Just got the 2 head kit, looks like a great piece of gear. Full review forthcoming as soon as I get a couple of shoots down with it. Initial impressions are *wow* It puts out an amazing amount of *quality* light for such a tiny package.
From Jim Jarmusch’s Golden Rules:
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.”
This year for the birthday, did a fantastic 2 week trip to San Francisco and Sonoma. Lots of touristy stuff, lots of wine drinking, and lots of photos… Cameras were the GF1 and a Holga – this was my my first “real” outing with the GF1 and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Was able to carry the body with kit lens and 20/1.7 in the corner of my daybag with room for the rest of my assorted junk. Never missed carrying the big SLR one bit!
As the year closes, it’s fun to go through the library and pick out my personal faves from the year… In no particular order, my favorite shots from ‘09. Not necessarily my best or most commercially successful, just the ones that tickled my own fancy:
