I'm enjoying these so much... This one brought back a long lost childhood memory: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YUrw6ooCZj4/SvS5uw-Jd3I/AAAAAAAAA4o/_YTbF1XMse0/s1600-h/28.jpg
One thing that I think we unconsciously take away from these images is something you don't see nearly as much today: the perspective of a waist level camera. Since the SLR, I would wager that the majority of images are taken from standing eye level... probably between 5' & 6' for most people. Waist level would put it mostly between 3' & 4' (and lower) I would guess. I think there is something to that perspective that gives us an upspoken feeling of yesteryear (in addition to the obviously yesteryear subject matter and black & white). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
