Artie Facts

The images in this set and indeed the whole album ‘Swedish Camera Club’ are very much about a lesson of learning. In an attempt to move closer towards the true essence of analogue photography the Olympus Pen EE series ‘point and shoot’ cameras I typically use for my triptych studies were retired to the display cabinet and simple but solidly built Olympus Pen-S was summoned for the shutter work.
Without the mechanical automation marvels of the Maitani’s electric eye exposure system and the focus free fixed lenses that accompanies the Pen EE models, I did have to work harder to obtain a sharp focus and a decent exposure on the Pen-S.
Set the focus distance. Set the shutter speed. Set the aperture. Press the shutter release. These steps all sound simple enough but growing up in a world of automation and obliging machines calculating and compensating for correctness, I had much to learn.
So I learned to count in feet. Judge distances by eye and chant ancient mantras from the book of Sunny 16.
