goals this year is to learn how lens movements work and how to capitalize on them for my work. And, what I learn, I'll pass along.
In the mean time, for the next two weeks, at least, I'll post two entries a week on how to use different cameras. These will be from my YouTube feed. This week we'll look at the Nikkormat FTn. Next week, the Canon AE-1 will be the featured camera. As I record more of these, they'll be shared here, too.
A Year in Photos
Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.
This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.
