Picture: Plastic “Meditate” froggy perched on a rock in my Zen Garden in my backyard.
I’ve been in a bit of a self-imposed exile recently while trying to complete the manuscript for my latest book project, which will be on Photographing Northern California. Unfortunately, because of business and life. etc., I’ve been a bit behind where I want to be, so I’ve been keeping the stove on high this month. Froggy reminds me to take appropriate moments for myself and to keep things in perspective.
And speaking of perspective, I did feel it was important to take some time out of my life to help the widow of another professional photographer who felt the time had come to part with her late husband’s camera gear. I felt truly honored she thought of me, and trusted me with this duty. She had saved a bunch of his climbing stuff, and some of his other travel gear and books, but she wasn’t going to save any of his camera stuff. With great respect, I handed her back his old F3 film camera with a single fixed 55mm lens, and told her this needed to be saved and put in a place of honor, seeing how photography was such an important part of his life. She was absolutely delighted with this idea, admitting she hadn’t even thought of that herself. So with her one treasured keepsake back in her hands, I’ll try to sell his gear once I’m done with my book.
But if anyone (readers of this blog) wants a heads-up; I’ll be selling his:
(All Nikon)
Nikon D200
17-35mm f/2.8
70-105 Micro Nikkor
105mm Macro
80-400 f4.5-5.6 VR 1
Assorted flash equipment, cords, tripod, and filters.
If you think you’ll have an interest, shoot me an email.
I shot froggy while testing the lenses. They all work great, but the 17-35 has a stiff, but still working zoom ring.
