after extensive research on photosig.com, i've come to the conclusion that perhaps 90% of people who own higher-end digital cameras and even digital SLRs (which would imply that the buyer knew a thing or two about photography) end up taking really awful pictures... shot poorly, edited poorly, leaving very little room to salvage the photo. i got to thinking that if this indeed the case, then perhaps the converse might be true. so i'm beginning my canon s200 project... how far can i really push this relatively inflexible compact camera? it's a lesson equivalent to using my fully-manual SLR with only a prime lens - work with what you have, and think before you shoot.
about the photo... having not gotten out of the "stuff in my room" series (mainly because i've been sick the past several days), this is an old-school wind-up metronome, with a 1960's retro look to it. there's nothing like keeping beat to simple first principles - a pendulum with a counterweight to click andante, allegro, etc... editorially-speaking, this was a first for me in experimenting mixing color in with b&w.
