Moving!
If all goes well, we will be closing on a house tomorrow. We've been packing all the good stuff and throwing away all the crap. I'm a little bummed that I can't use my photo stuff. It sits forlorn in the corner...waiting for me to build a darkroom in the new house. The basement of the house will heretofor be officially called "ManWorld".

This pile looks too small. I should get more gear...
New Camera: Old looking photo
I got a new-ish camera to replace the ancient one I had been using. This one was actually made this decade or so. It has a lot more movements and makes some things much easier to do. I like the idea of thinking less about the tools and more about the image.

Here's the first shot. Made with a wide angle lens from the turn of last century. Coney Island, NY. I over did the rise and front tilt to frame the shape of the Cyclone with the edge of the lens coverage.


This is Nathan. He was kind enough to sit for a portrait or two.


This may be my most recent favorite. Made on the last evening at the family reunion at Bethany beach, Delaware. Five minutes later we were driving home to New Jersey.
