We are living in interesting times. I’m not going to deny all the news about the Corona Virus scares me. It scares me a lot. However, rather than panic I am choosing to take some time and do the things that give me peace and fulfillment while at the same time keeping myself and others safe. This means getting caught up on undeveloped film and editing images that have been sitting on the back burner for way too long.
This image was made well over a decade ago when I was going through a brief period of time working exclusively with a digital camera. I was really broke, having just recently moved to a new state without a job or any real game plan. So I figured it was best not to spend money on things like film and instead just make the best of the equipment I had available to me. This meant a Canon 20D with the cheap as hell 50mm f/1.8. I actually loved that equipment combination at the time though these days it probably wouldn’t thrill me all that much.
I don’t own the camera or the lens anymore but this image has been sitting as a RAW file in my “Images to Edit” folder since the day I tripped the camera shutter. It feels good to finally get around to editing it and sharing the image here.
