This weekend I held an art event at the Cemetery were Martin Luther King Senior was laid to rest. Some of you may recall that the last time I attempted to take pictures in this cemetery I was mugged and all my equipment taken. That is why I decided to have an event the same day and time I was mugged. I wanted to reclaim that space in a peaceful way. The event went off without any trouble and we all had a real good time.
The artistic spectrum was interesting. We had some violin practice, toe nail painting, Tarot Card reading, photographs of course, and the usual deep philosophical discussions.
On top of all of this excitement I also used it as another opportunity to play around with many of the new features of my fancy new camera. I am using a Sony a55 now, replacing the Canon Rebel sx that was stolen. The Sony is quite amazing. Since I am a Zen photographer and do no post editing, I am falling in love with its real time filters. For instance the shot above was shot using its Black and White Posterizing effect.
All in all life for the photo-monk is good.
