Friday Slide Show: A Walk To The Mailbox

Bird Bath Through The Fence

12 December 2018

One thing leads to another. The other day as a storm was coming in from the Pacific, we thought we'd beat the rain by walking briskly over to the Post Office to pay a bill.

But once we'd dropped the envelope in the slot we thought better of rushing back to the bunker. We had escaped, after all. Surely there was some adventure awaiting us.

We had a little Micro Four Thirds camera with us. And it had that Twist 60 lens whose color we like so much, thanks to an adapter that mated the Nikon F mount to the Micro Four Thirds body.

Why not wander around a bit?

Well, the in-coming storm, for one thing. But we had two defenses. A water-repellent hooded jacket and a transit card. We might get sprinkled but not doused.

So we walked down to Noe Valley to see what was new on the theory it might be a stop on the Christmas shopping tour. Not so much, we discovered, with the more interesting shops like toy stores, bike shops, the stained glass gallery and a few other being replaced by offices and boutiques. Ugh.

Wait a Minute ...

10 December 2012

It would almost always catch us by surprise. We'd advance the film on our Nikon FM2 only to find out we'd already taken the last shot.

Sometimes that happens in life, too.

After 13 years as the editor of the Imaging Resource Newsletter, we have parted ways. It's going one way, we're going another.

We wish the company well and remain grateful for the opportunity to discuss our passion for getting the picture with each reader who welcomed such a long email every two weeks in their inbox.

But as we used to tell our (usually) patient subject when we realized we had to put a new roll of film in the camera, "Wait a minute!"

Because we aren't done yet.

And this publication is our way of continuing to discuss our passion for getting the picture. We have several reviews in progress, covering tablet software, new image editing software for the desktop, LED lighting and more.

And this is where you'll be able to read about it.

So we hope you'll join us as we publish here at Photo Corners. If you like the idea, support us with a sponsorship or a subscription. Both come with some benefits right away and more to follow.
