ISO 500, f2.8, 1/250, 17mm lens I alternated the day between doing housework, kicking the kids around the house, and doing more test shots along the way.

Never again. Don’t ever let this happen again to James Bond. "Quantum of Solace" is his 22nd film and he will survive it, but for the 23rd it is necessary to go back to the drawing board and redesign from the ground up. Please understand: James [....] Continue reading Quantum of Nostalgia My Panny, taken with the venerable Canon EOS 5D. Check out the retro design AND casing. All the old geezers (aka old amateurs) will swoon over this. It always comes as a surprise to my current colleagues at Microsoft to find out that I used to be a pro photog.
