Recently I upgraded to a new digital camera - a Canon G15. I wanted it for the HD video feature so I could take video of our dog in agility trials. But the photo features are a marvel too. Somehow the little computer inside will recognize faces that I have previously identified, automatically focus on them and then add their name and address to the image file! <br /><br />But it also has a way of taking multiple rapid photos and then automatically "deciding" which one is best. I don't think this is the way Cartier Bresson's camera worked. I'd love to see some of his darkroom rejects.

I like your thoughts. Photos are such story telling devices as the visual tells so much. I like how your skills of taking shots are so right on, to capture that event and the people side of the story. Your crowd in the first shot are so much leaning into the music while watching the magic makers playing those sounds. It must have been a great piece of music they were playing.L.

In a similar photo from my parent's generation, thirty years earlier, the men probably all would be in suit coats and hats, as opposed to jackets and caps. I realized, recently, not because they were more formal, but because that was the extent of their wardrobe.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-12874880701883379062013-02-18T14:42:43.391+00:002013-02-18T14:42:43.391+00:00I think I see a latent novelist hovering just beyo...I think I see a latent novelist hovering just beyond the image. "But zoom in and look at those faces, read their lives, predict their futures. Take any one of the fifteen or twenty faces in the enlargement; each one is a life, each one is a catalogue of experiences and emotions." Reads like the opening words of a novel.Wayfarin' Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806995797136803377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-15849609887615169702013-02-18T14:35:24.535+00:002013-02-18T14:35:24.535+00:00Most enjoyable picture.

It is possible to "feel" music via vibrations, but, believe me, that can't compare with the ability to "hear" music.
