An exchange started yesterday at the Southern Maryland Celtic Festival,
by someone who saw me photographing the band that performed after us
with my K2:
"You can't beat that Pentax."
[After checking which camera I was using] "Well, I suppose, depending
on your tastes, you might beat it with a different Pentax. Or,
depending on your tastes, you might not."
"Yeah. They're great cameras. I have an LX."
Whoops. I'd forgotten about the LX. Yup, you can beat the K2 with
another Pentax even if you really like the K2 ...
(I also had a conversation with a couple of much younger fans,
when they saw the cameras I was using. They were intrigued by
the Holga, though quite reasonably more attracted to the Pentax
K2 (I had also brought the Program Plus and PZ-10); one said
she'd gotten a Canon AE-1 specifically for a photography class.
I wish I'd brought an S3 with me ... I did pull out the Argus
'brick' that I'd brought along but not used, for a bit of "show
and tell".)
I shot 125 frames on my digital camera yesterday. Plus eight
rolls of film and finishing off two more rolls that were already
loaded when I started. I'd started the day thinking I was
probably too tired to do a lot of shooting and might need a
nap before our performance ... but there was so much to shoot
even though I didn't wander too far from our stage most of the
day. (Okay, a lot of that was trying to catch other performers
in different postures / with different expressions / from different
angles.)
