Dr Who Casting Rejects?
Another shot from April, 2004, shot as a jpeg, straight out of the Dimage A1 but with contemporary B&W processing in Capture One.
Collections
One day in February 2004, out of sheer boredom, I went around the apartment with the Dimage A-1, still shooting jpegs and photographed collections of things. Occasionally, I suffer a brief twinge of nostalgia for collections of stuff, in serried ranks on the wall, but mostly I’m glad they’ve all been digitized and streamed. Only the books remain, and perhaps the CDs are moldering somewhere in a box.
Abstract
We browsed in a furniture shop in Brooklyn one day back in January, 2004. Here’s another pic from the Dimage A-1 shot as a straight jpeg before I learned about Raw.
It’s curtains, I’m afraid
Back to Winter in New York, 2003.
Botanical
Not too many good shots this past weekend, so it’s back to the archives of December 2003 we go: Australian summer, New York winter.
A few more flowers from the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney, Australia that I missed on my last pass.

iPad Reflections
Former Window
Near the famous Sydney Opera House is a neighborhood called the Rocks. Walking about there in December , 2003 with my 5 MP Dimage A-1, I got this lovely sealed-up window.
Sydney Botanical Gardens
In December of 2003 I took a business trip to Sydney, Australia for a couple of weeks. What a city! I think I could live there quite happily. Naturally, I brought along the 5 MP Dimage A-1 that I was still shooting jpegs with. Click any picture to see them all bigger.
Leaves Pechanga
On a business trip to Pechanga, California in late 2003, I saw these incredible leaves and took a few quick shots with the 5MP Dimage A-1. Click any one fo them to see them all enlarged.
Hippo Mouth
Bas Relief
Bench
Fun with abstract shapes and tones and the new 5MP Dimage, November, 2003.
Slide
We’re still in the archive here, but at this point, Autumn, 2003, I’ve just decided digital has really arrived and I’ve bought the Minolta Dimage A-1, a “prosumer” all-in-one, 5 MP digital camera with a flip-up rear screen, built-in flash, 28-200mm (equivalent) lens – a camera I really loved. At this point, I haven’t yet learned about Raw and I’m still shooting jpegs straight out of the camera.
Behind the Curtain
Another low-res image from the archive, late summer, 2003.
Brickwork
Sticking with the archives, still, here’s a 2MP jpeg from September, 2003.
Beach Still Life
Life’s a Beach
So frigid weather sends me back to the archive. Here’s a selection of 2MP jpegs shot early in my digital period with the family Kodak at the beach, with a little modern editing in Capture One. Click any image to see them all enlarged.
Mars Rover Perseverance image?
No, it’s salad dressing. More fun with the Fujinon 60mm macro lens.
Thin Green Line
Another over-processed jpeg from 2002.
