Description
Sat. Jun 11thCentral Park, New York
My very first large format photo taken in a public place (that is, not in the back yard!
) 
I was more interested in the stairs and balustrades, paths, and people in the plaza than I was in the fountain itself. So please don't tell me that I cut off the fountain.
Camera: Calumet CC-402 w/Nikon SW 90mm. f/4.5 lens
Film: Ilford Pan F
Developer: Ilford Ilfotec DD-X 1+4

Richard
P. S. Is Jorgull your name, or just user name? I guess what I'm asking is what you prefer to be called

Cool, i'm really exited to discover your futurs shots
Jorgull is just a nickname (a little bit geek around the edges ahah) . You can call me Charlotte, or Cha... It's shorter ^^

Well Violet dear,
Unfortunately, this view was as wide as it gets with that camera and lens.
But I think you might like one of the images from Central Park that I hope to post next week. I still haven't received the slides I shot back yet.
I have missed you, so I hope that you com back on dA soon!

I love these stuffs! but they won't do with macro photography, sadly....
Can't wait to see more of your shots!
...and I am here all the time Richard, it's just You hanging around with different women

I figured that you knew what I meant before I even wrote that, but I just thought I should do my best to be clear. 
And I'm glad you're back on dA now. And as for "different women," remember, you're the one who left me - not the other way around! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Me??? I never left You! so You are saying that it's my fault?
be careful when You blame a woman for something...
because when You do, it's always hissy fit, shouts and black eyes on the way!
at the end You prefer to take the blame on you, believe me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, well I do fail - occasionally. . .
And I wouldn't actually say that I was blaming you.
And yes, I am fully aware that you are perfectly capable and willing to give me a black eye!
So yes dear, it's really all my fault. . .
Better? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
much better now Richard
You're learning fast!
(just get rid of the sarcasm between the lines and You'll be perfect!

Yes dear, I promise that I will. . .
Ultimately, I always do what you tell me. ; )

mhm I like it very much, Richard. It is also kinda nice to be able to see all the grass surrounding the fences or whatever youd call those tiny decor walls.

Three coins in the fountain Each one seeking happiness Thrown by three hopeful lovers Which one will the fountain bless?
I like this picture... I like the trees... Next time, you should roll up your pants and jump in the fountain and take a picture, that would be a nice selfie although you might get in trouble... Do people go in the fountain often???

I am more of a lover of life...as it happens....the fountain,as wonderful as it is...will always b there...life is fleeting, and has 2 be captured in the moment.
Your capture is of life...in a beautiful setting... just my opinion.
