Then again maybe I don't want to be cured. Feel free to admit you are affected as well. Maybe we can get on Dr...

    Alan’s Potpourri of Photography

    It seems lately that when I go out to shot I end up with pictures that belong in so many different topic areas that my old-timers disease kicks in and I don't remember what I posted. With that in mind I decided that I would start a thread where I could post odds and ends in one place. It might...

    Good old film days......

    They weren't that good....Interesting thoughts about using film back in the day including all the grain in Tri-X at 400. And I don't even want to talk about pushing it to 800 to shoot night football games. Time fades all memories. Stop Romanticizing About The Good Old Film Days – They Weren’t...

    Fishing for trees?

    How many times does a fisherman need to snag his line in a tree before he figures out there must be a better place to go fishing? By the looks of this I would say at least five! ( No offence to any fisherman out there)

    You must have a really nice camera

    We have all heard that from someone and some of us take offence when someone opens a conversation with that remark. I think this blog post addresses it well....... http://neilvn.com/tangents/you-must-have-a-really-nice-camera/ But then it may just be my good mood this morning :p

    Emotions

    I was reminded today by a friend that our photographs can, and do, evoke emotions in our viewers. Her comments struck a chord with me and brought me back to a blog post I read recently.
