Happy New Year 2023! It was in the 1990s that I traded some photography to a woman whose husband designed websites for Microsoft. The offer was that he would build a website for my business and I would shoot photos of their kids. Piece of cake. Small businesses at the time didn’t often have a […]
World Peace through Junk Store Cameras
Originally posted Sept 6, 2018. When folks ask, “How was your trip?” Where do I start? Where do I even begin? So I say, “Oh it was good … Fun.” We touched down at Heathrow. The customs agent at Heathrow asked me where we were headed and since I didn’t know I asked him where he’d […]
April: A month of many camera holidays.
April is slam-packed with camera holidays and two of my favorites are: The PSPCS Camera Sale & Swap and Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. The camera show happened on the 13th.

This time, I chose (mainly for its cuteness and ease of use) the Canonet QL17 GIII. I also threw my Nikon D700 into the camera bag. We […]
Fun stuff! Respites.
In a month bestrewed with medical appointments (instead of gown shoots in Europe … fingernails tapping on a glass tabletop …) It’s making me wonder, what do people do who actually have time to do stuff? Like, I set aside this time to be away but now I’m home and when I feel good, I […]
Conglomeration
I did not realize, when I began this 100 day camera review journey, that I would be sent down so many different avenues of inspiration. There was a time when I processed so much film, I simply glanced at the negatives, chose a few to print or scan, then filed them. Delving into these file […]
