Photography's great for being able to do a lot with a small amount of gear. Talent get people more work than gear. Great word on not going into debt.

]]> Comment on Vancouver Photo Walk! by Chris http://www.plantephotography.com/2009/07/worldphotowalk_0/comment-page-1/#comment-520 Chris Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:21:43 +0000 http://www.plantephotography.com/?p=373#comment-520 Thanks for dropping by, Shari. I am an amateur as well. Yes, there is tons to learn. I have David's WTF and Visionmongers. They are great books for the "why". I will join Napp this year to learn more of the "how". FYI, the video of the photowalk was not mine, David shot it. Don't worry, I am sure there will be another walk next year. Besides, there are lots of people, when you find them, like to do photowalks. They are really fun, creative, social event. It's just hard sometimes to fit a walk into our busy lives. Some of us DuChemin readers did get together for a walk last year. It was fun. I hope to initiate another walk probably in July. Thanks for dropping by, Shari. I am an amateur as well. Yes, there is tons to learn. I have David’s WTF and Visionmongers.

I saw you were from Canada and thought I would check where. Ended up here. I live in Vancouver. Love your video. I wanted to go in that walk but did not know where to look at the time. I am just a amateur hobbiest but am learning. I belong to NAPP. I got David's book Within the Frame for Christmas. Your photography looks great. Just thought I would say hi.

It suited my "painted light" self-projects just fine. I purchased it about 8 years ago for dirt cheap. I have shot through about 20 of 36 frames with Ilford 100 B/W. If anything comes out decent, I would be sure to post them. Rob, I have Maginon 18-24mm/f4 on the OM-10 right now. It suited my “painted light” self-projects just fine.

After having my dad's OM1 for years and not really using it, I gave it to my brother who already has some 20 plus film cameras to include Hasselblads 's and Leicas. That was 10 years ago. A few weeks ago, a lady walked into my shop and gave me a mint condition OM1 with the 50 1.8, 70-200 Viivtar zoom, and a Canon 70-200 FD zoom. Sweet. Given I have a Zukio 50 MM 3.5 macro that is incredible, I am so ready to do still lifes and what not with it shooting Ekctar 100 or some of the chromes from Kodak and Fuji. Chris - it will be nice to see some of your new stuff with your OM10. Do you have or recommend a decent wide angle for it? I would love to have a good 24 MM right now.
