Health problems this summer, unfortunately, prevented much image capturing.  Now doing better, most recent newly added images (Landscapes) feature only a handful of those captured on film over the past two years.  Before more digital capture, I yet want to run celluloid through a Mamiya M645 and a recently acquired Kodak Retina IIIc, the later a surprisingly pleasant little gem.  And, film has a certain attraction and pleasure, indeed.

Ironically, over my life having collected a nice array camera and other photo equipment, I have come to realize that at my age - unless I become a manic photographer - I likely will not make adequate use of a lot of this hardware.  After some thought, selling much of it for a Leica Monochrom seemed to make sense, until realizing that the hassle and time needed to do so would be unreasonable.  So, with forethought and planning, I hope yet to enjoy as much of my gear as possible.

Once again I am revealing my attraction, against my better judgement, to the importance of cameras over the images themselves.  But like Mick Jagger sings, "it's only Rock'n Roll but I like it."

Blessed are those who let go of their beloved equipment and limit their cameras to one or two nice pieces at a time.
