The GRD4 is not broken but has some flaws. Does that count ? 😉
Kids are going back to school. Back to street soon. I went with my Fuji last friday in the streets and it doesn’t feel good in my hands. Too bulky and it was like wearing a big red nose. We get use to the leaf shutter and the tiny size of the Ricoh GRD4. After reviewing all these old photos from Liverpool and 2016, I wanted to go again on the streets with this camera, but the magic is not here anymore. I spent too many years with the Ricoh to adapt to another camera. May be some time is needed but I don’t have time to loose. Why changing ? As I said to get out of my comfort zone ? Well I like routine …

I had a look to his work and what he’s offering. What struck me as well is the 8000€ per wedding ! And you have to add the travel expenses !! Come on, it seems way too expensive … He’s a good photographer, we can see it in his work, but i don’t like the approach of making money on photography. Well you can do money on it, but clearly he wants to sell you patronage, mentoring, postcards, prints … It looks more like a business thing rather than photography. This is one of the reason why I stopped following a guy like Eric Kim. Photography is a just excuse to make money. Don’t get me wrong, He’s producing excellent work but i don’t like his approach

Photography is so zen, fancy AF and burst modes are meaningless unless there’s some mindfulness going on. Terrific job as always maestro.]]> Where’s the fun without a challenge Jeff? Crowds, light problems, clutter, framing, concentration, one eye on the kids…I know, let’s make it harder and use a broken camera😉 Stillness is the solution to it all. Photography is so zen, fancy AF and burst modes are meaningless unless there’s some mindfulness going on. Terrific job as always maestro.

Hi John,
Had a look at George Tatakis, clearly an excellent photographer. I noticed that if you want him to shoot a wedding it’s only by invite once someone applies and if he has time. Then it’s a little matter of €8,000 plus travel expenses!! Time to increase my prices.

Keep well and get those cameras out of your bag.
Cheers. John

Recently added used Leica Q and winter finally going away here moving to Spring. U really enjoy urself and that counts a lot in my book. U and Mr Harper have to take a look at http://www.tatakis.com. Man us Greek photog who uses Leica Q, is doing project on his Greek culture and photo ing folks in their native costumes, really great stuff, u guys and ur families stay well.
