This was my first camera. I got it when I was four years old. It belonged to my father. He took my baby pictures with it. He died when I was two years old.
For five years I viewed the world through the ground glass of his Yashica, trying reconnect with him. When I was nine years old, I earned yard mowing money and finally bought film. My first prints were pitiful black blurry images. But I learned and got better.
I took this camera to my first photography class in college. It was my only camera, and by then I was proficient with it. Electronics were just making their way into SLRs at the time, and the Canon AE1 was the hot ticket. My camera was made fun of and I dropped the class after the first day. I never took another photography class.
Today I shoot with anything in my hands. I don't care if it's a camera phone or a Hasselblad. They are all just tools. Except this camera. It is still special. It is magic.

"After you go so far away from it, though, you can’t really get it back. You can have seconds of it. Just seconds of knowing and remembering. When people get weepy at movies, it’s because in that dark theater the golden pool of magic is touched, just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heartsad and not knowing why. When a song stirs a memory, when motes of dust turning in a shaft of light takes your attention from the world, when you listen to a train passing on a track at night in the distance and wonder where it might be going, you step beyond who you are and where you are. For the briefest of instants, you have stepped into the magic realm."
-Robert McCammon
I wish there are more "magic moments" in my life,and wish my friends in Flickr have a good day~

Here I go again.... Playing with fire this time LOL :D
Kids don't try this at home!
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
At twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me
But I guess that it goes with the territory.
Anonymous landscape of never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear. I need you to see.
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Not two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D
And thinking so much differently.
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Never be the same... --Incubus

Schooner: "WHEN and IF" - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - The Florida Keys - 12/5/20
*[newcomer to the harbor-fleet this year! She's beautiful!]
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - classic lines - afterglow]
*[I'm doing a Key West Harbor Boat Series 2020.....so bear
with me for a little bit. There were lots of really awesome boats,
ships and beautiful sailing vessels this year! Thanks for looking]
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.
The 'WHEN and IF' is a beautiful addition to the Key West Fleet!

This was taken in an old shop in Kemptown, Brighton called "Magic". It had some strange and interesting stuff - sadly now gone.
This hallway of Lavender is in the small forest where the flowers hang by a lattice and makes for a stunning visual space to walk through. Figured my masculine avatar got to wear the crown, why not the Andro one?
The crown came from my wonderful friend Ylva who thought I might find it good to wear and it has led to creating a little bit of visual magic.
The song "Magic" was a huge hit for Olivia Newton John from the Xanadu Movie & Soundtrack. It's the kind of magic of being together with the right person.
Favorite Words come from the opening :
"Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you"
This was my little pose, no post process as viewed in BlackDragon viewer.

We started pretty early in the morning to be at the spot when the first soft rays of light were kissing the stone walls of the magic castle. As the flag was fluttering in the wind, it was a struggle to stabilize the camera. But as everyone knows, when the flag is raised, the knight is at home. Thanks to Nicky and Patrick for joining me on the trip. Greetings to Barbara and Roman, two fellow photographers we met on location.

Shot with a Pentax K-1000 using TRI-X pushed 2 or 3 stops.
This shot is about 20 years old. It was my first time visiting the Mohonk area, and the fog had just started to lift as we approached the lake. I think I was pushing the film to 1600 maybe 3200. This is a scan from a 4x6 print and all the grain you see is natural, analog film grain.
It was a magic day, and I have many great shots (and memories) from that day.
