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 […]

Sidewalk LOMO series – SOMA district, San Francisco
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.

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
Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under art, film, 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…

Barriers
Posted at 10:20 pm | Filed Under art, film
I do most of my shooting with a collection of junk store plastic cameras and a freezer full of film I’m working through. Digital doesn’t compare to film – not knowing what I’m going to get until I get the roll back is delayed gratification compared to chimping on a LCD display seconds after the shot […]

Don’t think, just shoot
Posted at 7:19 am | Filed Under art, film, journal
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 […]

Plastic Camera Redux
Posted at 9:14 am | Filed Under art, film
I found a roll of old photos from my TIME Camera and tried cleaning up some of the spots and lines from processing in Photoshop.

My new plastic favorite, the Vivitar IC 100
Posted at 6:50 pm | Filed Under art, film
The Vivitar IC 100 is rapidly turning into one of my favorite toy cameras. I broke from my usual “100 speed film only rule” and shot this roll on Fuji Superia 400. With the fixed 1/85th second shutter and f/5.6 aperture, I can use all the light sensitivity I can get!

From my friend Splicer’s blog. I’m going to try to make the opening tonight, otherwise I’ll be there tomorrow. Splicer and I go way back. He’s someone who knew me first as “Poindexter”…

Refreshing
Posted at 10:00 pm | Filed Under art, film
This pic came off the first test roll from my Vivitar IC 100, a $1 plastic camera I picked up recently. It’s pretty standard looking. The insides could come from a LOMO Colorsplash or any number of unremarkable cameras. A simple lens, shutter speed and aperture fixed at 1/100th sec and f/5.6, and cheap enough […]
