Quote of the Day: Peggy Guggenheim


"A collection means hard work. It was what I wanted to do, and I made it my life's work. I am not an art collector; I am a museum."

– Peggy Guggenheim

I like cameras and lenses well enough, there's no point in denying it, but I guess I'm not a bona fide collector cuz I can't say I work very hard at it. For me, it's been more of a random walk through the wilderness. Still, this image was made using the Mamiya 645 and a 80 mm f/1.9 lens. At one time the 80 mm was the fastest medium format lens you could get. Definitely collectable. A good, but not stellar imager, if I'm honest.
