be my, be my








tsk. i know:
the "sweet spot" on the top image is mi-ni-scule and hovers awkwardly somewhere in the corner of a shutter, but the lensbaby - mounted as it is on a lovely old nikon - has been an exercise in coordination, faith and patience.
an analog camera means no preview, no review, no tossing away; it also means
finishing the roll and waiting for processing and then discovering that i need a lot more practise before i am rewarded with wonderfulness like this.
and this.

    Nice, very experimental and very good. It is good to see you experimenting again.

    Isn't the Lensbaby wonderful? I like how it forces you into a very different way of working. Great picture, Lynn!

    He lynn, thanks for your comments on the lensbaby on the beach pic :)
    I do love your first and last photo though! Great work. Are you able to mount it on a digital camera?

    I like the "Noord-Holland" touch of these photos; the town hall of the first one is indeed a wonderful miracle of 17th century architecture.

    I like them! And isn't it wonderful to give ourselves over to the process while letting go of the outcome (a la the instant outcome of digital)? ;)

    these are so inspiring - i have been leary of getting one since I would have to use it with film but after seeing these, I am thinking that some experiment could be worthwhile.
    gorgeous feel to these ... so lovely!

    Great effect, esp. the chairs and glasses. Maybe we all should go back to analog sometimes to better appreciate the digital.
