Hell Freezes Over
Friday, August 31st, 2007
That’s one possible explanation. Others say it’s a sure sign of the apocalypse. I shot a roll of film yesterday. That’s the first time this century. As you know if you’ve been reading this blog, I’ve been playing around with a Holga lens mounted on my Nikon D200. I started wondering what it would do […]
Back to the digital Holga
Monday, August 27th, 2007
I guess back is the right word since this lens throws photography back by a century or so. But for some subjects it has a nice effect, so I expect I’ll keep using it now and then. This is another of Angeliqua Oryx http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=441345 out at the farm a week or so back. More from […]
Another Tool
Friday, August 24th, 2007
I’ve ranted here before about the unimportant nature of the tools we choose for our work. There is no virtue attached to the tools, other than what comes from the quality of their construction or their designed-in ability to achieve their intended purpose. Cameras and lenses are tools. Photographs are what photography is about. We […]
Another Fuzzy Farm Photo
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007
I’ve been having a lot of fun working with my new Holga lens on my D200. I really like the results, so I think I’ll be posting more of them here. This is Angeliqua http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=441345 out at the farm last Saturday. She is a beautiful lady and did a great job modeling while getting all […]
More Digital Holga
Monday, August 20th, 2007
Here’s another photo from the farm shot with the “digital Holga” a Holga lens mounted on my Nikon D200. I’m very pleased with the results I’m getting with this cheapie lens. I was back at the farm this weekend with my friend, Gary Mitchell http://garymphoto.blogspot.com/ This time I worked with a new model, Angeliqua Oryx […]
Vassanta
Thursday, August 16th, 2007
I’m actually making a little headway on editing. I don’t know how long that will last, though, because I have several models who want to set up shoots in the next few days, so I’ll probably get distracted again. But, here is a shot from the editing I’ve been doing. This is beautiful Vassanta on […]
And now for something completely different…
Monday, August 13th, 2007
Sorry I haven’t posted for a few days. We had an old friend visiting and that took up much of my time over the past week. She has returned to her home in NYC now, so I’m getting back to my more or less normal schedule. This morning I did a shoot that is pretty […]
Progress
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007
Today has been a productive day. I managed to get a lot of errands done and still had time to do some editing at last this afternoon. I worked on a shoot I did with Mandy http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=156097up in the Cleveland area a couple months ago. I love working with Mandy. She’s really nice to be […]
Magritte Sky
Sunday, August 5th, 2007
My wife and I have long referred to clouds like these as a “Magritte Sky.” When I saw the Magritte sky while we were doing the shoot at the farm I thought I’d try to make a photo that was somewhat a reference to Magritte’s work. Unfortunately I didn’t have any bowler hats with me […]
Holga Daze Down On The Farm
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
Still not making any organized progress on the huge editing task that I’m so behind on. So today I just felt like posting this photo for no good reason other than that. This was taken on a farm in Ohio where I’ve had a lot of good fortune with photos. Two photos I took there […]
