About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Sunset photo with Sony a6000 and Minolta 500mm AF reflex lens

This is a sunset photo I made with a Sony a6000 and Minolta 500mm AF reflex lens. I used the Sony LA-EA4 lens adapter to attach the 500mm lens to the camera. The adapter permits the auto focus to work. Auto focus did not work with earlier adapters.
