Agree, nice image from the past. My dad and granddad had bib overalls just like
that. I could easily see my dad standing there, with a pocket protector in the
shirt pocket. My dad's first job out of college was with Grumman in St Louis
around wwii.
I upgraded from E-1 to a 5D around 2005 and was quite active with it in 2006.
However, I have a hard time wanting to look back at the older photos. I just
took a peak at 2006. There is a lot of unprocessed creative stuff there, but I
don't have the desire in resurrecting them, or going through those memories
much these days.
The 5D was freeing at the time. I didn't like the struggle I had with the E-1.
Somewhere along the way my vision got stale. Perfectionism crept in. Two lenses
stand out from that time that I used a lot, a Canon 70-200/2.8 and a 180mm
macro. I have the 180 now, but it is overshadowed by CV 110 and other lenses.
Cameras and lenses have greatly improved, but this photog, perhaps not so much.
