[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I, too, have many images I love taken with everything from Holga's to pinhole camera's. Lots of images from Bronica ETRS, Mamiya 645, Mamiya 6, C330, Rollei TLR, Rollei 6001 SRC, Canon's,Yashica's, Hasselblad's, etc.... oh, yeah, now even with Leica's!!! What's interesting is when you are forced to work with an unfamiliar system, one tends to think about the photography more. When shooting with a new format, composition becomes more deliberate. There is (I would think) a world of difference in the way someone who has always shot a Leica M , approaches picture taking with a Hasselblad (or other) medium format system. The process becomes much more 'defined'. When one is familiar with one's equiptment, well, "famialiarity can breed contempt"!! Bob Keene (who is very deliberate with his M camera, because it's still new to him!) >------------------------------ > >Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 08:46:18 -0500 >From: csocolow <csocolow@microserve.net> >Subject: Re: [Leica] photgraphy > >allan jay silver wrote: >> >> Quite a number of years ago during a Photography class we were given an >> assignment.
