my world today

my world today
I had a busy day that didn't include a photo walk. My thoughts were focused on an arriving guest and the passing of our dear club member, Andy Rodker. So this photo is more about my internal world. I play the flute each morning and sometimes make notes in a journal. Both very personal things for me. (This image is part of the covers of both those things.) We are lucky to be able to share our worlds with each other - I'm grateful for the time we have together. I try and make each moment count.

In terms of my photographic world, I learned how to photograph with my mother's Rolliflex and so the world was square for me. Even after getting my first camera, a 35mm, I still envisioned square photos and had to re-learn how to compose in the new to me format. So these days I'm very happy that my phone camera has a square mode, and take most photos in that format once again.

Jim O'Neil, Smiley Derleth, Erhard Bernstein, kiiti and 44 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thank you for your visit to my world
My firat camera was a folding Zeiss (I still have it)
120 roll film only black and white were available

Well there were a few colour but they were sort of washed out and the colour faded if you exposed them to light

I recently posted a shot which included a motor car, in a BW original photos only group > The admin refused it and accused me of paying actors for the shot
My reply was that I couldn't afford actors and an old motor car
But that my picture was taken with \ top quality camera and lens

How cool that you have a folding Zeiss! I started on my mother's Rolleiflex, and also with 120 black and white film. I now have that camera, though she kept it for years.

I'd love to see the photo you refer to. Can you give me the link to it (copy the url from the browser when you are on that photo's page)?
