Dave,
That's right. Without even really thinking about it, I have been doing a
photographic study of industrial plants that I come across in my travels. I
rarely have any information on the plants I photograph, however I do have a
collection that I plan to publish on the web as soon as I get the time to scan
them in. Here is a link to a known plant - Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in
NY. This was taken using the 75-150/4 at 150 from a moving boat. The film was
Kodak ProImage 100. Exposure not and aperture not recorded. The scan is not
clean and I will have to re-do it, but once again the 75-150 surprises me with
it's performance, even wide open.

And another of an unknown plant taken from a field outside of Nazareth Speedway
in PA. This was handheld using the Tamron 500/8 and Kodak ProImage 100. I was
surprised at the detail I got handholding the 500 mm lens at f/8. Again a quick
scan that needs to be cleaned up.

What do you do to mentally and
emotionally prepare for making photographs?
I am fortunate to live in an area that is rich with photography
opportunities. In fact it is an abundance of riches so that part of the job
is to focus on a venue and set out to do it justice. I have set out on a
project to photograph the "funky" and weird signs and other images in the
various ethnic and generally different areas of San Diego. The images will
go into an album that will no doubt mean more to me and perhaps my wife than
anyone else. But it's the doing of the photography that is the therapy. It
relaxes me to go out to scout for these things. They are everywhere, it's
wonderful.
