Posted at 5:55 pm | Filed Under art

New from the Photojojo store… most of my photos are never really finished, now I can display them that way! I wonder if they’ll come out with a PC version?

Window Reflection, SOMA

Posted at 7:23 pm | Filed Under art, film, lomo

I bought 10 rolls of expired Fuji Superia Reala 100 from the Lomographic Society. It’s been a while since I shot with Reala, but I can’t see any significant degradation in color. Maybe it’s not that expired, after all?

Jukebox, Canon FTb

Posted at 10:24 pm | Filed Under art, film

I’m continually amazed by the results I get with a good professional film,  an old-school mechanical SLR like my Canon FTb and a 50mm prime lens. This was shot pretty close to wide-open, probably F/2.8 at the most…

Slow Photography in an instantaneous age

Posted at 1:11 pm | Filed Under blog

http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/17/ essay-slow-photography-in-an-instantaneous-age/ Fast is fine, but slow can be much better. Digital photography and the ascent of the Web have quickened our jobs. Instead of one deadline a day, we now have continual deadlines, bringing exponentially increasing speed to what we do at The Times. One advantage of using larger formats is that the process […]

Posted at 6:25 pm | Filed Under art, lomo

Another sidewalk series photo from the SOMA district in San Francisco. I’ve walked the same streets and alleys in SOMA continually for 15 years and am amazed at the things I see for the first time when looking through the viewfinder.

Telecommunications Terms – a glossary

Posted at 11:26 am | Filed Under blog

A  key system has multi-line phones with keys that you  press to get dial tone on a specific line from the phone company’s Central Office  (CO), or to answer a call. In smaller key systems, incoming calls  usually ring at several — or all — phones. In bigger key systems, calls  usually go to the […]

Plates, Jingletown (Oakland) CA – Part II

Posted at 6:51 am | Filed Under art, film, lomo

Here’s a different perspective of the previous post, showing a little more scale of whatever these things are. And, my sense of scale is way off – those pallets in the background are probably 4 feet wide at least.

Plates, Jingletown (Oakland) CA

Posted at 8:21 am | Filed Under art, lomo

  The scale of this photo is misleading. It looks like a small-ish dished plate, but they’re actually two machined plates approximately 12 feet in diameter. Taken out in Jingletown, a post-industrial/art studio/loft neighborhood nestled between Oakland and Alameda near the Oakland Estuary. Jingletown Open Studios coincides with the Pro Arts East Bay Open Studios […]

Kitchen LOMO

No other camera can work with low light as well as a LOMO does. Load a roll of slow film, hand-hold the camera, brace it against a lamp post, hold your breath and shoot…

Film is not dead…

Posted at 6:35 pm | Filed Under film, journal

…But it’s not moving around much. My local film sources are drying up, and I’ve had to resort to buying film on the (gasp!) internet. Wolf/Ritz Cameras used to sell Fuji Superia 100/24 4 packs but the last few stores I checked said they haven’t received ANY FILM in their last few shipments. WAL*MART and […]
