Agreed. I love driving around out in places like northern Arizona. It's so, so relaxing compared to here. I live in the suburbs, so in the city I take pics of people. But out here if you look at my photos, there are almost no people. It takes work to get those. πŸ™‚

I'm of course joking about her being my "accidental DM friend" (you get the reference) but I'm quite serious about wishing her well. Please tell her I asked about her and wish her a swift recovery!

Can you please come to NY and coax the people into going away, just for a little while? I'm a transplant from your part of the world, and I kind of do the same type of photos now that I think of it. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

A dramatic black and white photograph of a mountain town street leading toward towering peaks partially dusted with snow. Dark, textured storm clouds gather overhead, contrasting sharply with the bright mountains illuminated by sunlight breaking through the clouds. Buildings with balconies and windows line both sides of the street, creating a sense of depth that draws the viewer’s eye toward the distant landscape. Captured on Ilford SFX 200 film with a VoigtlΓ€nder Perkeo II and 80mm f/3.5 Color-Skopar lens.

Hi there! Good to see you.

My only comment is that I just got back from a short trip and I took one camera and one lens. EOS-1n and a 35mm prime. When I can't decide what to do, the 1n is my workhorse. It just works. Reliably and well. Spare battery just in case if you go the EOS route. πŸ™‚

Remember how they used to hype up the world premier of new videos like that for weeks or months on end? Thriller certainly delivered. OTOH, "Blue Jean" by David Bowie was.... OK.

And don't get me wrong, I like Bowie, but the hype train for that particular one was a bit much IMHO. πŸ™‚

I can't wait to see what she does with all the Rush catalogue, but at the moment I have Subdivisions playing in my head. Good for her! That's awesome.

Something about the height of it and the proportions and angles reminds me of an attack helicopter!

If a classic silver Leica with its rounded corners is like a classic era airplane (or Naboo spaceship), this is more like an Apache! With a big round autocannon on the front. 😜
