I only became aware of the Dear Susan community a few years ago. With interest I followed, then timidly I posted a few photos, then I submitted a few articles. The response has been nothing but positive. I don’t know how Pascal Jappy has nurtured this experience, but his vision has provided nothing but encouragement […]

Visitors to the UK from “Amber” countries need to self quarantine for 5 days at a location of their choice. It doesn’t seem like a long time, until you go through it 😉 Long time no post, sorry about that. My son recently got married 🙂 🙂 🙂 To attend, we booked a trip […]

Here’s the reasoning […]

2020 has been hard on all of us and harder still on some of us. Regular readers/contributors have disappeared altogether, which fills me with dread and grief.

All good things come to an end, this will be our final challenge. But it’s been a good one, and things to come should be just as interesting and even more engaging! Storytelling gets a bad rap. Ask any film editor and they’ll tell you filmmaking is manipulation. Politicians wrap up facts and intentions in […]

My last post reported that Olympus had decided to exit the photography market. Sad! Coincidentally, nary a week later, a new company is launched that has a product that -to say the least- dares to be different. Innovative and bold! This company is Pixii. It first announced its plans in 2018, and got itself a […]

There are few industries if any, that report numbers as horrible as photography. Total sales of cameras down 86% from their peak. So, to use the title of the last film made -and never released- by Marilyn Monroe, “something’s got to give”. Too many manufacturers chasing too few sales. And no cake to eat when […]
