Think you can handle a camera?

written by dav.d

You have seen it happen.  Perhaps you have done it yourself.  You want a group picture of everyone – but someone has to take the picture.  So you recruit a passer by to take a photo for you – and most often they are happy to oblige.

I have done this on occasion – but my camera – it sort of freaks people out.  It is huge – there are buttons everywhere.  There are two shutter buttons come to think of it.  And you have to look through a viewfinder instead of the LCD screen.  And often I am using a prime lens – and you have to zoom by walking back and forth.  Oh the humanity!

Here is one photo from this past weekend.  I was shooting a model for T.F.C.D. ( Time for CD ) and I asked if he could take a quick photo of me.  He was more than happy to do so – he even mentioned he rather liked being behind the camera.  Maybe we found a new Ansel Adams.

And yes my hair is going grey – if it is going grey I wish it would go full Anderson Cooper grey – and stat!
