Has anyone seen the new "Oba the Last Samurai" movie? Any thoughts? It was a movie and not a documentary so many parts didn't make sense. This picture was given to me by my friend Al Sando who was stationed here when the event took place.
Yeah, it's back in Sarasota. 'It' being J. Seward Johnson's 25-foot-tall statue depicting the kiss in Times Square taken by the late Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 14, 1945 (VJ Day). I guess this was on display in Times Square as part of some 60th anniversary of the end of WWII celebration. It left New York and spent some time in Sarasota in 2005, apparently. Then it went to San Diego, where I first saw it while attending Comic-Con in 2007. Now it's back. A massive PDA. In this scale you pretty much can't help looking up her skirt. It always seems like a work that should be part of a miniature golf course or something.
The D700 is a remarkable camera, BTW. A much better tool than I am a tradesman. But in a way that everyone kind of deserves to have when they take a photograph. That roll of Ektachrome when you'd been used to Kodacolor kind of thing. It becomes an invisible friend that makes you feel more affectionate towards the way your camera saw the light. Hard to go back to Kodacolor after that, you know? Chips and pipelines like this will be all over the place before you know it, though.
Tonight I shot in really contrasty lighting at night. I wasn't overjoyed with what I got, but it was OK. I didn't look at it and sigh. Or at least not because of the way the camera saw the light I presented to it. Nikon may have used toying around with creatively clipping the blacks or any other number of things to make the D700 more forgiving in terms of apparent latitude and ISO response. I honestly don't know. It may be a terrible technical camera for your precision industrial or astrophotographic needs, but as something to shoot non-precision photographs it's got a way of rendering images that seems very pleasant to me.
Things seem to be much less electronic/video-y in the way contrast transitions are handled. I'm sure the curves I'm using are responsible, too. Overall the "unprocessed" RAW images are the least offensive aesthetically that I've dealt with. I don't have any idea how it is to work with digital medium format or scanning backs, though.

"Time is running out... Here comes the Mandalorian backup..." Machelon said to Zaakkar...
"Surrender, Jedi and maybe you won't die..." Ko-Katan was in mid-sentence when a Jedi Starfighter landed among them...
"Machelon, Zaakkar GO! I will hold them off!" Shouted Grandmaster Trask...
"It's suicide Grandmaster," both his apprentice and oldest friend said...
"If I die, I die a Jedi! Now GO!" Trask wasn't requesting he was ordering...
"We live to fight another day," said Zaakkar to Machelon...
"No, you go Zaakkar I am staying with..." He was interrupted midsentence...
"NO apprentice! If I die I die, you are pivotal in thisss conflict as you are both Jedi and Mandalorian WE NEED YOU!!! NOW GO!" Trask
demanded of his young apprentice...
"May the Force be with you Master... As I do believe we will meet again..." Machelon said sadly not truly believing what he just said...
"May the Force be with you asss well my Padawan... I will misssss you... Now GO!" Trask shouted yet again...
As Machelon and Zaakkar began to leave Darth Demise, Darth Malice, Ko-Katan and her Clan of Katan Warriors approached...
"Demissse, so nice to meet you at last... You will pay for killing both my friends Karaga and JuJu Jargon..." said Trask...
"Funny you're the one making the demands when I have an apprentice that hasn't left me and an army..." Darth Demise shot back...
"I am a Grandmaster, I do not fear Sith Lords such as you..." Trask retorted...
"Numbers are always an ally... But I will do this myself..." Said Demise as he ignited his lightsaber... "I will spell your demise... Jedi!"
As he said those words the Jedi Starfighter left with Trask's only way of escape... He would die a Jedi... But not by the hands of Demise...

Okay. So, were down in the underground, waitin' for the tube after deciding that the Olde City scene wasn't happening for us. I get Nik in the frame and fire. Out comes the fare collector from the booth and tells me "Let that be the last picture you take down here tonight. Ever since 9-1-1 they've been enforcing a no pictures rule down in the subways. If you wanna take one more that's fine".
What?!!!! What are you talkin' about dude? I've been shootin' in the underground since last November when I first got a camera. You're the first person, official or otherwise who's mentioned anything about a subway photography ban. What? Am I gonna send some images to my terrorist cell member friends and plot an attack?
I didn't say these things, I was merely thinking them. What I did was look back at him with a sad look in my eyes and turn off the D50 and put the lens cap back on, letting my civil liberty go away. I should have protested. If I don't stand up for my rights then I'll be in danger of losing them.
While I thought it was ridiculous and not helping to make people safer, I did comply immediately and without protest. I don't remember if I even answered him back. What a messed up experience that was.
