And another one, on lowly Angulon 90/6.8.. I am packing for trip overseas and trying to figure out lightest set of 4x5 gear (and one that i can actually FOCUS , as in - i dont want to get any f8+ lenses ).. So far it looks like 90/6.8, 150 Caltar or Xenar, and 210 Caltar + Chamonix 45-n2... I got tired of arguing with airlines that me Technika is just a camera and should not be considered as part of weight limit for carryon

Another one from our neighborhood park. I never get tired of it, which is good because it's only three blocks away.

Speed Graphic, Aero-Ektar.

You sound like my wife--and that's a GOOD thing! She has been great about helping me get past the "I suck" feelings. In the end I feel that being self-critical propels me forward rather than holds me back. Striving to do better each time is the goal, and that is a process not an end point. Plus, I enjoy taking pictures so much I don't think I would stop even if I thought I was the worst photographer in the world!

Visitors to portland take pictures; photographers make photographs.

See, that's the problem right there. I do not think of myself as a "photographer." No, I'm just a guy who takes pictures.

Jonathan,

For what it's worth I enjoy seeing your photos and I don't think it matters how you describe how it's done or how you describe yourself. I'm a photographer and I take photos, though I've seen many from others, that where captured or made, that I like. Just semantics, me thinks.

Rick,

I completely agree; it's all semantics. If you take/make/create/formulate/fabricate/hypothesize/dream up/conjure photographs, more power to you. I don't usually think in terms of labels and am uncomfortable with them in all areas of my life, not just those related to photography. A compliment, though--no matter how expressed--is always welcome. Thanks.
