Mule Day 2009, Calvary Georgia
NIKON D200 | 18-200 mm (31 mm) | f 8 @ 1/800
I am new on this forum and should introduce myself: My name is Darr (short for Darlene) Almeda and most of my work has been done through 4x5" and medium format film. I received a Nikon D200 as a gift in 2007 and this was my first introduction into shooting digital. Since then, I have acquired a Canon G9 and find it to be an exceptional little camera. I am accustom to shooting with a view camera and thus have a few Arca's and Ebony's that I will be selling in the near future. I just ordered an Arca M Line-Two and a P45 back from Capture Integration. I give thanks to this forum and all its contributors for helping me decide on where to go next with digital. I am a retired professional photographer (studio, portrait, special events), but I still make some income through fine art sales, thus the Arca purchase. This year had not been an easy time for me to go and shoot as I returned to school to finish a degree that I had been wanting to do for a while. I look forward to making more art in 2010.
Happy New Year! :grin:

Great photos everyone. It's almost 2010, dark outside, and I'm not taking anymore Nikon shots this year; so, I'll go with this one ("Annie get your gun"). Cheers and Happy New Year.

I don't have a favourite, never have. My best photo is always the next one, the one that's probably out there somewhere, waiting to be found and to be captured. Still, here's one which isn't necessarily the best one, but one that has a symbolic meaning that is important to me.
In this part of the world, and in most other third world countries, young women struggle to create a life for themselves, very often ending up being abused or simply getting pregnant with men who dump them as soon as they learn about the new, future family member, or simply because they find another girl who is even younger, cuter and more gullible. After which the girl has to start all over again, from scratch minus ten this time, having to create a life for themselves and a baby, very often without any support from others whatsoever.
If I could wish for one thing only for the new year and all the years that follow, it would be to change the attitude of men, to take responsibility for their actions, and not just run away, starting another disaster elsewhere, which unfortunately many of our kind do far too often... and this does not only apply to the act of creating babies.

Jorgen, I'm much impressed by your heartfelt way of describing the terrible inequality between sexes, in the majority of countries all over the world. Chained by false legends of 'decency', 'traditions', 'virtue' and so forth, and cloaked under veils, head-scarves, they are constant reminders to us that technical prowess does not necessarily guarantee wisdom, justice and a better life for all. May your wishes come true.
Thank you and kind regards,
Osman
