Once upon a time (back in the old days before digital), there was a gal who owned several wonderfully eccentric Contax cameras with fabulous Zeiss lenses. She tried not to play favorites, but the 60mm macro was clsoest to her heart. With it, she spent hours photgraphing plants, rocks, and all the other wonders of earth Mother, both far and near.
Then, as sometimes happens in this, the richest country in the world, financial disater struck and there was no one she could turn to for help. Her dear Contax cameras ended up in a pawn shop along with the fabulous Zeiss lenses.
She often wonders if it was the pictures taken by the great optics or the excuse to get out and bask in Earth Mother's warmth that she liked most about photography.
