First Velvia Graduate school is a great time to have gear repaired. While my Nikon D3 was in the "shop" for a deep cleaning, I cracked open my father-in-law's old Nikon F4 for my very first shoot on film. The entire experience was marked by firsts. First time loading film into a camera since my tricked out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles point-and-shoot of 1990. First time hoping each frame was perfect due solely to the cost associated with a missed exposure. First time a passerby was stumped by the camera I had propped up on a sturdy tripod. "What are you shooting," a passerby asked. Normally I say Nikon and the passerby would ask the model and pepper me with photo related comments. Yay. This time however, I responded with, "Nikon F4." The look of puzzlement on the questioner was priceless. Then again, a camera manufactured in March 1989 can have that effect. Stumped. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Skagit Tulip Every year the Skagit Valley's family flower farms are bestowed with countless tulips just like Holland. This photograph was taken in April, I suggest you pack a few raincoats and take your family to stroll through these beautiful farms. Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
Venetian Giant? Is this a tall man and regular doorway, or an average person walking through tiny doorway? Ago vita vos somnium (live the life you dream)
