I’m home, but still catching up on the blog, Project 365, life, the universe, and everything else. There’s some retroblogging in my future. (So, just to make sure your head hurts, I’ll be blogging as though I did it in the past, but actually in the future of where I sit right now. Ouch.)
While you’re waiting, enjoy this video. Get a Kleenex. You’ll need it.

After last night’s foray into beer photography, tonight I returned to my father-in-law’s Minolta camera. I’ve been looking for a nice way to capture it. Most of the images I’ve made of it have been rather flat, and not very exciting. After all, it is “just” an old camera.
While I was setting up, though, I happened to walk around the camera, and finally saw the image I’d been looking for. The angle-on view, as well as elevating my Canon above the Minolta, really spoke to me, and I snapped a few images.
I returned to my father-in-law’s old Minolta tonight. A little angling, and presto!
I made this image with my Canon 7D and Canon 100/2.8 macro lens, and finished it up in Lightroom 2.
Once again, I’ve missed a few days on my Project 365. Tonight, I return to a favorite subject — my father-in-law’s old Minolta film camera. This camera is a treasure trove of fun images. Tonight, I elected to focus on a simple front-on image of the lens. I love the gearing and the mechanical feel of this camera’s appearance.
