Maggie, are you familiar with the work of Walt Odets? I really enjoy his photography and thought you might, too.Thank you, John!
You know, the GR has really loosened up my shooting style. There's something about it, the size, the interface, the files, that I just trust and it lets me just sort of rip.
I go out looking for photographs, but he appears to find them right where he is.John, I am a fan of Walt Odets! Haven't looked at his website for a while, though, thanks so much for the link. He's got a great eye for geometry and, to my eye, is emotionally very tuned in to what's going on with the people he photographs.
Sorry. Should be OK now. - JohnI'm getting a "content protected by owner" slide instead of the photo.
Maggie, that is (or rather was) one of my favourite lenses on my M8 - I assume it is the first version CV 50/1.5?
Nice shots. This is a very wise decision I think, Rich. I still think it's a refreshing relief to go simple. I think we all are hit from the society's Development, to think that what you have isn't enough, and we all are getting spoiled by the thought, that this new camera, this new lense, this new... almost will save our life, make us to be more artistic than ever, but perhaps its the other way around. We never settle down and relax with what we have, and exploit it out in the edges, because before that happen, then something new comes around and distract our mind (and the creativeness of our soul, as the biggest issue). What seems to be a freedom (of choices) seems instead to be mental jail of distraction and unsatisfaction of (artificial created) needs.These shots have been so inspiring. I was an early GR adopter, but was really using it as a work camera....recording, cataloging, etc.
After browsing this gallery repeatedly, I made up my mind to only shoot the GR for a while and put aside my other cameras.
Thanks for all for sharing.
