Mallory's Camera

New toy arrived. I shot this portrait of some Kurdish women in Steinbeck Plaza from a distance of about twenty feet – granted, I chopped it badly so the margin is white on white and of course I shrunk it down for web viewing, but the detail and clarity of the images in the original are really quite amazing, every bit as good as a 35m film camera.

One problemo – the reference guide appears to have been decoded from an ancient Mayan codex into a pattern language that is not English though it shares grammar and vocabulary features in common with English. The learning curve is gonna be steep.
