I’m never quite sure with the Ricoh GRDii what kind of pictures I am going to get…this time I was using the square format a bit more, on a whim, and I think I like the results, or at least the feel of it. There is a light rail that takes people around the various communities around TSW, instead of a subway, and this is one of those light rail stations. I was there in the afternoon just as the students were getting out of class.
Digital pictures, unlike film pictures, are almost never inspiring straight out of the camera; they have to be massaged into existence with photoshop or something similar…I’ve come to understand that you can’t be too hard on yourself when you check the picture you just took and it either seems too pedestrian or just boring…the nugget of something better is in there and you just have to believe and trust your own vision. And you have to believe that Photoshop is a good enough tool for revealing and elucidating that vision.
