Photos On A Humid Day
I think it may feel more humid outside than it really is. There's an air quality alert and the cottonwood is still flying, so I decided to wear a mask to protect my asthmatic lungs.
Anyway, I got a couple of good shots. The first is a single wed wose. How womantic.
This is a macro shot of a lea...

Blast From The Past
Chris is taking a B&W photography course this semester. Tuesday I checked him out on the digital camera. I was pleased to see he knew a lot more than I expected about photography. Some of it is from his design background, but he did have some grasp of focal lengths and f-stops and ISO and the like. He just needed to learn a few basics about the settings of the DSLR, and he was good to go.
Until he got to his class. This is old school B&W. They're required to have a 35m...

Why I Can't Work For Free
The short version: I have bills to pay, too.
Pleas of “We Have No Money” Are Often Difficult to Fathom
Oh, yes. A while back I was contacted by a magazine that wanted...

Is it Pinin' for Ansel Adams' Darkroom?
I'm afraid the pictures I posted yesterday may be the last good ones to come from my DSLR.
It has passed on.
The camera is no more.
It has ceased to be.
It has expired its warranty and gone to meet its manufacturer.
It is a stiff: Bereft of pixels, it rests in peace.
Its processor is now history.
It has kicked the battery, shed off its flash tube, dropped the shutter curtain, and joined the photography corps invisible.
It is an ex-camera.
Beautiful lenses,...

I Love A Bargain!
We decided to drop in on the closing of out local Circuit City store today and see if there were any bargains whatsoever to be had. Paul spotted one: An Olympus Zuikio 40-150 ED lens for $56. That's $200 less than Wolf wants. When we dropped in earlier during the sale, the lens was $250. I can handle a decent piece of glass for 80% off. Twist my arm.
Got it home and all it needed was to have the fingerprints cleaned off. It works great. It's not the best day for shooting outdoors, sadly. ...

On Blogging. Firestorms, and Photography
Thomas Hawk has made a second post
concerning his expulsion from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Fortunately, he decided to moderate some of his language in the title
of the first post.
Since Hawk is a prominent blogger, it
didn't take long for this to get picked up on a number of web sites.
Predictably, a firestorm has erupted with people taking sides and
name-calling and (apparently) threats...

Photography Is Not A Crime!
I'm not a lawyer, but I try to follow the laws regarding shooting in public places.
Today Thomas Hawk blogged about getting kicked out of the SF Museum of Modern Art for taking photographs in an area where photography is permitted.
There are two sides to every story, and if you read the comments trail there are notes from (mostly) anonymous commenters ...

Need Some Feedback
From both of you who read the journal, at least. ;-)
This is the gallery I'm building over at Imagekind. I don't have much there yet. In fact, I haven't even decided if this is the place where I want to sell pictures. Be that as it may, I'd like some feedback on pricing. Do the prices seem to high? Low? Just right?
And those who have been watching photos I've posted over the ye ...

And More Good News
Just heard from the canera vendor - the camera has been repaired and will ship back to me today. So I should have a working camera by this time next week. Much rejoicing.
No, these are not jokes.
