the old boy came back
Nikon F2 Photomic, black body (1975) with Nikkor 50 mm, F2.
It might not be a common case, but my first camera was Nikon F2 Photomic. My father bought me the Nikon more than thirty years ago, although he was not a rich man. The Nikon was too good for me at that time (probably still now), and I could not effectively utilize the camera. I did not use it very much (another reason was its weight, it is very heavy), later I bought much cheaper compact film and digital cameras to take snap shots. But since then I felt a vague sense of guilt that I have not used such a high-quality camera much.
This spring I bought my third compact digital camera (Canon Powershot G10). I began to really like the camera, and I started taking photos constantly and joined Flickr. My sense of guilt about the Nikon was growing, as I take photos by myself and see photos of others at Flickr. Finally the last weekend I took out the Nikon from a drawer, and observed it carefully for the first time in about twenty five years. Although the light seal gaskets spoiled, the mirror, prism and lens seemed to be OK. I cleaned the inside, and put batteries and a film. And, I went outside and took some test shots. Behavior of the exposure meter was slightly awkward, but let's see what happens. Anyway, now I feel relieved a little bit.
Grafitti outside my work
I was working late one evening, when I worked in Glasgow, and I saw the young artists creating this image on the wall in the back lane.
I wanted so badly to take their picture while they worked (while they were disguised, no doubt) as it would have been a perfect shot but I knew they would run away as soon as I opened the back door.
I keep thinking that the lower line of the jaw is the mouth line and the black lips are actually the moustache. However, I do like the overall look of this piece.
I took the picture as sneakily as I could from the back window, with no flash, in the darkness. The camera I used was my little, Nikon, digital compact.
