Love the shots and the location, one day maybe. my personal favorites are of the Bull Seal, S/V Cirrus, and pederson Bay. Congrats! Looking for my first Digital, the 50D is a contendder, I like the Kit (did the Cirrus come with the kit, just asking.) By the way did she sustain damage, or is it another Cirrus on YTube.

LTV was destroyed as a company.

Robin Trower!!

Trivia.
Gallipoli, they are in the trenches and get word that they are going over the top. You see them leaving their personal effects behind, very moving. What piece of music is in the background.

Neat...

I just got here, and am feeling my way around. Sorry we have not had a chance to interact and exchange ideas.

It all depends on the seat design. The lower the seat is to the ground the better, as well as a slight angle towards the back, forcing the knees to come up towards ones chest. This exerts less strain on a set of muscles that have a proclivity for herniation. This also prevents the blood vessels under the thighs from being constricted and allows one to stay for at least one full chapter without the legs starting to numb up. Actually, I cheated because I read this on a Bazooka bubble gum wrapper.

Cool, realy neat.

Got out my picture of my Karman Ghia and my lucky in country hat, hope it works.

Shame how the company was destroyed!

It was her grandchildren that came to visit and apparently I would guess, they didnt know she was not using any film.

Architect, I was fortunate to work for a Bank that had an extensive collection of his work. I befriended the Bank curator and she let me peruse through the portfolio. Through lots of cajoling, I got to have one hang “outside” my office for a while. I think that the colors remind me of some of my favorite cinematographers work, Akira Kurosawa. In one of his last efforts, Dreams a set of some wonderful vignettes, the attention to detail and color in all of them (the funeral march in the woods) was especially exquisite! In one of the vignettes, a garden/orchard scene that incorporates the typical Japanese “borrowed” background. The “gods” on the hillside with their costumes is stunning; the soft enveloping mist mutes the green hillside and at the same time intensified, and saturated the colors of the kimonos. I guess that is why I like your Valley photo, it has such a complex color scheme it evokes that visual feeling, once you “see” and “feel it”, you never forget it. AK became one of the leading figures in his field. AKs work in the movie Ran probably exemplifies his crowning achievement, a completely different genre and if you can get beyond the “martial” character, you are in for a treat, IMHO, of course.

You are probably both right to an extent. E. Porter's work would have made him on their own, it certainly helped that Stieglitz exhibited Porter's work at the American Place Gallery, and that his color work was, for its time "avant gard" as most were still in the b&w mode.

Joined this group feeling I would be comfortable here as a newbie to Digital(phone camera to date) and explore the direction I should go in if I am to keep up with photo technology, and not miss the Millennium Falcon as it does not make too many round trips. If not, I go back and restart my pottery and watercolor classes and start some serious practice on my old archery set, if I am to survive the winters. So far, I have not been disappointed and have had great fun commenting on general chatter, but nothing fundamentally or digitally profound. Everyone I have come across in all the sections I have visited has been very generous and has given everyone that has asked for help courteous and good advice without being on an ego trip. I have gotten some good advice from several people as well, as to where I should begin my journey, other than hitting the reset button. (Just kidding). I have been, for the most part an analog person all my life I guess due in part to my reliance on my hands and the need for touch smell etc. Maybe that is why my tastes in all that I have taken an interest been “mechanical or hands on” for lack of better words rather than electronic. I miss the ability to do a basic floor plan with pencil, pen and be able to control the density and dimension of the lines I put down, I guess to draw. I enjoy my music and yes, it is an out of control LP collection. I like Sailboats and sailplanes rather than power. Overall, I would describe myself as a well-rounded man from the Pleistocene era. Thank you all for your wonderful comments. Below, an early relative, I guess the similarity is quite apparent with my avatar.

Sad, all you can think of are your own elders. You just want to wrap your arms about them, sometimes, they are so inocent as they get that age, I thought then. Now I kind of wince when my daughter gives me a hugg and kind of pats me on the head. But it was just yesterday.....
