    I've done a few of these spontaneous self-portraits. They are never very flattering....

    Well said. A few years ago, I went on a weekend trip through Austin, Berlin, Manhattan, etc. (all Nevada towns for those who aren't from around here). I was particularly distressed at the chain link fence around Stokes Castle. I have fond memories of that place from when I was 5 years old. I tried to get some decent pictures of it but nothing really worked.
    Yeah. I'm familiar with Photoshop. It's the place I buy my film.

    The temple of Demeter (Dimitra) and a byzantine church next to it on Naxos. What we can see of the temple is mostly a work of restoration, while the church isn't really in ruins.

    Arca-Swiss 6x9, f=65mm (the Super-Angulon comes in handy at times, even if it's a pain to work at 1:8), f:22, 1/30s. Fuji 160Pro S. I noted down the details, but the light and that windy evening will stay vivid in my memory a bit longer.

    Re: Ruins

    Thank you guys! Very much appreciated, though I guess most of it was really just to be at this wonderful place at the right time (and some luck on that one too, as the clouds are always changing).

    I'm not yet too confident of my composition skills with the large format camera, still lots to learn there. In fact, even with a compact digicam I get better compositions most of the time, large format is a tough teacher!

    Just thought I would mention that this shot graced the cover of the May/June 1997 issue of View Camera.


    More of Kirk's "ruin" photographs can be seen in the May/June 2005 issue of View Camera.
