The Old, The New, and The Tools

OK, what is this? While sitting across from this "mix of stuff" I realized it was an interesting juxtaposition of the old, the new, and some of the tools used. In the foreground an old print of an old friend sits. She happens to be painting her mailbox at the time, and the time was mid 1970's. A b/w 8x10 print I shot on a Minolta SRT102 on Kodak Tri-X film which I had processed and printed in a darkroom I had built in my basement.

 

Off in the distance, "the new," a new b/w image matted and framed, and awaiting to be wrapped up and given as a gift. That one shot on the Nikon you see on the right.

 

The tools in the middle, an old Canon 50D, and still very useable, and many of the photos of mine seen here on Flickr were shot with it. Mounted on it is one of Canon's best L lenses, their 24-105, F/4 lens. To the right of that sits our Nikon D850, an absolute joy of a camera, and on it sits our go-to 24-70 F/2.8 Nikon lens.

 

As I sat and looked at all this I thought it be an interesting time machine of a shot, nothing special maybe, but interesting to me. This shot was done on an iPhone.
