Post your most satisfactory shot so far in 2009.

Was everyone joking about an RFF book ? it's really a nice idea for a project, "RFF 2009", get about 100 pictures, have simple rules, add captions, tech info, inset picture of the photographer, print them up and sell at least 100 copies to the winners 🙂

I second the statement that there isn't a dud in the entire lot.
Lots of standouts - including Vobluda and the newborn baby and mother - something tells me that'll be one of the ALLTIME favorites for him.

Here's one that I think really worked, shot with the 35mm Ultron 1.7 wide open and the M8:

Frighteningly, this thread makes me really want kids, just to have perfect subjects at the ready anytime I want to shoot.

Tangentially related, my friend and I were discussing a couple months ago how a new baby means a camera upgrade for everyone: people with no camera buy one, people with a P&S buy a consumer DSLR, people with a nice SLR finally get a Leica or medium format camera, serious amateurs buy new lenses. We concluded that we needed kids so we could buy a new camera.

So many great shots here, I can't even single any out. I look forward to more!

despite its imperfections, this one just does it for me...

Has to be this one of my son losing himself in his play:



One of the best things about children is the way they can become so engrossed in what they're doing, that they don't notice the honking great RZ67 just a few feet away. 🙂

I only "have" kids by proxy, but then, I never needed an excuse for the gear I have. 🙂

'Nuff said.

then again i dig these from rothbury music festival.

and this one i really like, phil lesh (bass player of the grateful dead) saw my m8 as I was shooting him backstage and told me he owns one and has some questions about it...

we talk camera's for a bit and i grab a frame of him, as he takes one of me (both with my m8). that was fun.

here are the frames.

My grandpa's cat after he died. She sat there like that, in the window looking down or outside, for over a month after he left us. She was born there and was 18 years old when he died.

That is one of my favourites of yours too. Very poignant.

Ah ah ah, I know the feeling ... though I escaped most of them when I left the country long time ago. Your shot brought back a lot of (bad) memories to me 😉 Will be on the look for your series on your blog.
