Thinking of Photography
Saturday, March 5th, 2005
A couple of quotes from Galen Rowell I found on a random site…
“Whenever anyone asked what camera I used, I should blithely reply: ‘Asking a photographer what model of camera he uses is like asking a writer what model of tyewriter he uses.’”
Speaking on film vs digital, Mr Rowell relates Bill Atkinson’s thought on the matter — “When I asked Bill about this confusion of medium and message, he shrugged and said that searching for grain in a digital print to validate it as photography is like listening for tape hiss in a CD to validate it as music. The noise is apart from the artistic signal, and to listen for it is not to hear the music.”

Couldn’t resist another photo (click for a larger version). Borrowed a friend’s 5 megapixel Sony camera and everything lined up for its lens. More shots soon.
Also, check out the now playing list on the sidebar. Yeah. It’s done. Friggin awesome.
