I have had my Olympus 35RC for quite a while but have been struggling to nail any focus when shooting wide open probably due to the very dim viewfinder patch. It was quite dim when I got the camera but my last couple of rolls have had a load of out of focus frames on…
My day job is working at a software company here in Atlanta. As part of that job I have to travel for either meetings, or in this case, training on a new tool we are using as part of our solution. This time my travels brought me to San Francisco for a week. I was…
This is my “Roll” 52 for 2016, though in fact it includes images from 4 packs of instant film. I am amazed that I got to this point on time this year as I was unable to post or even comment on other people’s posts for several months due to being away and totally off…
I’ll Leave you with Week #50 to end the year. Last time we had a Camera Test with the Canon QL. This week we take a look at some familiar images (Mamiya 7 versions posted in week #39). These taken with the Canonet G-III QL: Both as it turns out are labeled model Q-17, but…
This year my youngest daughter has joined a cross country team. I love running and ran cross country when I was in high school. I was ecstatic when she took and interest. It also turns out that she is pretty good. She runs in the 8 and under group so she races primarily against girls…
Over the years our Thanksgiving plans have changed. For a number of years, my wife and I would go to the beach and spend our time together. As the girls came into our life we would sometimes return to the beach. Other times we would get with family locally or plan a trip where the…

First posting and I’m super excited to start. I was talked into this by another photographer and every so often I am disturbed by only one small unanswered question…why would I want to start a project like this at the beginning of a Toronto winter? Snow, rain, ice, and more snow topped off with cold…
Back in Paris once again after more than two weeks’ of travelling. And one of the good things about working here is that we often have meetings at our institute. Some friends dropped by my office for coffee, which was nice, and I got a ‘meta’ version of the conference photo (that’s what happens if…
Yes, again in the field around the city, Abrantes, Portugal, by Christmas season, sticking in the Reality So Subtle 6×17 another old Delta 100 from the first batch, completely outdated… pure point and shoot… 4 seconds exposure, and this is what comes out in the scan!…
I have realised that I am posting slightly out of sequence with my next 3 posts due to developing/scanning mishap. I had 6 rolls of film to catch up with and having not marked very well I have managed to process them out order in which shot. I want to get as much done this…
Before I get into the post I want to share a few things I have learned recently. When you want to review, edit and publish a large number of photographs, don’t try to use new software and expect it to work like the programs you are used to . The second is that I need…
