Paris

i LOVE this shot.... exactly what i like to try and capture

Thanks, Lt! I like it a lot too because of the perfect mood. It was really just a snapshot but it's shot on film. Makes it different, gives it a grittiness that I miss in digital.

Your sig is funny, Lt. No Nikon for you eh?

i grew up around the corner from the chief photographer for the local Gannett News owned newspaper (Gannett is the publisher for the USAToday). the USToday wasnt a thing yet. i played with a couple of his daughters who were the same age as the rest of us in the neighborhood. i always liked how he had better access to life and things so i decided i wanted to be a photographer too.

before my senior year in high school (summer of 82) my parents said they would buy me a good slr and i spoke with my neighbor and he suggested the AE-1 over anything Nikon had. he had to use Nikon because the paper provided it but he really liked Canon glass saying it was as good as anything Nikon had without the price tag so.....
