To everyone Welcome to the first monthly photographic column of "Wish you were here" (experimental title, lol). This column will be a humble way of contributing in a creative (i hope) way to this community. One or a small group of photographies (that in a way are linked together) will be presented every month. Along (possibly) with a few small thoughts... In the end my main goal is to use photography in a way to invite you all to present/developpe a few thoughts/comments, etc... about what you see and more important, what you feel. So this "column" would end up being written a little bit by everyone. Welcome to this corner of yours, hope you enjoy your staying... This idea is dedicated to Elliot, cheers and chin up old chap.  regards, Pedro. ps- if you have other interesting/appealing titles, feel free to present them here... |

Janggut nice to have a reply/feedback. this intro. piece of july is mainly the "oficial" presentation of the column. the "big test" will start in august where a 6 month photographic project will be presented. so in answering to your question, yes there will be a theme/main line. but that doesn't mean it won't change, it can/could also be an only "one to one month" theme, each month about a certain subject/theme etc... developped by one or more photos. thanks for the kudos for the title... if anyone has other sugestions/questions, feel free to drop by... if there are requests, i can also present/point out the technicals aspects linked with each photography (specially since the next ones will be in black and white, all of them developped/worked by me - the film and the paper alike). regards |

pedro, do u happen to have a point-&-shoot camera? maybe u can do a comparison on the side - manual vs auto, analog vs digital, more vs less (in terms of equipment). thanks. edit: what do u think? links to pix or have the pix show up immediately in the posts? the reason i ask is that it takes quite some time for my dialup to download the pix especially when there are so many to load at one time. |

Janggut these photos were taken by a digital camera (sony cybershot) with a minimum of control over aperture/speed. at this time i'm still starting to enter on the digital photography universe, and since i'm more of an "old school" photography (where you control the camera dn all the film/paper developement) i'm still getting my first kicks of it. regarding the comparisons (reviews?) what kind of comparisons would you like to see?! camera/film/paper reviews?! it would be very interesting to present a few reviews/points of view... since i'm not thinking on putting up a lot of pictures each time (4 max.) maybe i'll stick with the posting directly here option...but if you have problems with it, i can try to get another solution... the next few months will be completly different from the theme/equipement used and type of photography...it will be "old school photography projects"...and there for much richer/complex than the process/options used in this "small oficial intro" photos. regards |

woohoo! i'm looking forward to your articles, pedro. since u're going to feature both new & old technologies of photography, i certainly think reviews will be good. as for pix showing immediately in the posts, i'm ok with it as long as it's not too big & too many. as for digital photography, i am always concerned of response speed. i have been frustrated by most digital camera as they are too slow in reaction to me pressing the button. i helped a few friends taking their wedding photos & i always end up with digital cameras. fortunately for them to have more than just myself to take pix. which is why i feel point-and-shoot camera is also very important to camera enthusiast as it has the speed most 'advanced' cameras do not. |
