serendipity

I was out shooting some night shots last night and took the NikonD80 to use as a light meter for the Yashica, the time was so slow i had to take the digital pic to count the seconds the shutter was open for. I haven’t got a clue if it will work on film until i get it developed. I liked the accident of this; zoom on, camera held out at arms length more than if i’d had it on a tripod.

    That’s beautiful, Alek. It looks like an Impressionist painting.

    A happy accident, indeed.

    Rick, of course you may have a copy, would you like a big copy or does this one suffice?
    yea it does Michael, kind of ‘Renoir lurking in the shadows of a Bonnard’
    i like happy accidents and their majikal quality

    I would like to print a small copy (3×5 or 5×7, so this file should do nicely) to put in a frame to have in the house–specifically on my nightstand so I can look at it first thing each morning and last thing each evening, to remind me I move in the world and the world moves around me.

    I love that I’m not at center. (BTW this is me you’ve captured, not that you knew that in the moment.) I also love that I appear to be looking away from center. For me, hoping, longing to see more.

    P.S: I love my hat.

    Thanks Alek, sweet offer. I suspect it belongs better with you.
