I'm an elderly geezer in his late seventies who likes cameras. Have been isolating for over a year with very little social contact so hope you don't mind me diving into the archives? Lots has been happening the past few days, got first shot of Pfizer, and downloaded Viewscan so I can tackle my film stuff dating back over 60 years. Now to try and figure out all these new bells and whistles. Invested in a hot i9 machine, so hot it's liquid cooled. Was even able to get the last non-subscription versions of Lightroom and Photoshop up and running. Wheeee! When I worked in Calgary, would often go camping in the Eastern Rockies outside Banff park. Off the beaten path so could be quite rough. At end of work week would load the LandRover with tent, cameras,(usually Linhof 4x5 and the two M4s.), not to mention food and booze. An hours drive brought me to this scenery and it would be time to engage the locking front hubs and snap a photo. In the tent photo the bag at the foot of the bed is an old WW2 gas mask bag that cost a couple dollars in a surplus store. On my trips through Asia it was my camera bag. I looked like another hippy with a bag of dirty socks and not a tourist with expensive camera gear. A little paranoia is healthy.... All these were shot with M4 and 21mm Super Angulon.
