Old market



I use to buy my produce locally from a farmers market just a few miles from our house until one day the mega Mart found it's way into our community and took over. I stumbled upon the remanents of that old market in a barn across the street covered in dust and cobwebs.

What camera do you use?

I get asked that a lot and the answer is quite simple I use Canon, which one you might wonder as well, I don't really know, it's whatever one is lying around the car or house but most of the time is a Canon Eos-1D MarkII N, really there's a lot of different ones laying around old and new and if it has a fresh battery can shoot a picture I use it.  Why Canon? well once upon a time someone in the middle of the night thought that they needed my Nikon equipment more than me and I never saw it again so I've borrowed my stuff ever since. Yes I own nothing, that's me personally and why should I when my husband has an arsenal of equipment. I prefer to talk to fellow enthusiasts about lens which seem to make more of a difference than the "camera body" when it comes to photographic style. I use a 16-35mm, 50mm and a 70-200mm all Canon 2.8 lens. I rarely use a flash simply because I either forget to bring it or well I broke three this past month alone. I believe the camera doesn't make the photographer any better or any worse.

A great mentor once told me "there's a photo in every situation and it's your job to find it."

and so the story goes, you want a rabbit to come out of that hat, I'll bring you the photo and I won't leave unless I have it before deadline of course!

Sometimes as a photographer you stumble upon a place or an object that speaks to you in a visual sense and this old safe from a burned out bank build left in ruins intrigued me, maybe it was the fact a tree had started to grow on top of the concrete and metal casing left abandoned in the middle of town or the way the rust transformed it into this beautiful art form for whatever the reason I find myself transfixed on this image maybe if I stare at it long enough I'll develop super powers to see what's inside.
