I took my new camera out for a test run the other day. The funky one on the right is the Lomography Fisheye  No. 2<\/span><\/b><\/a>. It has a field of view of 170 degrees. In other words it will take a photograph of everything it is pointed at. The results are a little distorted. Which I love.<\/p>\n

It’s a film camera which means that learning how to use can be a little expensive. I took a bunch of pics on my first roll. Not very many are presentable.<\/p>\n

While taking a late lunch downtown a man asked me if I would take his picture. Little did he know.<\/p>\n

His name is James B. Ross, he is new to town, and he said that he is the best drummer in town. He said that is saying a lot because Tulsa is a music town and is known to have great musicians. He just came here and is staying at the Salvation Army Shelter. He asked me if I knew that they had whole families down there. I said yep, I know.<\/p>\n

Anyway he is between gigs and doesn’t have a drum set. He told me, “No worries, it may take me a while but you will be hearing from me again.”<\/p>\n

He asked if he could see the pictures I took of him. I told him that I can’t because its a film camera. He looked at me and laughed. “I’m so sorry man, the new cameras are digital. You need to get one. So you can see what you are doing.”<\/p>\n

Have you ever had a homeless guy feel sorry for you?<\/p>\n

Good luck James B. Ross, I’m going to keep my ear to the ground for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
