But I discovered that the light weight and the deep finger grip of the Pentax K-x makes it very easy to one-hand-hold, so I just snapped off this shot as a test, and found that I like the colors and composition of it.
The composition and the blue and warm colors, everything, completely accidental! Or at least it did not come from my little mind, since I couldn't see the screen and didn't try to compose anything...
Not to mention that it's hand-held indoors at night, and only barely blurry for it.
Painting by Bernard Tate.
You got a K-x???? Welcome to the digital Pentax family :-) (I believe you have a/some film Pentax gear, no?)
ReplyDeleteYes, I have an ME Super, although I bought it for aesthetics and nostalgia. I used that camera in my most creative period about thirty years ago.
ReplyDeleteRight down to yer yellow bath robe matching the gurl's "cover"! COOL, "Mr. Intense"! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL captcha: "deHAUTm"!! Exactly! :-P
It is a sweater, actually. My favorite, given to me by my sister like twenty years ago. Though you wouldn't know it to look at it, guess it's good quality.

WHOOPS!! My "bad"!! Sorry! :-(
"My favorite, given to me by my sister..."
SWEET!! :-)
Well spotted, TC.
ReplyDelete(What, do you TRAIN at observing such things???)
You COULD, of course, see the screen reasonably well with a mirror on the wall. But then you'd be looking at the mirror, not the camera, which would give a rather awkward feel to the photo.
It IS quite nice-looking, yes. Did you just invent "accidental art"? ;-)
(You and a few million other human beings in the last thousand centuries. :-)
You look so serious in that photo. No, I think the truly proper word would be "you look focused".
(A little blurry around the ears, perhaps? ;-)
And the painting in the background, wow, what an office you've got haha.
ReplyDeleteLookin' studly. Try some Grecian formula though.

ReplyDelete"Try some Grecian formula though."
Oh STOP it! A little greying (silver?) is SEXY!! It's the sign of "graceful" aging! ;-)
That is a very nice painting you have on your wall. Who is it (by)?
ReplyDeleteNever mind! Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I get for posting a comment before finishing the unread articles in my RSS reader. *slaps self on hand*
The Dadaists were big on Accidental Art.
ReplyDelete(I've posted the painting now.) (Gotta love digital cameras!)
I've never considered hair coloring, I kind of like my grey. It's more who I am, thoughtful rather than a Man Of Action.
A friend of mine (Hi Claus) is coloring his, but it fits him better, because he really is a man of action, always jumping out of airplanes and such.
I love my little office, it has everything I need, and nudes all over the walls.
I guess you live amidst bare walls then... I thought you could afford better.
ReplyDeleteSo, you're friends with James Bond? A likely story...
*slaps self on hand*
Try some Tiger Balm on that...
"I'm no pretender"
There's a reason James Bond never had any friends. When you're the best at everything, well it would get tiresome never winning. That's why Einstein could never get anyone to play Risk with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess ol' Leonardo from Vinci was not a party animal either.
ReplyDeleteWell, Leo DID manage to get a pretty lady to crack half a smile...
ReplyDeleteTough I heard that in reality "Michaelangelo is the party dude". Leonardo leads, and follows Master Splinter's advice.
But I never quite got those Ninja Turtle names. I mean, really, "Donatello makes machines"? Everybody knows that it was Leonardo who made lots of engineering inventions! The armored tank, the helicopter, the horseless car, the parachute, the internet...
Uh, no, maybe not the internet. But carrier pigeons can be more efficient, anyway. ;-)
And I'm not too sure about the crude impulsive anger in Raphael's paintings. It's still open to debating, don't you concur?
Same as Mike's pizza-cooking and snacking while doing the Sixtin ceiling. 8-p
Pascal, you wily dog!
ReplyDeleteWoof!
