Having been putting a camera up to my eye or my eyeglasses since the 60s I now spend time looking around on the web to find photography and photographic information that delights my appetite for the result of careful viewing of the planet and its inhabitants. And man, is that a load of fun.

Saul Panzer (returned from reality alive) People In B&W - The Faroe Islands 2005-2006

If you would like to see some fine photographs of people from the Faroe Islands, check out this slide show on flickr by Saul Panzer, his assumed name from the dectective fiction of Rex Stout.  Fresh, relaxed, direct, empathetic portraits of Faroe Islanders. Panzer shows great skill and sensitivity in his work.  Born in 1954. A real pleasure to view.

Rangefinder Camera Group on flickr

flickr has some amazing photos posted on it....but it also has a zillion groups - some are eccentric and perhaps micro-niche in their speficity (group of photos of hands and feet, discarded food, etc.). 

One group that has a wider slice of life is the rangefinder group. You can see photos of all subjects made with rangefinder cameras.  In the discussion threads you will find facts and opinions about to use these cameras, their strengths and weaknesses.

Over 1,500 members and over 16,000 photos posted.

It is a good group and is worth checking out.  For that matter, all of flickr, even the cat photos can be a lot of fun.
