By the way, the widget is wrong - I have 22 photos that have made it to Explore, not just 3...
Check out my blog - The Obscure Camera
Have a look and post some photos at the Available Darkness flickr group.
My Dad (RIP March 22, 2012 - I miss you, Dad) taught me contact printing at 7, and my first camera was, of course, a Box Brownie. I wish I still had it.
I own and use Canon 5D Mk2; Olympus E-P2; Leica M6 and IIIf. I fondle older Japanese rangefinders from time-to-time. Send me your unloved chrome beauties!
I like this sensible philosophy: (1) as Ernst Haas advised, "The best wide angle lens? Two steps backwards", (2) Weegee's advice of "f8 and be there...." and (3) visualize first, shoot second. The best camera is the one behind your eyes.
Oh and (4) have a camera with you as often as you can - no camera, no pictures.

"Norm is the man who inspired me to go down the path of the photography on a DSLR. I have known Norm for quite a few years now and found him to be so passionate about this art form, he is always there to offer advise, lend and pass on equipement whenever I have needed it.
Without knowing Norm I don't think I would be as passionate about photography as I am today, Thanks for everything you have done for me Norm, past and present.

"from the day's of "photoging"to the present this guy still has a great eye...a complete photographic purist....still I dont understand the HDR thing but people seem to like it.
Norm you are still a great photographer and a good friend,who we'll see on this side of the planet one day if we're lucky... and go on another day's photoging,for old times sake..."10th March, 2009
