Someone in an interview on Fstoppers.com called me, "Truly gear agnostic." I think they meant it as a compliment. At least I took it that way. The context of the statement was a discussion about how people get locked into brands and are loathe to change even when the change may benefit them. I was cited as an example of a person who largely rejected brand loyalty and would generally seek to match the camera to my project, my point of view----my mood. I like to play with different systems because it keeps my mind and fingers from getting bored. The flip side of the equation is that you have to learn a lot of different menus in order to play camera roulette. I suck at memorizing menus...
At one point a few years ago I decided that I really liked the Sony Nex-6. The price to play wasn't very steep so I bought one and the little kit lens, and a 50mm, and went zooming around taking photographs. Over time I found out what I didn't like about the camera and moved on but it was refreshing to go back through a Lightroom catalog and see what that little camera could do. These images were all taken one afternoon in downtown Austin. At the time I was obsessed with peoples' obsessions with their cellphones. But I did veer from that theme when I came across other images that begged to be taken. Camera set to black and white. Phasers set to stun. Go.

The other day I saw a group of five women, together, all texting on their phones. I can only assume they were texting each other. Personal interaction is even more of a dinosaur than your Nikkor 105mm lens.
Just curious: NEX 6 or @6000 ?
Sony Kenneth, It should read Nex-6. I'll change it in the title. Thanks!
Kirk,
I'm curious: what didn't you like about the camera? My beef with them was the jpg engine. Hated the color. Otherwise a great little box.

Hmm. the ergonomics didn't do it for me and the lens range was spotty when I owned the camera. Also, the focus was a bit slow.
I have to agree with John W.; especially the "band" image; priceless!
How true are your words, loyalism may lead to blindness if not dealt with carefully. Oh, and very nice monochromes!
I enjoyed reviewing the photos. Thanks.
