Thanksgiving

It was really nice to be home for Thanksgiving. It was exceptionally nice to be at home for Thanksgiving with Stephen's beautiful 6X7 film camera. I really like working with that camera. It really makes me slow down and think about each shot I make. Which is frustrating sometimes when I miss that one moment I can easily get with my digital camera but at the same time the rangefinder really makes me think about what I want the images to say. It also makes these incredibly subtle and quiet images that I am just loving. And best news of all is that Stephen is letting me take the camera home with me for winter break, which means many more to come (though if I keep this up I will really need to get better at scanning!)
