This may have been my Ricoh GX100 rather then my much more used GRD. But in any case we are looking at a very small sensor camera body albeit a fine quality type.

I am gratified by the support for these older works, they don't just tumble out of a post-processing filter. But in some way they show that it is the essence of the feeling generated by the capture that is probably just as important as the complexity and investment size of the gear that was originally used to create it.

I have just a few un-manipulated images that were in a photographic sense 'failures' that somehow I quite like. Will have to find them and post them just for an illustration that an awful capture result can be accidentally worth looking at if we ever confess it to be 'ours'.
