There was an interesting interview with Jeff Bridges on Fresh Air.
(Go to http://freshair.npr.org/ click on archived shows and search
for Jeff Bridges.) He also has a web site with a link to his
photography: http://www.jeffbridges.com/camera.html
He has a new book out *Jeff Bridges: Pictures* of photos taken behind
the movie sets. One comment that stood out in the interview was similar
to this quote from his website:
"To this day, looking at a proof sheet for the first time is like
opening a Christmas present I've given to myself. What a great surprise
- to see what the camera saw; what worked and what didn't; to feel the
moment of the picture all over again."
The experience of receiving a present can get lost in the immediacy of
the digital camera. I've noticed that when I go back to taking pictures
with the OM-4t after shooting a while with the E-1 is that I will do a
better job of editing at the moment of taking the picture, where as
with digital, I go ahead and take the picture and edit later. This may
be a detriment for me. Editing is probably the single most important
function or skill for me as a photographer to learn. Without editing
there is no progress or improvement in my work, and no direction. With
the OM-4t, the discipline of editing in the moment may make for better
seeing on my part. Taking a plethora of photographs with the E-1, may
produce a winner, but only because of shear volume rather than seeing
in the moment. There is no reason it has to be that way, it just tends
to for me.
