Last night inspired by photographer on a phone call I set up The Smartflex 3445 a 4x5 Inch SLR camera made in prototype numbers in 2024. This camera created by Zhuoyao Chen was a Kickstarter project now available to buy. Not only is it a new camera, also there is The Smartnon 178mm f/2.5 a new lens too. 4x5 cameras and lenses are not a mass market products and there are not a great many being made. The older models can be refurbished and repaired. The Smartflex 3445 has a new shutter mechanism. This can bring further life to lenses without a shutter and open up new photographic techniques to an accurate modern mechanical shutter.
This is a rough portrait. I handheld a coloured light source toned to match a Lee filter scale and at 1/125 of a second with ISO at 800 for this picture. This result shows that there is a lot more available from the lens and camera that I have only just begun to use. After a quick edit I also set the portrait as a painting.

What weighs more?
In one hand still unopened and unread book of world's history, in the other hand a random bunch of beautiful and informative books.They speak of secret societies, dream psychology and therapy, a short history of the world, a world atlas, huge dictionary and a something more.
There could have been also books of religions, medicine, something of biology and technology mythology and space and other million themes, but it is not physically possible.
The idea is clear I guess.
Setting standards too high often leads to a feeling of not being enough. If the goal is always to achieve everything extraordinarily, much pressure builds up quickly because not achieving equals failure quite often. A narrow field of vision frequently causes another problem: tunnel vision - a one-way street where compromises are rare.
However, if there is no room to experiment, the beauty of coincidences will always stay unknown. Though the small surprises sometimes sweep through life like a storm and mess things up, they often let everything shine in new splendor that makes being so vibrant.

We didn't stay long in Monument Valley. The rental car we had was not suited for the rutted, rough 17 mile road that circuits the valley, and we did not want to pay $70 each for a Navajo guide. The sky was clear and the light was harsh. Some other time perhaps. There are so many attractions in the area of equal or better beauty, that are free and easily accessed anyway. Although it is certainly nice to see this iconic place, where so many western movies were filmed, and so many great photos were taken.
We are an ever-changing harmony. At one moment, we are scared, at the next one, we are excited, then we are estranged. Change is necessary to grow and to see how much we have done, and how much we have yet to do. Be the change, because life is a change. Nothing lasts forever.

Can you imagine a world were we did not look at the colour of someone skin or their religion and looked at them as equals. Why do we have to imagine?????

Today is Autumnal Equinox...when the Sun is exactly above the Equator, when the backyard squirrel is perfectly balanced, and when day and night are of equal length.
