Everything said above! I especially like the texture/detail in the weathered wood. The detail does a lot for me.

Thank y'all (I have to say that or I will be evicted from Florida!) bsdunek, tony, and OptiKen. Yes, tony, it is nice to be on the beach with a camera, but in this season, it's a lot less nice than you'd think. I'll return in November perhaps...temps should be in the 70s or thereabout. (Yes, thank you, I'll have some cheese with that whine! lol)

Your square compositions are always rigorously perfect. Yet I suspect the process is one of intuition rather than analytical rigor. That said, I'm curious. When looking through the viewfinder of a 6x7 camera, do you consciously try to see the square and arrange within that envelope? Or do you simply center, then tidy up the corners and edges after the fact? Or perhaps something else?

One pleasure of the 6x7 format is its flexibility. I am sometimes very grateful to have some selvage when I've got what I want more or less in the center of the photograph. But, most of my stuff isn't actually square. Check the dimensions...you'll see. Much as I'd love a Hasselblad for the leaf shutter with no battery, I'd feel very restricted by the rigid square. Thanks for asking.
