So last month I wrote a post about moving into 8x10 format which can be seen here. This month I just wish to say that I'm now diving in head first. I've gotten myself an 8x10 Deardorff with a modern lens along with a bunch of the other fixin's needed to manage this format. Tri-pod,... Read more »
Yup. PBS aired a little bit about my work & methodology last night. A fun blend of some medium format street photography and large format portraiture. Watch away!
As you may have noticed, the posting frequency on this blog has slowed down dramatically over the past few months. Don't worry, I haven't given up.

There has been a few lesser issues with the camera sprouting up over the past few years, so it is due for... Read more »
Yikes! Did I really go entirely through September without a post? It seems I did. Best I make a little noise. Going back to my popular 8 Ways to Title a Photograph post from earlier this year, I'm going to put a reverse spin on The Pop Culture Reference method, as inspired by my play... Read more »

Round up the family and off we went! There were a few first for me on this vacation/wedding. First time I'd... Read more »
Same subject. Different years.
This time around I pulled a negative sleeve from my friend Bob's birthday party in 2009. I believe it was his 30th. I don't remember much of that night, except that there was a green wig.
