Jeremy Green “A Prancing Glance” 12/12/23

Mount Vernon Place is a beautiful hilltop spot in old Baltimore that is adorned with statuary and monuments, park lawns, fountains, an art museum, a house of worship, and the nation’s oldest conservatory of music. It’s just a lovely place. I visit a designer friend’s studio in the area frequently when I’m close by. I hear music, real and imagined, as I walk the streets there. This is a vignette captured on my way—a glance of prancing Lafayette reflected in the window of the conservatory.

Can a “pocket camera” be considered a professional grade tool? Although I had a big DSLR with me at the time on my recent job in Memphis, for this vignette in my hotel bathroom I used the Sony RX100 IV, which closes down and literally fits in a pocket. For certain subjects, those that harken back to my initial photographic explorations when I was young, this pocket camera is my go-to camera. It’s fast and easy, produces high grade raw files, and has built-in image stabilization. Because of its ease of use and speed, I shoot differently with it. I sometimes am surprised at what I have gotten when I review several days’ worth of images captured on this camera. There’s more intuition than thought in the pictures. There clearly is no reason for me to shoot a picture of a toilet seat, but I just couldn’t let that light go without capturing it.
