  • Photos About Nothing

    I’ve been spending way too much time staring at test shots of new cameras, peering into the shadows of wine bottles and 100% crops of moving objects. Plenty of home office book shelves and backyards as well. And cats. With their tongues sticking out. Which got me thinking that these test shots have a zeitgeist…

    Don’t throw away your old photos. Put them in a shoebox and stick them in the basement. Or put them on a hard drive and stick the drive in your safety deposit box. Just don’t throw them away. One day you’ll open up the dusty old box and find a photo that you didn’t think…

    Looming. Large., originally uploaded by john m flores. Went into “The City” today (there is only one) to meet an old friend in town. Was ready to head out the door with the Pentax K20d and a fistful of primes, the Canon G10 as backup, and the Olympus XA to play with. At the last…

    Point & Shoot + 20 Year Old Flash = Compact Setup, originally uploaded by john m flores. A small reminder of how big things have gotten. Mind you, in the modern world the Pentax K20d is a diminutive little rascal, a mere meerkat to the lions and tigers and bears and hulking Nikons and Canons…

    Homeward, originally uploaded by john m flores. The fading sun and the train lights dance together on the ride home. I hope that I never become too jaded or too old to appreciate these small incidental moments of beauty.

    Mother and Child, originally uploaded by john m flores. Took this photo 13 years ago, the only shot where this poor little girl is looking right at me and the camera. Seeing her look at me through the years gives me chills. I wonder where she is?

    1997 PAGES Medical Mission – more waiting, originally uploaded by john m flores. Do the math – 120-130 operations in a week is about 17-18 operations a day. For each patient there are 2 or more family members, resulting in a lot of people waiting for their turn. For those lucky enough to go first,…
