Deep in thought, deeply involved in the goings on in life, and perhaps only a little concerned about the camera pointed at him. This has more relevance as a portrait than a portrait made in the confines of a studio, because he is not removed from his surroundings. It's so realistic. Makes me wonder what if we could take the same camera and go back in time. What would the results look like versus the results of now?
Sandy, thanks for adding to the discussions in 'Mia at Penguin Beach.' I had a similar reaction as you, when I bought my first digital camera. It was like "this is a lot of money." It was so far removed from film. It isn't now, but back then, I took maybe several photographs, looked at them, and put the camera back in its box. It stayed in the box for a year and a half! I couldn't work with it. Rather, I didn't feel comfortable with it, until I started seeing photographs here in Usefilm and some other sites, that I slowly made the effort towards acclimating myself to the LCD viewfinder, and its other digital quirks. Well, it never replaced my film cameras. Digital is like a part of the repertoire or tool kit. It's like my friend who plays the guitar. Not just one guitar, but MANY guitars; some electric, some manual acoustic. It's like we're in a second golden age of photography, where the pc has come into the picture. I like it now. At least I don't have to mix up the chemicals anymore unless I really want to, you know? Cheers,
