I went over to momma’s for breakfast yesterday, and she handed off some camera gear that belonged to my Grandfather. A full Vivitar rig: 250/SI (with some mold in the eyepiece), Vivitar 50mm f/1.8 (Cosina-made, in the 30th week of 1975, or maybe 85, but everything else is from the mid 1970s, and it looks like a …

365.284 a slight emergence
My deepest apologies for the lateness of this post. I was out and about with a young woman last evening—if it was a date, it was the first one I’ve been on since 2005, and so I don’t really know if it was a date or not, so I won’t call it a date—when I …
365.283 for lack

365.280 atmosphere
Well, I like this picture, but I don’t think its quite up to the standards I’ve set for myself. I would go back to shooting, but I’m too busy second-guessing and doubting myself at present to do anything but second-guess and doubt. It’s alright though, because I think this picture, perhaps desaturated a bit, would …
365.279 Abstraktes Bild (Anbetung des Kaboutermanneke)
Since you likely don’t see what I see here, the subtitle likely makes little sense. So you should make up your own story about what’s going on here, if anything. Deal? Thanks! D7000. Nikon 75-150mm f/3.5 Zomb-E Series. ISO400, 1/50th (AP mode), f/3.5, -1EV. ~6-8 minutes of slider play in Aperture.
