Thanks for replies 🙂
Blkrcat -- I understand superstitions -- all the people I photographed on Tuesday lived -- so I should shoot more accidents - by that theory.
When I arrived on the site, I thought it was for a building fire. As long as I was there I might as well shoot -- I am after all a photographer -- that's what we do. And walking all day looking for photos is tough. So when one comes upon a scene with interest... As for shooting digital -- that's cool. But I can only shoot one camera at a time, and I like film. I like film because it's harder -- less shots, you don't know if you got it, no auto-exposure or auto-focus, limited number of shots, and best of all you get to imagine what you got. It's exciting and involving. Then there are more ways to screw up -- processing and such. So when you get a shot you like, you worked harder and it's more rewarding. Digital cameras depreciate, and the chance of recouping costs from the meager offerings of news outlets is a long shot. Rather just shoot for my own head. I went out shooting again yesterday. Even covered much of the same ground. Amazing how a place can feel so different one day to the next. Doubt I got any keepers -- but maybe... Did get a good hamburger at Alfies on 8th and around 53rd. Chores today, and hopefully I'll develop and scan 9 waiting rolls.
