Passing the time with a camera. Take one sad old geezer with a cap, sit him down with a cup of tea, a sandwich, his spectacles, a camera and a book on photography. Leave him in peace for a few hours then see what becomes of it all. This is what happened a while back when unable to get out and about, life was indeed looking increasingly miserable through just a single window with hardly anything happening outside. Depression quickly set in, then ‘The Book’ was discovered. It was interesting, illuminating, inspiring. It also covered all types of camera, including a basic. That was the beginning of a new outlook on life. Night time was when planning what to photograph was decided, the next day those ideas were put into practice, and Practice is the key to it all. Without drolling on and on about how a certain photo was taken, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
