Whatknot's photostream  

Rummaging through 40+ years of photography. Some of these are salvaged from less than perfect efforts, but that is part of the process and makes them no less pertinent. These are taken with a variety of cameras from a Kodak 127 Brownie and a 1918 Kodak Autographic to a Pentax Spotmatic in the earlier film years and a Casio QV70, Yashica Samurai, Olympus C2500, and CaninS1 in the digital mode (safely on the trailing edge of technology) . A Canon Rebel T1i is my "big boy" DSLR plus a lot with a Vistaquest VQ1005 or VQ1015 (the little camera that could) and a a variety of other toy digitals. If it can capture light it's worth a try.

Exploring the Flickr concept is rather like a treasure hunt with something for everyone. In a way it is a photo stream of consciousness. There is so much talent out there to see and so many super ideas to inspire.

Some of my images I like now more than when I took them and some less and some have the potential to be more digitally. I am still exploring a large box of negatives and taking new things as well.

I don't blog so flickr is my visual blog. :)

Lately I have been using minimal digital cameras. They have produced some interesting resluts and quite a few have wanderd into the explore pages.

Resolution isn't a limit and in fact low resolution images can be more interesting than many mega-pixels. Sometimes the image is more about colors and forms than anything else. Conventional rules of composition sometimes get in the way.
