In praise of the new way to record the world around you

I’m a geologist, an occasional cartoonist and now a digital camera enthusiast, well actually I might be an addict. Anyway one of the first things I realized about digital photography was something no one had felt worthy of a mention not in shops not in magazine, and not in general discussion over a beer at the club, it was the more creative side of the technology. Perhaps the message is there but overwhelmed in the hype. I definitely won’t be much help to choosing the best camera. My advice to you is very simple, buy a camera you are happy with and learn how to use it.

I hope this collection of ideas and photos lets you see some of the magic of digital photography.
