I took to my own street with a 35mm + red filter and a telephoto lens meandering around this Memorial Day. The one thing that struck me the most is what everyone WAS NOT doing outside. In my days, now about to show how old I am, we played outside the first chance we got when school was out of session. I personally could not wait to join my friends and even strangers for a game of basketball – three on three baby! Memorial Day this year felt different. I didn’t even smell one house grilling brisket, chicken, or hamburgers. I can’t be that old, can I?
I don’t feel it…
Memorial Day 2023 was the perfect recipe for black and white photography. Various forms of clouds were out, and having equipped a red filter on my 35mm prime, should come out in dynamic fashion. I was also trying new configuration of camera lens and body when walking – a telephoto and a 35mm prime. I bring a telephoto lens for nature and 35mm for street – a trial for the ten plus miles in foreign environments where all I do know is my gear and capabilities.
