Changing environment is not that easy. We miss our longtime friends and our familiar milieu. Of course the positive aspect of the move is that I now have will find new subjects for my photography, which I am certain will result in a new way of seeing your surrounding environment. So lets see how my pictures will change.

I enjoy this one Mike. It amazes me the quality of the images taken by cell phones now. Cheers! Dave
I agree with your comment Dave. Yes I started to use my phone more but because I don’t have the top of the line iPhone or the Samsung phone there are certain restriction but I have learned to work within these restrictions. The same of course happens with cameras. I use what people refer to as “point and shoot” cameras. However I use those now exclusively . The quality is superb so why by a big slr while you can shoot great pictures with cameras like the old Fujifil Fujifilm X100 T, which I still use or the Fujifilm X70. The quality as I said is great however you have to learn to work with a fixed 35 mm lens. However remember that Cartier Bresson photographed almost exclusively with a 50 mm lens. I like to recommend the short videos of a Swiss photographer Tomasz Trzebiatowski on Youtube. I am certain you will enjoy him. His latest video are two new interesting from this weekend. Another Youtube site I can highly recommend is The Photographic Eye.Let me know what you think.
Hey Mike, I really enjoy cityscapes, and architectural type images. Unfortunately, if I tried to go downtown here, my chances of getting mugged would be about 100%. This is a dangerous city, and the only reason I belong to the local camera club is to enjoy an evening out with some friends. Club rules are so restrictive they drive me nuts. As a result of adherence to the rules of competition, they miss out on what I call "the loveliness quotient" of an image. For many years, I used Fujifilm cameras, as the lenses were top notch for sharpness and contrast. I now use Sony DSLR/T as they took over all of the Minolta line when they bowed out. Most of my equipment, I bought at a greatly reduced price from B&H and Adorama in New York, as used equipment, and they have served me very well. But at 82, I think my days of making big camera purchases are over. I shoot for my little blog that I still post to, and most of my images nowadays are from my back yard, or items around the house. I am a care giver, so I do not go too far anymore. Great to have you back, and I will enjoy your photographic transitions...Cheers! Dave
