Another summer has passed out at Antietam. I shot this image of friends with a very old film camera.  I love the 180mm on my Mamiya C-330. I’m on my second camera body after wearing out the first one which I bought in the 70′s. When you grow comfortable with a camera, it is good to stick with it. I get a lot of teasing from fellow photographers for shooting film. It has taken a long time to get a comfortable with a palette that I love.

I can’t avoid shooting kids in windows. There is always someone who wants to be a ham. RT 66 New Mexico

I have used this 135mm for over 25 years.

It takes me far out of the space I’m photographing physically while capturing a close up feel that delivers emotionally.
