My First Leica…
Posted at 6:06 am | Filed Under journal
“My First Leica!…” I’ve heard people raving about Leica glass for years, and I’ve wanted a Leica M series rangefinder for as long as I’ve been serious about photography. Leica quality comes at a premium price, though, and I could never justify the cost. Until now.

What Every Aspiring Photographer Should Know
Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under film, journal
Here’s a wonderful bit of advice for aspiring photographers from Cheryl Jacobs Nicolai at PhotoDino. What Every Aspiring Photographer Should Know These are my thoughts, nothing more and nothing less. I get asked all the time, during workshops, in e-mails, in private messages, what words of wisdom I would give to a new and aspiring […]

Livejournal user alexdoomer2009 took this wonderful series of photos as an abandoned military airplane scrapyard, somewhere in the Eastern Bloc. I loved his pictures so much I wanted to share them here. All pictures are the property of “Alex Doomer” His original Livejournal post: http://community.livejournal.com/abandonedplaces/1928500.html More of his photos: http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/alexdoomer007

Wondering about the Diana Mini
Posted at 7:11 pm | Filed Under journal
So, if the Diana Mini can shoot 72 half-frame pictures on a 36 exposure roll, or 36 square exposures, does the film advance advance the film on 24×36 boundaries? Two half-frame shots should print out on a 4×6 print with a fine line between them, and normal spacing between 2 half-frame shots. I’m assuming the […]

Photos of science fiction writers’ nests
Posted at 6:11 pm | Filed Under art, journal
Kyle Cassidy has a great new project: “Where I Write: Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers in Their Creative Spaces.” In 2000, I found Kyle’s “Leicaslacker” pages and found his writing entertaining and his photos deserving of envy. I followed Kyle’s Armed America project through his LiveJournal, and continually wish I’d taken his photos.

Exposure-Mat, a free light meter (no batteries required!)
Posted at 7:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal
I’m a big fan of the Sunny 16 Rule for determining exposure. Print film is forgiving enough that you don’t always have to get the exposure *exactly* right to get a good shot. The”Sunny 16″ rule, paraphrased, says, “Set the shutter speed to the reciprocal of the film speed, and set the aperture to f/4 […]

Sketch Tuesday was a hit. Sketch Tuesday is a monthly event at 111 Minna Gallery where artists get together, art snobblers and hangers-about mingle, watch artists at work, drink beverages and purchase art at crazy-low prices directly from the artists. June’s event included the following artists:

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 […]

This LOMO mantra’s been getting easier for me – since I’ve been growing my hair longer and spring breezes are here, I’m having a hard time looking through the viewfinder without my hair getting in the way of the lens or the viewfinder! I shot a roll of some generic $.99 cent store ISO 200 […]

Always check your settings…
Posted at 4:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal, lomo
I’m a bargain shopper, and when I see film on sale or closeout (which is happening more and more these days) I stock up. I bought all of Walgreens’ Kodak HD400 film when they closed it out a couple of years ago, and it sat in my freezer ever since. I’ve had a fixation with […]
