Re: My observations on the 2011 PDML ANnual
I haven't received my copy of the annual--can't wait. I look forward to seeing everyone's work--the photos, Doug's forward, and Mark's design work. Big thanks Ken for your very kind words. Very much appreciated. That day Akira I were on our way to the Museum of Science and Industry. I had the K-7 with the FA 50mm f 1.4. I knew I'd want a few shots of him on the train, and with the FA 50mm I knew I'd need some distance, so I sat in a seat diagonal from Akira. The train car was empty and not moving because we get on this train at the end of the line. Akira moved about the car and settled in a seat facing me. He looked out the closest window I got 2 shots off--not very interesting stuff. He shifted in his seat and looked across the isle, then slumped back into his seat and looked straight at me, and I got the shot off. Right when I looked at the LCD, Akira started talking and asking me questions, so I got distracted and thought, ah that'll just have to do. Then I sat beside him, and we gabbed and giggled all the way to the museum. It was a great day with him. He's really funny--and a handful--he can talk your ear off! And I did take many pictures at the museum--but just playful stuff--the kind an aunt would take. :-) Big thanks, Ken.
