And then the photographer appeared

Last weekend my father came for a visit and to collect his Nikon D80 he bought from a workmate of mine. On Saturday we made a photo trip to the Drottningholm palace park. After a while I found him standing there waiting for me to get out of his picture =) But I shot first. I caught the cyklop with my twin lens Rollei as he just had entered the atmosphere. His entrance resembled that of Mr. Bean to me.

The real photographer

This week I bought an old camera. In fact it is older than I am. A Rolleiflex Automat 6x6, a TLR camera manufactured in 1952. I was so happy for the excellent condition of this camera that I wrote a mail especially to the seller and thanked him. He replied with a quote.

"The amateur is worried about sharpness, the profi is worried about money, the real photographer is worried about light."

Since nothing worry me right now maybe I'm an imbecile photographer.
