The whole way down I could not make out another pilot in the cockpit. You always see two people in there, even if its a female who is shorter. This was really weird, but on a separate note I really wanted to catch this livery at sunset before they disappear for the appalling Continental-United mutant paint.

Fujifilm Single Use Camera
ISO 400
This series was taken using single use cameras; the scanned photos were edited in Lightroom, though I left many aspects of the original film images intact (e.g., the grain/unsharpness, and lens defects). It is often said that a photographer should be able to create effective images with any camera, but one rarely puts oneself to the test. One function of this exercise was thus to force myself to practice seeing using a very humble instrument: a camera for which the ISO is fixed, the aperture is fixed, the focal length is fixed, and even the point of focus is fixed (and, at that, often of poor calibration). Like the image of an object underwater, the subject through the viewfinder on such a camera is not quite where it appears, and one must guess at the true field of view. A far cry from a modern digital camera, though an echo of the sorts of cameras I had access to as a child! To be effective with such an instrument demands that one's craft transcend the limits of the tool. Different audiences may or may not agree on whether I accomplished that, but it is a task worth attempting every now and again.
In all honesty, another - more petty - reason for this series was fatigue with the endless cycle of hardware critique. I love tools, and the distinctive affordances of different tools, but tools suffice for neither craft nor art. As wonderful as it is to have fancier lenses, better sensors, and other modern conveniences, the great photographers of earlier decades did amazing work with technology that is in some ways eclipsed by a modern cell phone camera. To tell eager new photographers that they need $20,000 worth of the latest gear to make acceptable art is at best a cruel hoax, and at worst a way of keeping them from realizing their potential. Being of perverse bent, such debates motivated me to see what I could do with the worst possible equipment. I hope that the results reinforce the eternal point that the camera does not make the image, and that art can be done with whatever instrument is at hand.
