Light Installation

Light Installation - Lunar Festival, Granville St. - This light installation was part of an art exhibit in connection with the Vancouver Olympics. I continue to be impressed with how film handles light. I had started shooting this sculpture with a tripod... but am continually frustrated with the restrictions of a tripod. Besides... I don't want my photos to look like Uncle Al's! I switched over to my 50mm fixed lens and shot these photos hand held. Love that lens!

Brendan Fraser on Film

"I'm hanging onto my 35mm like an M6 - you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead knuckles. But the reality is that now everything is digital... it's the difference between taking one shot and getting it, and taking many of them, sort of spraying shots, and hoping there's something there. Photography, in my humble view, is becoming a lost art. I've been to photo shoots with prominent photographers who have assistants working for them who don't know what an f-stop is. It's true. They just know you press the automatic button and it goes."
