January 28, 2017 8152 Canon 50D Available light in the kitchen – “E” and I took a moment for cups of tea this afternoon. It’s the kind of cold overcast day that invites hunkering down (and naps). Alas, no naps, but a nice quiet afternoon with soft, even light. Here,
January 27, 2017 8132 I’ve posted images for this 365 project taken with both 50mm lenses that I own. It seemed only appropriate to highlight the lenses themselves at some point. This evening, I wanted to start with the older of the two – my Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4
January 26, 2017 Hadley, MA 8114 The sun was setting and I was driving past a farm road, so I decided to pull down to see what opportunities there were for making images. While there wasn’t much of interest for landscapes, there were a few patches of field that had
January 25, 2017 8109 ISO 400 @ 1/100 50mm @ f1.4 I was feeling somewhat minimalist and still wanted to work more with the Pentax 50mm when I was searching out subjects tonight. Our bathroom is quite bright and happens to be all white too, so when I was looking

January 23, 2017 8053 Canon 50D ISO 1600 @ 1/50 Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 @f1.4 More work with available light indoors – this day I switched out my Canon 50mm STM lens for the manual focus Pentax 50mm f1.4 Super Takumar. I love the speed of the lens (f1.4!)

January 21, 2017 Holyoke, MA 7980 Temperatures climbed into the 50’s today, so “E” and I headed to Ashley Reservoir for a walk. It felt more like March, though the ice on the reservoir served as a reminder that it isn’t. This view between the trees caught my eye both
January 20, 2017 7954 Today was inauguration day – As this day approached, I wrestled with a host of emotions – in particular, a strong sense of hopelessness and insignificance.
