09.01.08 : A Lake in Boulder : nature : hasselblad 500c | muzak : purchase
I know this one has some technical problems (I really should have used a gradient ND filter), but I'm posting anyway. It was one of the first shots that I took with my new Hasselblad (up in Boulder, Colorado). I had no idea if the light meter was working, had a roll of 400 film inside (I just drove by this and knew I had to shoot), and thought the camera was broken as I tried to press the shutter and nothing happened. I hadn't taken the dark slide out. For whatever reason, I thought the purchase was going to be a disaster. Then I scanned the film and saw this. Technical reasons aside, it means a bit to me. We 'photographers' and our cameras... It's silly, really.
