Way to go, Doug.
"f/8 and BE THERE!"
THAT's the way to take pictures.
Cheers.
Thank you, Ardeshir. Not being a professional it was an honor for the
pictures to even be considered, but I did everything possible to subtly
steer them towards the shots taken with Nikonos gear, and they did also
select some of those as well. I felt as though a crime had been committed by
selling the box camera pictures; but what that really tells me is that I'm
too equipment oriented and less aware of the content of the image. So I am
trying to learn from the experience.
Doug
