I also see someone who looks a little lost in the environment he finds himself in. That's not a bad thing. It means being open to new ideas yet firmly rooted in older ideals.<br /><br />Myself, I rarely take a camera with me. A couple of years ago we spent a week in Florida at Disney. In that week we may have taken 100 pictures and most of those were multiple shots of the same thing/time so we knew we had a least one good shot. Most of the pics were of our smiling kids. I do not remember the last time (if ever) I took a camera to one of my girls soccer games, or a school play or even to the forest. THOSE "pictures" are stored where they belong, in my head and in my heart.<br /><br />Be well, <br />SteveSteve Kubienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00238744136228089567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393817282082002537.post-29475726526217401082011-02-15T13:10:26.612-08:002011-02-15T13:10:26.612-08:00Hi Barn,

Having read your blog and facebook I was right :-)<br /><br />Will follow you online and hope to say hi again when you are next this way.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797991461749551457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393817282082002537.post-51575840725156031642011-02-13T03:40:31.046-08:002011-02-13T03:40:31.046-08:00Barn, I know what you mean.

Lots of pictures of people smiling to a camera in different locations is not something that appeals to me.<br /><br />However, I do think that a camera has a place and if it's used sympathetically then a photo can be fantastic.<br /><br />I think the key thing is to have it to hand and be able to snap a shot quickly without influencing the situation. <br /><br />Since my wife got a digital SLR camera, I have come to realise how slow our compact is to use.<br /><br />If I had a camera with the size of a compact (or I could live with one slightly larger) but the speed to shoot of an SLR then I would be a lot more happy taking pictures of people.Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984373764949891056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393817282082002537.post-8841665041966100142011-02-12T22:19:12.609-08:002011-02-12T22:19:12.609-08:00Barn,

I do look forward to sharing more time together.<br /><br />The description of the experience at the science museum is interesting and clearly way too far one end of the spectrum. Is there a middle way using a camera thoughtfully that would still fit with your technology and hassle free lifestyle? Perhaps though it may be the thin end of the wedge. If you want to try it I have a reasonable compact that is surplus to requirements I would be happy to send you, you could carry it for a few weeks and see if it was a positive or negative experience.<br /><br />I like the Spitalfields site. When the hospital was there that gave it the name in the medieval period they ate from wooden utensils and there was a remarkable archaeological excavation there which recovered about 20 near perfect medieval bowls and plates. They are occasionally on display at the Museum of London.Robin Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540543090007397534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1393817282082002537.post-54793016640192351272011-02-12T12:34:47.385-08:002011-02-12T12:34:47.385-08:00Nice couple of photos, it is a shame no one else s...Nice couple of photos, it is a shame no one else sent you any. I wish I had more of a record of some of my many lives. May be get them to photograph a piece of card with your email address on it, so when they see your photos on there computer they will also get reminded to send you them.Seanhellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475536325768589469noreply@blogger.com
