Cat's Head Wonderland


I know, I know. I've kept you (few) readers waiting for a very long time.
This is mainly because I've been having some cameraproblems... or rather issues. It isn't that it doesn't work anymore; it's just that I'm disappointed in it. I mean, I haven't studied photography to work with a crappy lil' compactcamera of which I am the slave. I need to be able to fully manipulate everything; whether it's the light, the focus, the lens, the shutterspeed... As long as I can end up with the image I have in my head. There are people who can make brilliant pictures because they're lucky... and then there are those who do the same because they can; because they have the know-how; because they know what they're doing.
And I've run out of luck with my old camera. I have the know-how, but can't use it on this 'kitchen-utensil'. I think it's time for me to start saving some money and invest in a good reflex camera again. Back to the technicalities; back to what feels right. Enough with only pressing buttons. Mr Cornwell is going back to his roots; his first love:
real photography(...without the dark room that is/ lack the space and time).






In due time.
Meanwhile: enjoy yet another pic of one of my kittykats. Made me think of the smiling Cheshire in Alice In wonderland. Don't know why...

I'm not a man for house pets. But if I were, I would be a cat man. Real contrarians they are.

And thanks for the warning. Lately I have been severely tempted to buy a "kitchen-ustensil". I think I'll abstain after all.

I love it when someone talks/writes about his passion. ALthough I know jack shit about photography I believe I understand what you're saying.

Coming from someone who can make brilliant pictures because I'm lucky, I know exactly what you mean ... if only I could make less brilliant pictures and know how to make brilliant pictures I'd be even more lucky ... eh ... that said, I think the cat looks more like a snake, but that's ok ... some cats are born that way.
