Zinnia was gracious enough to help me christen my new camera, the remarkable camera in the Iphone 12 Pro Max that arrived today.

I lay the old phone down next to the new one, as instructed, put in a password or two, and the new phone imported all of the data from the old phone in about five minutes.

I entered the password for my bank and a credit card, and the transition was complete.

I loved my Iphone 11 and had no need of a new Iphone, but the new camera is remarkable, I tried out a few new iPhones and the camera is, in fact, another leap forward.

I sold my old phone (for half the price of the new one) and because Zinnia was watching this process so diligently – she is very curious about what I do I asked her to pose.

Gracious as always, she did. I’ll share some of the first experiments with me. A therapist recently told me that most men my age are wary of change, she said I was unusual.

Photography is so important to me. It is another form of creation, another way to tell my story.

This shocked me. I knew I was unusual, but change is as natural to me as breathing. Change is life. I can already see the advances in color, in zooming, and in shooting in darkness. Standby.
