My best shot, I think. A thin man run­ning, in deep thought. The old man next to him, frail, in jux­ta­po­si­tion with the run­ning man. For a moment, it was like his future, or maybe the old man”s past, divided by the sig­nal line cross­ing — this is his last run, he doesn”t want to fail. That”s why the title — my only chance, my last run, father

I couldn’t wait. This is the most expen­sive, seri­ous equip­ment I ever bought. (After my home the­ater sys­tem, of course). With the new Canon 5D Mark II in my hands, I was like a teenage boy dis­cov­er­ing his half grown mous­tache. As a part of our work­shop project, we took the neigh­bour­hood — Davis Square in Somerville for shoot­ing peo­ple at an “event” or pub­lic place. With Boston”s Inde­pen­dent Film Fes­ti­val in the back­ground at Somerville The­ater, I wanted to see what peo­ple do, who aren”t a part of the fes­ti­val. Espe­cially on a 78 degree sunny day. I saw peo­ple — run­ning, bik­ing, stretched & fac­ing the sky, some­times. It”s amaz­ing what you see, when you don”t see what every­body sees.

I couldn’t get many shots, but I got a few. Canon 5D Mark II is impec­ca­ble, if there”s a fault, it”s only the pho­tog­ra­pher. The HD Video … is another story. It”s like Canon has rein­vented SLR again! All the pics shot on a 100-300mm Canon L Series Tele­photo (had to sneak in cor­ners to shoot strangers)
