Summaron's photostream
|
i bought my first camera, a Canon FtbN with a 50mm f1.8 lens, in 1974 and have been shooting off and on ever since. mostly, i shoot what appeals to me, without too much regard for whether it will appeal to anyone else, but i love comments (pro & con) and hope you will freely offer compliments, criticisms, questions, and observations.
i have also owned and shot with a Leica M3, Olympus OMs (1 & 2), an ancient Rolleiflex TLR , a Mamiya C33 TLR, numerous point & shoots (Stylus, HiMatic, Action Touch, etc), a Crown Graphic, even a borrowed Holga, but am inexorably moving towards digital, being haunted by a lengthy period of time in which i stopped shooting because of an inability to keep up with the demands of film.
right now, i mostly use a sony cybershot but it has a tack-sharp carl zeiss lens that meets my current needs.
some old nudes from a past life are posted at summaron-2; please feel free to check that out and make that a contact.
note: i have been posting some cheap shots lately - vintage camera ads, right nows, etc, because of health issues. they're not likely to get better, but i could get better at coping with them & am hoping to.

Flickerpower says:
"Summaron's narratives about his muse and body of work are at once sad, compelling and minimalist. His photos speak for themselves. His muse, who is a classic beauty, is lovingly observed and rendered in these other generation black and whites. I have to think of Edward Weston with some of them, but that's not meant dismissively. Weston's nudes are sometimes are so formal and abstract that the life can be sucked out of them. Not so here. Love the baby picture, blurry and all."
