About
I took this pic 6 years ago. It was 2004. At the time I had just ruined my first digital camera and … waits a seconds… ruined my first and second digital camera(s). 6 years ago and nearly $1000.00 Yank dollars later… I had no respectable camera to hand. MM and I went up to Tomahawk(Tom-uh-hawk), Wisconsin (Wes-kon-sin) and I grabbed a camera Eli (our daughter) bought for a few bob… it was a cheesy, crappy, plastic throw-a-way model… and since it was all I had at the time… I used it to snap our trip. And this, this one bit of simple camera photo… resides in my top ten I have taken. It is not always the equipment… every now and then it is the artist…
ok be calm down, i can understand what u have said but look at the pic's info! u mentioned in the camera model that nikon 8800!!!!! change it for goodness sake!
Hi Jim, I read your about with interest and I agree with your assessment completely. Thousands of dollars of equipment is fine to have, but if you don't have an "eye" for an image, it won't be of much use. My oldest son organized a "photo voice" project in Northern Ontario last year. I went over the images with him that some of the people took using supplied, cheap, low megapixel cameras. Some of the people's images really stood out and made me wonder what they would do with more experience and top notch equipment. Who knows, some of the honesty in their images might disapear? I believe you can never underestimate the power of the common snapshot for honest documentation. Andre
