If anyone is up for an epic #photography adventure, Michael Shainblum had some cancellations on New Zealand master class. I really enjoyed his Oregon class. He’s a good guy, too.

There is a small mountain lake behind that rock, and I was moving over to setup a photo. I saw people climbing, and I was thinking I will just chill until they are done. Then, he climbed up on top. It is not clear to me that he knew how much the top was cantilevered over the significant drop.

Beautiful images. You expertly extracted magic with those lenses.

I’ve been playing with a couple new copies of old lens TTArtison 75mm, f/1.5 and Voigtlander 75mm, f/1.5. They definitely have a look, particularly wide open.

Does explaining my process (in which I found the spot and waited for 15 minutes for right person) and thoughts (in which I like the juxtaposition of the building replacement, the guy with cell phone in front of phone booth, the color contrast, and the missed connection) make the photo better?
