Had a 'date' with a fellow photographer on Sunday. We were going to
take some shots in a planned community about an hour west of here. I knew
that she shot Minolta autofocus.
As I was preparing my camera gear I was torn. It was either take
the two snake-skinned LXs or the two 'normal' LXs (one with slide the other
b&w) with me. I have had extreme reactions about the snaked cameras. I was
not sure how she would take it. I figured I could not go wrong with taking
the two 'normal' LXs, and they happen to also be the ones in the best shape
of the bunch. One has the FA-1 the other the FA-2. Talk about classy
looking. But then again I find just about all my cameras beautiful, just
some more than others ;-)
So is it vanity that one considers the appearance of their camera
gear - to some extent.? But once she really gets to know me, she will see
the old beat up LXs and will not care by then :-) Side note - she has seen
my photography and has complemented me on it. So I guess I am safe.
Just rambling with a few idle moments here at work,
