What was old can still be new.

So there I was sitting in front on the old TV. Yes I mean old! I need to get a flat screen like my studio. Anyway, I was watching a program on PBS on Steinway pianos and I started thinking about the history of instruments. We got electric guitars and we still play acoustic, we got electric drum sets and we still like the sound of a full drum kit and finally we got electric keyboards and people still insist on an instrument like a Steinway. Its the purity of the sound, the craftsmanship of the product and the process of use that makes us feel as thought you are one with the piano. And it is just that, a piano, not a tool. My wife isn't just a woman!

This brings me to the hope that even thought we love our instant gratification of our digital cameras that their is still room for the creativeness and the connected feeling that is photography. After all we still love painted art and yet their is photography.

The images below were taken in Death Valley a few years ago on a Hasselblad 503cx with Ilford B&W XP2 film (the real raw). Enjoy!

Ciao,
