[Why?]
Photography is a reductive art. The photographer cuts a thin slice from reality and serves it flat on a plate for the viewer. The lens obliterates the universe beyond the frame. The focal plane strips away a dimension. The shutter's blink crystallizes the temporal, collapsing an infinite cascade of instants into a single sum. For these reasons, the photographer's vision is necessarily partial.
[Gear]
A photographer without a camera is like an Eskimo in the Sahara: uncomfortable and probably lost. Most of PartialSight is created with the help of a tank-solid Pentax K10D SLR behind Sigma's walk-around-delicious 2.8-4.5 17-70mm DC MACRO lens. Some long shots see the K10D backing up Pentax's own cost-effective and feather-weight SMC DA 4-5.6 50-200mm. When the lights are down I might switch to the Pentax SMCP-FA 35mm AL with its bokehrific f 2.0 speediness. I also have an old SMC Pentax 1.7 50mm M for street cred, and because I like to admire the amber coating. It says Asahi on it. Like the beer, baby.
