The photos tell it all.  

Minolta 50mm prime

Posted on December 28, 2015December 28, 2015 blackhoundLeave a commentPosted in Blog, Photography

This time of year the Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7 gets its chance to really shine. At Longwood Gardens. This lens is a terrific prime and should be in the collection of everyone who shoots with an A-mount. It can be had for approximately $50.00 on eBay. Worth every penny. Not just for the f/1.7 but also […]

Wishing everyone the Best of the Winter Season! technical notes: A photoshop creation from various bits and bobs of winter scenes. I have always loved the C.S. Forester Hornblower novels, particularly Flying Colours, spanning a winter spent in France.

Ave! Solstice! As if signaling that the Sun is indeed on his return run, the weather for Solstice was warm and sunny in a region where at this time of year there should be cold and snow. I BATHED in the sunshine. I frequently wonder why I live in this region at all because I […]

Intense emotion is stressful, and we look to artists to feel for us, to suffer and rejoice, to describe the heights of their passionate response to life so that we can enjoy them from a safe distance and get to know better what the full range of human experience really is. We may not choose to live out the extremes of consciousness we find...but it's wonderful to peer into them. We look to artists to stop time for us, to break the cycle of birth and death and temporarily put an end to life's processes. It is too much of a whelm for any one person to face up to without going into sensory overload. Artists, on the other hand, court that intensity. We ask artists to fill our lives with a cavalcade of fresh sights and insights, the way life was for us when we were children and everthing was new. ~~ Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
