A way of seeing…
While in Cub Scouts, which must have been in the
mid-50s, I used plans in Boys’ Life to build a pin-
hole camera. The camera “body” was a Folgers
one-pound coffee can. The “lens” was a nail hole
poked through the can, and the “shutter” was a
piece of electrical tape over the hole. The inside of
the can was painted black, and there was a sheet
film holder made of cardboard. I don’t remember
if I actually took any photos with the Folgers can,
but I was obviously interested in photography at
an early age.
My first real camera was a Kodak "Holiday
Flash." It had a screw-on flash bulb holder, which
had a plastic flap over the bulb to keep the glass
fragments from spraying by-standers should the
bulb explode. I still have that camera.
Close to my high school graduation, my mother
gave me a 35mm Zeiss Icon from Smile-a-Minute
Camera. On her budget, that purchase was a real
stretch, but I must have somehow communicated
that I was ready for a serious camera. I wish I still
had the Zeiss, but it is long gone.

In about 1971, I enrolled in my first photography
class at the University of Wisconsin – Lacrosse,
where I was teaching, and I bought a Minolta
srT101, which I pretty much wore out over the
next 10 years.
After I joined the faculty at Oklahoma State
University in 1977, I took additional photography
courses at Meridian Technology in Stillwater. I
met my spouse, Martha, in one of those classes.
We eventually had a darkroom at home, where we
developed film and printed.
Work and school consumed more and more time,
and, when the Minolta failed in the mid-80s, I was
pretty much finished with photography until I
bought my first digital camera, a 4 megapixel Fuji
point-and-shoot, in 2002. With that camera, I took
what is probably the best photo I will ever take.
When that photo won a small-pond award, I was
again hooked on photography.
The camera arsenal now consists of two film
cameras, a 35mm Nikon F100, and a medium-
format Bronica ETRS, and three Nikon digital
cameras, a D80, a D300, and a D700. For the
Nikons, I am fortunate to own a nice set of Nikkor
zoom lenses (a 14-24mm f/2.8, a 24-70mm f/2.8,
and a 70-200mm f/2.8 VRI), two Nikkor primes (a
35mm f/2.8 PC, and a 300mm f/4), and four Carl
Zeiss primes (a Distagon 2.8 / 25mm ZF, a
Distagon 2.0 /35mm, a Planar 1.4 / 50mm ZF, and
a Makro Planar 2.0 / 100 mm ZF).
Although I no longer develop film, I scan
negatives and slides in-house, and I do all my own
printing. Prints are made using archival inks, and
all mounting materials are acid-free, and of
archival quality. With proper care, my prints
should last a century.
My main photographic interest is architecture,
which no-doubt stems from my early ambition to
be an engineer. Rather than wide-angle views of
buildings, I am drawn to semi-close ups of details.
Whether the focus is a building or something else,
I like images that are abstract, the best of which
are, at first glance, unrecognizable for what they
are (or, as my friend Dan MacDonald has
suggested, a "shot that initially throws a quirk into
the viewer's perception").
Photography is, for me, more than an art form—it
is my "dharma door," an escape from stress, and a
gateway to continued learning. That others may
like what I do is a pleasant bonus.

Hunt Winners
The idea behind these special competitions is to get us out of our comfort zone and
think outside the box. Think of how you can take a photo of these subject matters
that no one has ever taken before, not because the subject has never been shot – but
because it has never been shot in a manner as seen in YOUR photo. Get the
creative juices flowing and think of how you might take the shot in a way to make it
more interesting, more engaging or just plain more fun. And, I hope each of you
has fun with this – the categories were taken from a fairly long list of ideas
suggested by Metro Camera Club members during our last field trip – so this is
something for all of us to do, whether you choose to enter PDI photos, cell phone
photos, or both, just participate and have some fun doing it – that is the purpose of
these special competitions. So, get out there and SHOOT something! -Lynn Nunn
