C. Gary Moyer has always been concerned about getting the sharpest picture. A detour thru Keith Carter and Mark Sinks imagery changed all that. He now spends most of his time shooting, collecting, and writing about plastic cameras. Catch his regular column- “Garys Toy Box” in Light Leaks magazine.

    A wonderful photographer! Thanks for sharing – The photos of the boy and bowling alley are my favourites.

    Hey Little Girl is my favourite of the lot.
    It’s actually a visually complex picture but all the elements are needed to convey the mood, I think – the boardwalk and the background to the right establish the setting, the crowd and the adult to the left give us assurance – minus any of these and the shot would look creepy!
    The low POV mimics the child’s POV, and the child’s posture tells us how she must be feeling.

I will keep trying out the lenses in some more different [...]
