40 years worth of photos - coming soon to a screen near you.
The photostream jumps about a lot - 1970 can follow 2008 very easily. Even the sets are a bit chaotic so the best way to look at them is through the collections.
And I even reverted to black & white film in 2007, and old cameras you have to set before you take a picture. But I'm still going get rid of the vinyl this year - OK next year.
Remember - wobbly = good : flash = failure
And - an instamatic in the hand is worth two Nikons in the wardrobe
Weird - over a million hits on 1 June 2008, according to Flickr stats. Never thought I'd make that in two years especially since just about nobody ever saw my pictures before. Funny old place this internet-enabled world we live in.
Just been to an exhibition of work by the late Don McPhee. Wonderful stuff. I do identify with his statement, " You have what I saw". What more can you ask of a photographer.
