Do You Capitalize "Rap"?
I've made so many boring pictures in the street. I'm coming to the end of them, though. Perhaps I can make some more. Sorry.I just checked USPS Tracking and my package has arrived to the local post...

New Tool
It arrived yesterday in the early afternoon. Now I have my very own Hasselblad. And it turns out, its a beaut. I took it to the camera store to ask a question about the Compu-Synch EV lens system....

It Works!
I shot the first roll of film with my new Hasselblad yesterday. I didn't have a meter, so I had to ballpark the exposures. Then I came home and souped the film in the one bath developer/fixer, the R5...

Kerflumpt
A little splash of color. I will cary two cameras--the Hasselblad and a digital DSLR--each with an equivalent lens. That way, I will have the same vision but for the 1:1 and the 3:2 ratios. I will...

Grumpy Home Alone
I stayed home from the factory yesterday and didn't talk to anyone. I didn't leave the house until late in the afternoon. I took some film in to be developed and then went to the gym. I spoke a...

Old Cameras and Kangaroo Men
Here is a picture from my walkabout Sunday. This negative was way overexposed, so I lost a lot of detail in the shadows. I could have lowered the camera more, too. I'll learn. And as soon as I do,...

Magical Light
Somehow my birthday celebration continues. A group of factory workers have birthday celebrations every month, and in February, I am the only one, so we went to a little town not my own to drink at a...

Another Snapshot of People I Don't Know
Again. . . I really forgot that photography literally meant "writing with light." At least with film, you can't shoot in the dark, and the factory is taking up all of my day time. So after work, I...

Courtly Love
Well. . . I got one of them in focus. With the lens wide open on that medium format camera, there is little room for error apparently. But I have been amazed how people don't mind being photographed....

Dogs in Sweaters
Everywhere I go, people are sporting dogs. They dress them up and let them play together. There is no lack of attention. People stop to pet the dogs and ask questions about them. Everyone is happy....

Tribal Rights
Sorry. I'm addicted to crazy framing and these little weird snatches of things. It is a sort of anthropological/zoology vision, a camera with a tripwire in the jungle. Unseen slices of what goes on...

In the Land of the Absurd. . .
You are going to think I'm kidding you, but I'm not. They tested the effect of weight resistance training on rat brains by tying tiny weights to their tails and making them climb up steep hills and...

Weather not Ideology
This is what it looks like here now. The weather, I mean. The other--it looks like that all over the world. Boys look, girls look away. There's a lot of tension in those postures. I was looking,...

The James Bond Thing
Sorry for yesterday's absence. I have some secret things going on, but the results were fairly good. I am breathing a little easier now, and perhaps it will show in my postings. Maybe. I am hoping...

Afternoon Drive
I've been too housebound/townbound, so yesterday afternoon, after a long walk to a hipster village for a acai granola bowl and a long return, Ili and I showered and wondered how to spend the pretty...

The Angry Masses and the Organismic Drive
I started to write about my fear of a Rubio presidency. . . but who cares? As Daniel Tosh has said, "What does it matter who is president?" as he showed another hideous video from the internet. "Here...

Factory Drone
Lately I have been a Factory Drone. One has to make a living, and sometimes that takes hours one would rather spend elsewhere. To wit: I don't get to read, write, or make pictures as much as I would...

Routine Against the Void
This isn't it. This isn't the image I meant to make. It is off. . . way off. I'm disappointed every time I get the film developed. I wonder if I'll ever get good with this camera. I'm too nervous,...

Fields of Dreams
I dream of something, but it is unclear. A dream of desire. A field of them. Desires like truths. There are millions. Pick one and make it your own. Deform yourself around it. It is "yours."The...
