More experiments with colour from my New York trip. My trip was delayed due to Sandy, when I arrived the following week we took two shots at the runway as there was an intense blizzard which left the city in a total white-out. The snow cleared in a day or two and then the sun lit the streets like I've never seen on this side of the Atlantic – I'm a native Londoner. I knew that this trip had to be shot in colour, this was the first time I've used the GRD in this way.
I'm working hard to replace my lost/stolen GRD. I considered all sorts of other options; I've been carying my Olympus Stylus with Superia for the last week but film doesn't give me the freedom to take risks with my photos; I tried walking with my DSLR for a few days but the shutter noise and size of the thing restrained me; I've been umming and arring over the x100 or replacing all my cameras with an XE1, but none of these cameras are quite the same as a GRD. Reviewing my New York photos has reminded me that I must have a GRD in my life again.
The size, the handling and most importantly, the ability to shoot at wide apertures with a large depth of field make this camera perfect for me.
