I realize that I haven’t posted an actual film photo in a while. Due to time constraints, most of my diptych photos have been taken with a borrowed digital point and shoot (thanks Aaron!).
I’ve been taking my film cameras out a lot less lately, which is tragic. I’ve also been having [...]

Bay Bridge

One of the things that I love in photos are surface reflections. Clouds reflected off of metal, mirror images on the surface of water. I’m always delighted when I manage to capture details like that.
I took this picture on the San Francisco side of the Bay Bridge. I was eating lunch at [...]

West Pier

I was in England in June 2008. I think this was the only sunny day of my whole trip. Brighton has two piers, this one and one that people can actually hang out on. I sort of prefer this one.

Hazel

Did I ever post about getting a Hasselblad? I’d been considering getting a new camera for, well, ever. I like my Pentax ok, but the optical quality was starting to really both me. I have two K-mount cameras, as I’ve posted about before. I really didn’t care for all the bells [...]

Shoebox

Ok. I think I may have mentioned in passing once or twice about my dislike of iPhoto. It’s the software that most Mac owners end up using since it’s convenient to use with all your other Apple software. I think it’s probably great for people who only take photos on vacations or [...]

fsviewr

I’ve been complaining forever about not being able to find a piece of free gallery software that I actually liked. Most things were just too image heavy and it bugged the crap out of me.
But then I found this flickr gallery creation tool. I have to say that I kind of love it [...]

Zeiss Ikon

I went to Berlin in late October. In theory it’s a six hour train ride from Den Haag to Berlin, which is just about as long as it takes to drive from San Francisco to LA. Given that frame of reference, six-to-eight hours a transit experience I’m willing to do for a weekend. [...]

Photo development

I moved to The Hague (known here after as “Den Haag” because I’m silly like that.) back in September. It’s November and I still haven’t settled on a place to try to get my film developed. I’m not totally sure why that is.
I live in the center of town. There are a [...]

New lens

I went to Adolph Gasser yesterday to look at lenses for my Pentax PZ1. I have two K mount cameras, a fully manual Ricoh that I got when I took a beginning photography class back in 1998 and the Pentax that I got used last summer. I decided to get the Pentax in [...]

My First Holga

I got back my first roll of film taken with my new Holga this afternoon. I decided to go ahead and post all 12 photos even though a few of them are of the same subject and others are not all that great.
I had some trouble removing the film from the camera. I [...]
