People and their cameras. Is there a relationship ...

Sep 11, 2014,05:25 AM
 

or is it just a tool? I guess some of us here have a relationship with (at least) one camera. Especially owners of a Leica are affected quite often, but not only smile

To observe people in "special" situations (taking pictures/selfies for example) is something I like a lot and some time ago I started to collect pictures from the internet - people with their/a camera.

Thought some of you might like them as well and therefore I prepared them all in the same way.

I will show them in two parts and the first one is: Ladies and their cameras ...



































 


 


















































































































































































































































































Some of the ladies are (probably) known and some are unknown, but I think this is not the interesting part here ...

Let me know what you think about.

Oliver

I normally use three cameras (not Leica, I grew up with a SLR): 1) iPhone 5S with CP Pro and iOS iPhoto for quick and dirt shots. 2) Canon EOS M (the best camera for the money) as walk by camera. 3) Canon Mark II for static / tripod / macro shots. Since d... 

very nice!

Is there a relationship: people and their tools?

Most likely at multiple levels... double / triple entendre aside... so easy to be distracted when in fact there is subtly afoot. " ... the ability to master certain tasks in a state of distraction proves that their solution has become a matter of habit. D... 

As promised, part II: Gentlemen and their cameras ...

And a lot of work as well! To find all those images and then to drop it into the polaroid frame and then to save it… thank you for your hard work. I like the image of the woman/celebrity in the car above Scarlett. She for got to take the cap off … or perh...

The pictures I have collected over a long time and always thought it could be nice to do a post about. Obviously they all looked kind of different and so I decided to present them all in the same way. This time I have chosen "Polaroid style" - good or bad... 

Ahhhh, Victoria Beckham, eh?

And i lost it. Damn ipad!! Just sold my M9-P so this post is quite timely. Man, i wish i could retype everything. I was in the zone! Well the relationship is both physical and philosophical... Multidimensional as Casey pointed out. You can view it in stag... 

I was fortunate to sit with a watchmaker for 90 minutes today...

For him, a watch must show movement, we must experience the passing of time rather than reference a tool that only indicates the moment... Maybe there is a similar parallel in the world of photography, as you have (in this case) "re-written". The "perspec... 

Thanks a lot Thomas and I agree on the comments.
