Moving On

It only takes a minute, but we all forget to do it -- check the date, this one is from 2018. Moving On, has no doubt moved on since he got his heart's desire;)

I circle back from time to time.....Taking time to run some film through that camera again lately.

Big Mirror Make Good Eye.

Cover Make Good Hat.

“It's getting to the point where just raising your eyes from the ground and looking around is viewed as a criminal offence.”

Or raising your eyes to look at a bird.....

The majority of voters and the majority of voters in the right states in the U.S. have changed the world.

The Right voters eh.

Hmmmmm.

I hear some are making lists....

Additionally.

Photos that change the world, and photos of world change are two distinctly different things.

To the opposite of this incident, I recently drove through a similar fence/gate & stood on the grounds of a similar dam/lock facility on the Ohio River, out in full view in broad daylight and shot more than a few photos of the structure with 2 different devices. The only people I had talking to me were a couple fisherman- some old guy & his son.

Yeah, but who gives a shit about that dam....

;)

The biggest issue I have with post processing is in trying to learn from the photograph.

“How did you get such a great result?”

I love cops. Especially handsome ones with big guns.

 

I snapped this just before he was able to wave me off. I gave him a sheepish "oops" smile and he smiled back. It doesn't always work out so neatly, of course, but I've had many more good encounters with cops, officials, and janitors than bad ones. So I guess my photographic glass is more than half full.

Great Photo.

Common Ground.

Been there.

Done that.

You guys got to get over that "I know my rights" crap. We don't live in that world any more.

Yes we do.

We shoot what we like......;)

Better than raising snakes as a hobby.

Interesting choice of words.......;)

You don’t have to be a Social Justice Warrior to take good photographs.

And I’m sure the “empathy” thing goes away when a cop asks you to step back.

Don't surrender your passion to the whims of the masses.

Unless it’s on a park bench........;)

Awww. Photographers are such victims. Your post reads like something to get over and not indulge yourself with quite so much.

Uh no.

He makes excellent and truthful points backed up by reality.

Not tainted with perpetual grievance at all.

Though I have seen that regularly in the posts of others.....;)

Every positive thing you do within a moral framework is an investment.

You see these same arguments in many discussions of activities.

Hunting, fishing, shooting, cooking all lend themselves to variations in their practice along a varying scale of difficulty concurrent with developments in the process.

It appears to me that it is Human Nature to devise shortcuts in everything we do.

And to a lesser degree, Human Nature to explore was is possible under the constraints of the past.

It’s all good.

I cannot think of a better time for photography than to be able to still experience a reach back with some really excellent old equipment, and at the same time, so simply and efficiently capture unique as well as utilitarian photographs.

He simply wanted to assess your purpose in being there.

The difference of perspective in looking out and looking in.

No harm, no foul.

The reason he asked questions in the manner he did was to make an assessment while being careful not to say anything suggesting you could not do what you were doing.

He was judging your intent by your reaction.

Simple as that.
