It's really easy to fall into the trap of "there's nothing interesting here to photograph" just because you're so used to everything that it just doesn't seem special. I suspect that just about anybody in the PDML could visit another member's home town, and find weeks worth of things to photograph. Except for your neighborhood. There's nothing interesting to photograph there. You might as well invest in a macro lens and start doing a macro study of the hair in the armpits of drunks. > > Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about the time I spent there, and > what I would've done differently if I'd known then what I know now.

You had fun, you got some good pictures, and you've got a better idea of what to do the next time you head out. You also have more incentive to come out to the left coast again. Maybe I'll host my own version of Grandfather mountain. Invite people out to the family estate sometime for "cranky bastard valley" or something. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
