I love the @rwboyer Nikon F3 Giveaway!

If you haven’t heard yet, head over the the RB Design blog, and check out the Nikon F3 Giveaway.  His tweets as he was formulating the giveaway happened to come across on the same day my oldest brought home his first set of negatives from his high school photography class.

In the image above he shooting one of the frames on that roll for a depth-of-field assignment.  I love the care that’s evident as he sets up this shot.   Something about these early SLRs and film really makes one cherish a single frame, compose it carefully and give it such individual attention.

I’m not going to throw my hat in the ring for the F3, but I encourage you to — if you think will put it to some good use.  I’m happy merely to be motivated now to take my own vintage SLR that I rescued via eBay last year.  In my case, its a Canon A-1 — in mint shape — that I’m sure has a lot of clicks left on it.   It’s been getting dusty, but I’m off to get some film!!!   Thanks for the motivation Rob!
