Thomas Fitzgerald Photography

This is one of of the first pictures I ever took with a digital camera. Well, sorry, with a digital SLR. I took this in 2004 using my then brand new Canon Eos 300D. In fact it was in the very first batch of pictures I took with it, and to this day it remains one of my favorites. If I was to take it again today, I probably would have focussed on the number and not the front, or perhaps even stop down a bit to get both in focus. Still, there’s something about this image that I love. I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it’s just nostalgia. The boat of course is long since gone. The whole area where I took it has dramatically changed in fact, but then I guess this is true of any area in these times.

I was looking around the apartment this evening for something to take a picture of for my 365 project seen as I couldn’t get outside today due to the atrocious weather. I thought that this picture of my boots was appropriate as they looked forlorn at being kept inside.
