Mercury Moon

So what have I been doing this morning? Not much. Actually I'm working on a photograph of a sign I took in Sacramento. If there is one advantage to shooting digital photos it is that you can take multiple shots from different angles and then decide at a later date which works best for your intended use. Once in a while I see another photographers shot that looks really good to me and sometimes I will go back to my archive and see that I shot a similar angle but had a different use in mind so I did not use that shot and selected another. So today for my own entertainment I am working over one of my shots that didn't make it to publication in my photo gallery on flickr.

Happy Viewfinder

My replacement viewfinder cover came the other day along with my 120 film. No progress today on the Brownie Hawkey Flash Challenge. Maybe I will take some photos tomorrow if it's not too cold outside. I put film in the SX70 after looking at a bunch of Pola-Diptychs on Flickr. No plans for that yet. Sometimes it's better not to have a plan and just wait for things to happen. There is also film in the Agfa Jsoly waiting for inspiration to hit. Sometimes I have to laugh at myself when I leave the house armed to the teeth with cameras. I actually find it difficult to shoot with more than one camera or format at a time because it seems to distract me from what I am doing. The regular Polaroid is the worst because you have to do something with the prints while they dry and there is almost never anywhere to set them down without getting dust on them. Why is it always windy when I take out the Polaroid? At least the SX70 prints can go in a shirt pocket and not get too distressed.

So here is the problem - Many (not too many) cameras and little time to use them well. Not to mention the post processing of images which always requires much more time than it should. All for an audience of one.
