Gear Talk: Pentax K1000

Ok… I know… a lot of people will hate me for this… Pentax K1000, a great cheap camera at that times… a very overpriced camera on the used market! . . I promise, next time some camera I love more…

One of the most classic and iconic Pentax cameras. This camera introduced the TTL integrated meter and was a revolutionary camera that changed SLRs. Beautiful lenses available with m42 screw mount. Watch the video to learn more. . . The camera in the video was part of my first Phoenix Photo Project that was recognized at the London International Creative Competition. . . Until the next camera!

To express complex ideas we need complex formal languages. In visual arts one of the most important language is composition. In this week print I wonder why we moved from complex form of compositions to the banality of a “mandatory” rule of thirds… and I wonder also about some other things… It’s a long ranting, you are advised! lol . . . Until the next one…

A real summer t-storm with rain… better than a AI created fake sunny day. Sometime I just use film photography to document a moment with a medium that cannot be manipulate by AI to create a fake reality. But I’m an old dinosaur still thinking that ethic is essential and truth exists. . . . See you next time!

There is no reason to not have a culture when public libraries are free and open to everyone… at least if you understand what culture is and do not confuse it with shared ignorance. . . . See you next time.

Finally after the COVID jail I took some days of vacation. I was in Numana, in the Marche region in Italy. Beautiful place. . . . Best part of the vacation was to see that people are having enough of all the stupidity of the Italian government and the Covid BS used to enslave us. That was really positive! Stay well, until the next time!

If we forget to look for the beauty in the world, we will forget the power to create it and will become only able to appreciate destruction and decadence. . . . See you next time.

How many bureaucrats does it take to screw in a light bulb? One to spot the burned-out bulb, his supervisor to authorize a requisition, a requisition typist, twelve clerks to file the requisition copies, a mail clerk to deliver the requisition to the purchasing department, a purchasing agent to order the bulb, a clerk to forward the purchasing order, a clerk to mail-order a receiving clerk to receive the bulb … . . . See you next time, if we will not be in the dark 😉 .

Will David get his sling and fight the Goliath mob or will he too will succumb to the modern bullies? . . “That violence is not practical. If my fellow men believe that the force of the combined tonnage of their muscles is a practical means to rule me — let them learn the outcome of a contest in which there’s nothing but brute force on one side, and force ruled by a mind, on the other.” Ragnar Danneskjold – from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. . . See you next time… if David will stand! .
