The Bear that Ate Fort Collins



Photography is such an exact science. Excuse, me, it’s supposed to be art. Wait a minute, and we must have everything exact and it all must be clean. The chemistry must be mixed just right, and that takes science! And, the bigger the sensor the better. Megapixel creep is great. My lens weighs more than, your lens, it must be better…..!!

Hurmph! At times like these I like to reach for a plastic toy camera. My latest, the Lomo Fisheye (www.lomography.com) cost $35. After all, isn’t a photographer out to create an image that will capture they eye’s attention? Does the photo always have to be razor sharp? All the colors true to life? Science must be balanced by art.
