Finally have my new office/workstation set up and ready to rock…after a significant battle with the giant octopus of cords, power strips etc. I came out victorious… Here you can see the Imac I do most of my workflow on as well as a CRT monitor that is connected to my Power Mac G3

Last weekend, as those of you who follow this blog and especially those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I shot another Ragnar Relay. This time in the far north west corner of our country, throughout beautiful rural Washington. Between Jerry Forman (my accomplice) and I we shot over 4,000 frames and had a great time. Here are a few of my favorites from my take. I am quite happy with the images I shot of the runners, but many of my favorites were just of the area we explored…(make sure to click the images to see larger versions)

For anyone who is in the know, every so often I like to update you, my loyal friends and followers, as to the status of my ever growing camera collection. If you are new to these parts or would simply like a refresher as to where we have been up to this point, you can see the previous incarnations of this post here, here, here and here…Now that we are all on the same page, hit the link to continue down the rabbit hole…
For those of you who follow this blog extremely closely, you may remember seeing the above image a while back as part of a post I did when I received a Lens Baby. I liked the resulting Diptych style image so much I have been playing with the idea more…

I spent the last week in Prescott, Ariz. and had a macro lens with me…I have been trying to get shots of insects and flowers lately…I like the challenge of making something (hopefully) better than average out of a very common subject…If nothing else it is just good to show others what I see…Make sure to click on the images to see them larger, some of the detail needs to be appreciated in a larger format…
I have been out of the blogging habit for a few weeks…sorry…but i have returned today with a quick post of images I captured this morning. Be sure to click on the images to see them larger..
The above image of a fly is something I really like. If you have seen my business card anytime in the last few years you will notice the theme. I love to capture sharp images of insects, specifically flies but any will do. I think it says something about being ready at the “decisive moment” and capturing a split second of reality.
Another bug, this time of the lady variety. These are so colorful and fun to find…
Finally another macro shot to round out my take from this morning. I really love the color and texture in the sunflowers that grow all around my house…this one is no exception.
I love macro photography, it is a lot of fun and really difficult to nail sharp focus without a tripod. However, given the fast-moving nature of most of my macro subjects a tripod becomes impractical. A lot of slightly blurry photos, but when you nail critical focus on the subject it is amazing.
I have been spending a lot of time lately in the darkroom developing film. There is something about the look and feel of film that can never be achieved with more contemporary and accessible digital technology. I could debate the differences and why one is superior to the other for hours, but I will save that for another post. This week I shot a few rolls on my Kodak Bantam. Lots of fun, and kind of odd images await those who dare venture fourth past the link below…

If you have stopped by the blog lately you may remember seeing a camera collection update post. One of the new (to me at least) cameras as the No. 1A Autographic Kodak Junior. This beauty is from about 1920, still light tight and functional. How many cameras produced today will still be functional in 90 years? Probably not very many. It was sort of an experiment to shoot with this camera, hit the link to find out why and see more images and as always click a photo to see it larger…
