James' Juneway Alley Photos

I never really liked 35mm film or rather, I never bothered to learn the rules. I like the way film looks and feels. But, I like digital photo cameras better because I know the language and there are immediate results. I'm an impatient artist and I want to examine my work immediatley. With digital I can. There is something so pleasing exciting and outrageous about clicking a picture and seeing it immediatley pop into view at the rear of the camera body. Imagine this fifteen years ago. who would have thunk that we might edit our photo shoot with a few buttons at the back of our camera body. immediatley. The cheek, the arrogance, the speed, the unlikley possibility was unimaginable to me. (Maybe I would have developed my craft, if i knew the technology would be different. ) Even now, i'm uneasy I'm sure something will go wrong and cause me to lose the image, it is after-all untouchable, at least until it is printed. Beautiful! Especially the Canon, I've used a Canon for years and I know my way around the menus. I like telling stories with pictures and that is it for me. Photography is powerful because it's one picture at a time. Each little picture is like a little painting with colors and textures and chunks. Forground chunks and backround chunks. I'm learning to talk about this stuff...not so well.
