By far, one of my most favorite photo subjects is Lake Tahoe. I just live too close to this blue mecca to not be enamored with it. For my entire life, it has never failed to awe me with beauty. Even luckier for me, I have a few random work days that cause me…
Yet another Holga roll! I’m blaming Holga Week 2014 for getting me excited about shooting with various Holga cameras again. (See my previous post, Holgas! Holgas! Holgas!) I wrote “Holga-ing Around the MPLS Photo Center,” a brief blog post about this roll, and as usual, the whole roll is on Flickr in the Roll 21…
I shoot a lot during the week days. I mean work days. Yes I do have a day job though so this is limited to before/after work (sometimes) or lunchtime (most often). This week we had some nice weather so I got out a couple times and walked in the city with a new (to…
Sometimes I see a shot taken on a toy camera that I like, but most of the time they just look like ..well…moving on- Because of this I have not been inspired drop $50+ on a Holga or Diana because really, I could smear oil on any lens. Then, a week before our trip to…
Nothing wrong about the Pentax Pino 35. Well the name is funny but that’s not wrong. When I shot an expired roll of color film in it, just for testing that this basic camera still functions as it was supposed to, I didn’t have much hope anyway. I developed it as black and white (as…
My brother, sister-in-law and young niece were in town visiting, and we went to see the Peabody Natural History Museum on the campus of Yale University in New Haven CT. My niece is 4 1/2 and already a budding biologist, with a great fascination of dinosaurs, insects, and most any animal. So this was a perfect…
Hi there! Boy, it’s sure been a long time since I’ve posted. I have been debating whether or not I should even continue this project. It’s not that I’m not taking photos, it’s just that I am terrible about being organized about it. I have been encouraged to keep posting so I will. I hope…
There is a more famous Salmon River out in Oregon, but we have a small one here in Connecticut as well. It was named before the eastern Salmon stopped spawning in this river, and restoration efforts have not had much luck. Part of it is probably due to places like the small falls in these…
Yes it’s the end of the summer almost when I post this. But a few months back I took out a film camera with some colour negative roll in it in order to shoot a few flowers again. The spring has been nice over here (unlike this month) so it was blooming everywhere around our…
Walking in the streets of Brussels again this week. This is week number 20 for me. Several times I bumped across different kinds of messages. Some were obvious, others I had to try harder to interpret, right or wrong? This wall and door were covered with stickers with pictures (portraits) or people, each holding a…
Located well above the tourist trap that is Clifton Hill by Niagara Falls sits a lovely spiritual retreat, named after a rather well known mountain that is in Israel and features prominently in the story of the prophet Elijah, namely the contest he challenges the prophets of Ba’al to in the Book of Kings. I…
Hi people, long time no post from me… I’m back to it. As I wrote in my post on week #17, I have been shooting with a rather basic but pretty good SLR and a couple lenses. So I’m doing that again this week but now with a color roll. First on Sunday I did…
