my magic camera

I was really disappointed in the way my camera picked up the background and repairs through the layers of paint in the room where I did the old-new-old fresco work. I couldn't show the effect of the finished images. Today, however, I am most excited about this magic camera (it's really nothing special, just a little automatic to cart around with me).

I was photographing a very ancient work with the intention of finding a little more about it. It is filthy, covered in dust, hard to see.

The magic camera went through the dust and the happy owners could see more detail on my tiny screen than they could close up to the work.

Strange.

Today I am grateful that my camera survived when I dropped it from the scaffolding onto the concrete.
