“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed, and is, thereby, a true manifestation of what one feels about life in its entirety...” - Ansel Adams
here's one I took at a soccer game...quality is a bit rough but thought it was a neat one...
"I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer.
I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time.
I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important.
I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live.".
I knew I had this pic somewhere in my slides. It's the only one I have of a photographer. This is my friend Dan, taken in the Ishi Wilderness outside Red Bluff, CA. We were on a natural history class week-long field trip. We and one other guy had hiked up the side of this huge bluff, and I couldn't resist taking the shot- he looked so goofy in his Daniel Boone coonskin cap with another camo Gilligan hat on top of it! This was also his first experience with photography, using his mom's old Minolta-something-or-other and a half-broken Sigma 70-210. He got spoiled using my Bogen tripod, however. We came back with 12 rolls of slides that we turned into an excellent slideshow for the last day of class. Lots of oohs and aahs, even from the two photographer/profs that went on the trip with us.
A good time was had by all, and the trip even got a full-page feature in the campus newspaper.
"We've all been raised by television to believe that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
And all around good guy, Brian. If I have a twin in this world, Brian is it! We don't look like each other in the slightest, but we are both into photography, astronomy, scuba diving, martial arts, etc, etc. Did I mention he also has five children?
These shots were taken on Shackleford Banks back in August. Brian brought his N90, I took my N80 and Coolpix 5700. We went hiking hoping to get some shots of the wild horses, called banker ponies. The ponies were very cooperative, and we both came away with lots of shots.
Here's a photo of me after I handed my digital to someone while I took a shot with my M2. Taken down in Kuwait. It got up to 53 degrees that day. Celsius!
I need some new photos for the top of the Home pages. If you've got good photos of photographers that will fit the weird proportions of the Home page images, post them here. Plus, photos of photographers at work are fun, anyway.
If I use one, I'll give you the photo book of your choice from the PhotographyREVIEW.com library.
I just found this in a forgotten folder! Forgot I even even took it.

I'm a little late joining this thread, but here is a picture I found in my file that fits the bill. Happened on the pair while photographing the Lexington Center behind them. Not sure what the camera is but I guess it worked for them.
I thought this fit right into the idea here but from a different angle. The two in the photo are on the mad hunt for the right light, I love their look of frustration.

Been looking to get a good photo of a fellow photographer for sometime. This young man is a photographer for a local newspaper in our area. He graduated from high school with my son and it just so happens that his father and I were in the same class in high school. This shot was taken on the side lines last night at the football game.

I love it! Do you know what camera he was using? Just curious.
This man and I were snapping shots of our kids at play in the park, so I spontaneously shot one of him too.

Ok, I admit it, I sometimes find myself looking away from the action and looking at the reaction. Here are the photogs reacting to the 20 some odd foot drop up on the ridgeline. It is kinda far so some of them are getting ready for the shot when the rider is getting closer
me right after shooting a soccer game at my school. Not quite sure what I was doing, my friend just snapped this shot with my p&s i gave him to play around with.
Here's a few from last year's Yosemite gathering trip that I don't think I ever posted. I may have posted them, but I can't remember.
The first is of Brian, taken at Glacier Point. By the way, anybody heard from Brian lately? Or does anyone have his email? I'd like to contact him.
The second one is a group of Japanese camera/video men. Don't know if they were just tourists or shooting a program for Japanese television.
The last one is of Brian getting the deer close-up.
