They say that the mindset of shooting film is slower than that of digital. For me, this was true, or at least I realized that I started to think differently.
This is the first shot I took.
I saw the Verizon truck when I pulled into the parking lot and saw one man outside. As I was approaching the parking meters to pay for my spot, I saw that there were two men. While at the meter, I saw they they were starting to move the ladders off the top of the truck. There were two and one had been moved as I was paying at the meter.
One ladder remained.
As I waited for one of the men to hopefully come back and get the other ladder, I framed the shot so that I would know exactly where to stand to get in him the archway. When he came back, I waited to raise the camera to my face until I saw him get the ladder.
In all fields, students are often told, "Study the work of the masters!" Henri Cartier-Bresson talks about "the decisive moment," and while taking a ladder of a truck isn't a decisive moment in history, taking that picture and seeing that moment frozen on a piece of film made me realize that whatever work the masters created, with gear that was far less sophisticated than my 20 megapixel fast(ish) digital camera, took real mastery.

Effed my subframe up today. Do I regret being low? No. Not at all. Especially after all the looks and comments on the car while it was sitting there.
My husband, Sid, and I went driving through the countryside looking for autumn colors to photograph. After being thrown off the grounds of a mental institution (long story!), we ended up just off the court square of a nearby town. Sid waited patiently while I shot so many photos of some beautiful trees.
The Xtracycle conversion kit arrived a few days ago; here it is in relation to the "donor" bike (my 1993 Raleigh Amazon) so you can see how far back it is going to stretch the bike.
I'll do a rough-fit assembly next week sometime, and then buy a few replacement parts to set it up properly; it'll need a new chain for starters...
I was able to reuse my urethane locking collars since they're able to deform to accomodate the slight misalignment.
The P72 is a new model from the house of De Tomaso, and commemorates the 60th anniversary of the "De Tomaso" brand. It is intended to be built in a total quantity of 72 units, and is designed in part as an homage to the original De Tomaso P70. However, this new P72 is constructed with cutting edge materials & technology. Carbon Fiber is used for the central monocoque chassis, as well as subframes and FIA LMP required crash structures. This will be the first production chassis to be designed and constructed in that way.
That original P70 was designed by Alejandro de Tomaso with input & influence by Carroll Shelby.
