This blog post does not have picture to go with it. I am sorry.

Actually it is preparatory.

You see a have traded my faithful 17-40L for a 10-22.

I am still feeling shaky about it. But I needed wider. Now I have wider.

It feels cheap compared to the L. But on the whole not too bad. Just not as good. In fact it is definitely the cheapest build of any of my lenses. But it is WIDE. So I have a few "Scapes" in mind to try it out on.

You will see.

Soon.

Lomo

Lomography: The art of taking bad pictures.

Take technical perfection out of photography and you get lomography(Lomo). It is a way of expressing the emotions you feel toward scene or subject, better than with the traditional focus(pun intended) of photographic methods.

Do I have preference? Or an opinion? Yes. When I am feeling generous I see lomo like the impressionist artists of old.

But except for the occasion pinhole shot(See picture on the left) I'll stick to traditional methods.

The reason in Black and White

I have been shooting alot in black and white. Why?

Is it that I am trying new creative styles?

Am I trying to catch variations that are lost in color?

I am making a tribute to the glory days of photography?

Wishing I was shooting Tri-X?

No.

I am being abjectly lazy.

Busy really.

I am a couple of months from graduating.

I am not spending my time either watching for or correcting colors.

Just simplifying my life.

Its temporary.
