MONTANA DE ORO

So these photos aren't the best quality but hey, I guess it adds character, ha. I blame it on Walmart processing and a scratched film scanner (those little lines, ARG!). A little practice and a new scanner should do the trick. But nevertheless, it was a really great day. We wandered out to Montana de Oro for a bit, one of my favorite spots, and walked around until it got too chilly. I can't wait for that summer sun to start shining!

SIMPLE

 I recently discovered a technique called free lensing, and I cannot believe I didn't know about it sooner! I am really amazed by the depth of field and light it adds to photos. I am slowly but surely easing my way back into photography, which feels good. The other day I (very impulsively) purchased a Contax RTS,  and I can't wait to get out and play around with it!

"This is the way life goes in Big Sur.  Waiting for the mail, watching the sea-lions in the surf or the freighters on the horizon, sitting in the tubs at Hot Springs, once in a  while a bit of drink- and, most of the time, working at what ever it is that you came here to work on, whether it be painting, writing, gardening or the simple art of living your own life."  Hunter S. Thompson
