RE: First of the Roll | Two Jack Lake, Banff, AB | Expired 35mm Kodak 200
Although I like the picture, I must say, that I'm fascinated by the intricate details of the picture. The history, the materials, the hardware...They are mundane, yet you somehow made them interesting.
By bringing those details to the fore, you give people who are not photographers some insight into what a photog thinks about at night when the day is done.
You seem like someone who would find joy in using a camera manufactured in the 1950's to capture a moment today, and then revel in the quality of the photo that is produced from hardware older than most of us.
That enthusiasm is rather contagious. :)
I absolutely agree with your last paragraph! I love the beautiful engineering that went into some of those older cameras, and it's a thrill to create beautiful photos with a camera much older than I am. I don't have anything very old at this time, probably my Yashica TLR, or perhaps a Pentax SLR.
