I love this, doll house heh, *snicker*
thought I have to call on it --- this has to be an older photo since there is no way it is snowing right now in Detroit.

*hour away, and hot*

Correct, zagg, I got this photo early in 2006. I haven't done much lately because my "good" camera died, but Peter from this site encouraged me to be more open to using my "bad" camera...so soon I may have fresh images to post.

totally. the overall quality of a photo lies more in the person pressing the shutter release than it does in the quality of the equipment used. certainly a nice shiny lens helps a lot but i think most would agree that someone with artistic vision can easily create an infinetly more captivating image with a cameraphone than another might achieve using a massively expensive digital slr. I've made a big paradigm shift in my photography. i think. i've bought a fed 5b. a leicia clone. it has a lovely little industar 35mm f/2.8 lens.

Don't get me wrong. i'm not shunning digital altogether. I haven't had anything developed yet but when i do it'll be straight to CD. i can't live without photoshop. just as soon as i can find a little photolab that i can trust with my babies.

But like i say, i'll still be using my Pentax point and shoot digital camera. Sometimes a snapshot will suffice and the ability to instantly review is great. And my mobile phone is alwyas with me for those opportunistic moments. Photoshop can do wonders with even the lowest quality cameraphone shots. Mine is kinda old now. it's one megapixel and it's not great with moving subjects or colour reproduction, but i love the wierd shit it does o seemingly normal subject. Sometimes you even get an oddly shallow depth of field effect. sometimes object appear to glow ethereally with an unreal lightness or delicateness. and it's all completely random.

i'm rambling tough aren't i. i'll stop.

I just discovered this site a couple of days ago and so far all the images I've posted are from a cheap 3 MP cam that I got free in a computer system rebate deal. It's dead now but I have a 2 MP cheapie that's even worse, and my cell phone cam, even worse than worse. The challenge is on! Until I can get the camera of my dreams, (whatever that is), I have to see what I can do with these blunt instruments. :-)

And none of the rest of them are lifting a finger/paw/hoof/tail to help!

I gather Spidey's senses are calling him elsewhere.

Spidey seems to be looking to the skies, as do some of the others...maybe it's a bird. A plane? Superman!
