(22,380 posts)it has much of everything in it I like.The feelings and musings of phenomenal b/w photography, my favorite language, references to one of my favorite sculptors (Giacometti), and an Aran sweater to die for. Now I have to freeze frame this thing to copy the sweater. That I know how to do. The photographs, not so much.

(22,380 posts)to get a clear still of the sweater, I can come pretty close. I've knit since I was 4.

(1,296 posts)that's impressive! I tried to freeze frame and then save it as a pic - didn't work. There might be a way to pause the video and then hit "print screen" if your keyboard has that option. Mine has that option but either it doesn't work...or I'm not sure how to use it.

Oh well.
I've made many Aran sweaters, but that particular one looks amazingly custom and especially gorgeous. Just like the man himself.

Cartier-Bresson's work has inspired a lot of my street photography.

(I used to dabble in photography years ago using a Leica SLR and B&W Kodak Technical Pan film shot at ASA 25 developed in Technidol, which was somewhat comparable to a medium format using a 35mm - not exactly the same...but not too bad either ~)

(17,341 posts)I've got a Sigma 2.8/105mm macro/telephoto and a Sigma 1.4/30mm. I shoot at 100 - 200 ISO.
I keep hearing Robert Capa in my head - If the pictures not good enough, you're not close enough.
