<p>I can take a well-framed, well-composed, well-exposed, and sharp image of just about anything. If you have a good eye, you can probably do the same thing with your phone. We are wash in images, and I frankly find a lot of photography boring. Even some of my own.</p>

<p>I am more and more interested in pushing the boundaries of photography. I did this years ago with a friend-model from work in the federal government in Canada. I shot Réjean (a woman) in low light with film, when you couldn't know exactly what was going to happen. This is "reciprocity failure": the reciprocal relationship of shutter speed and aperture breaks down. Usually, if you increase shutter speed, you get more light, but then you need to keep the aperture (the hole the light goes through) small, so you don't get too much light. Alternatively, if you make the aperture large, you need a short shutter speed, even in fairly low light. I can't remember what my settings were, but the results of the failure of this relationship to be predictable were very pleasing. She is facing away from me, with one bare arm angled over her head, and the other going straight up. The light fall-off around her is abrupt, and the film grain (like digital noise) becomes increasingly obvious. I loved the shot.</p>
