Well, it would be bad for the artistic part but good for the industry.<br /><br />That is something digital does very well and a reason that I fear going MF; The format might be too big for the photographer. <br />Should try however because I'm a very low volume shooter (like you mentioned sometime in the blog) and a 8-12 exposure roll plus the bigger neg sounds great to me. <br /><br />Somehow, my interest in 35mm wore off and well, the camera is there, behind my desk, and the rolls are frozen. I fear that going up to MF would end like this too... or it could be a boon...<br /><br />On labor days I always use the cameraphone to snap things I come across... Usually during commute (trains) or stuff happening at uni. The phone can be used as a recorder (for lectures and such) too!<br /><br />On the topic of driving, so true! My dad has taught me driving because we live near a small deserted industrial park where no one sees you drive. Great place to practice driving. Farther away there are some small country roads where no one passes and it's a good place for driving.<br /><br />But somewhere like Spain, and in the periphery of Barcelona, a driving license is a must. Not for daily life (I commute in train) but for other general uses, outside of the big city.<br /><br />(my bad, seems like I write too much)Georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-87977576743037738712012-11-30T09:35:21.393+09:002012-11-30T09:35:21.393+09:00Neither camera nor photographer I'm afraid, bu...Neither camera nor photographer I'm afraid, but volume.

You stop doing _anything_ for 20 years...Hi George!<br /><br />You stop doing _anything_ for 20 years and you will forget how to do it. And live traffic is _not_ the place to get back into it. Lessons really would be necessary.<br /><br />But really, I don't like driving. It's boring and a chore. Being a passenger in a cramped, dark, shaking car is not much better. Much prefer public transportation, where I can read, surf the web or study.<br />Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455782214242472677.post-92141826388834992292012-11-29T06:52:43.172+09:002012-11-29T06:52:43.172+09:00Great to hear things are rolling well.

Janne, I must thank you as every once on a while, on your posts you put some advice that a now college) student can use.<br /><br />Didn't know about Google Hangout, Sounds useful for group work, as I have to commute 1:20h for getting to my uni, and on some days it ain't worth it.<br /><br />And about optimising commute, the morning commute is about resting, looking at the landscape (sunrise). And back home it's about talking with classmates.<br />The nice part of commuting through a railway that passes a popular mediterranean coastline is the landscape, but it doesn't help to do work.<br /><br />I found your driving license matter amusing. Having driven trucks for the swedish army yet now.. nothing... all about practice and getting used into.Georgenoreply@blogger.com
