71/365 (12/03)
A macro world through 50-year-old glass: Today’s image is a delve into the miniature world, captured using an inverted Pentacon 50mm lens from my grandfather's 50-year-old camera. Reversing a vintage lens like this creates a makeshift macro effect, and it’s been a fascinating exercise in "slow photography" to manage the paper-thin depth of field. I caught this ant navigating the rugged, mountainous terrain of a garden log. There is something deeply satisfying about using family history to document the present; it forces me to look even closer at the details I usually cycle right past.
This 365 project is about slowing down and paying attention.
Training my eye to see both the obvious and the overlooked.
Finding photographs in everyday moments, not just destinations.
