This is the last shot of Valley of the Gods that might be worth
showing. Since you all have been kind enough to give me your feelings
on The Pyramid, hopefully you will do so here.
This shot uses the haze as a way to convey shapes and distances. Let
me know what you think.
Hi Alan
thanks for some more insight into your ideas and working style, it was an
interesting reading for me.
I'm looking forward to see some of your painter's pole photos here as PESO
;-)
That would be interesting...

pretty well committed to a work process that leaves lots
Hi Bruce ...
This doesn't do much for me either. The first thing that I noticed is that
the right part (the bow) of the submarine has been truncated rather
abruptly. I think I'd like the pic better if the gradual taper could be
seen in its entirety. The almost monochromatic look leaves me
Although I don't find this picture as attractive to look at as some of
your more colourful Monument Valley shots, it certainly works as intended
in so far as you have made effective use of the haze.

I suggest another deal. I'll send you a 43 mm with all the distortions
attached for free and you send me back one of your Leica's and one of
your Leica
Hi Bruce
I need a little break from your Valley theme.
I will much more appreciate them after a while, at the moment, my comments
would not be justified. That's why I did not write a word until now.
I hope you understand what I mean...
greetings

I recently read where Pentax had taken out a patent (or patents) on a
rangefinder camera. Maybe in 2004?
Does anyone know if this will ever come to fruition?
Why now? Very interesting...
Are they really planning to bring out a rangefinder film
