Today's roll of ProImage 100

[Paul Taylor]

Before leaving the house today - I decided to grab a camera I have been neglecting (Minolta Alpha/Dynax/Maxxum 7) and a lens (Minolta 28-85AF) with the goal of finding enough things interesting to casually shoot an entire roll. When I got home - I developed and scanned it - and here are the results.

Here are a few of my favorites :

Breakfast spot - I wonder what came first, the hose box or the overhang supports?

From a local park :

Made a friend in a tree :

Lunch with a friend's 9 year old :

Stopped in the office real quick :

(the next two were taken with the Minolta 50mmf2.8 Macro since it was in the bag)

Back at home, and a neighbor's trees are sprouting fruits.

@Paul Taylor, you have a special ability to present your creations as if they were just camera or film proofs, but from the results I would say you are a bit modest. I think there must be a study behind these results, if not you are a born photographer. I really like this series because it is not easy to capture the everyday with so much art. I try to imagine how I would have framed those subjects and I see the mundane shots I would have taken. The colours are wonderful, both warm and cool, sometimes a bit extraterrestrial, but very impressive. Especially the range of greens.
