I’ve used York Photo for my mail order film processing for several years. They’re inexpensive ($2.20/roll, $1.50 shipping, and $1.00 scans), they turn rolls around in a week, and they partner with Snapfish for their online service. They offer perpetual hosting and have great deals on prints. I got my first rolls back from San […]

Jazz Jelly camera, revisited
Posted at 9:56 am | Filed Under film, journal
My fixation with LOMO LC-As and film photography began in 2000. About that time, I started collecting toy film cameras. I like the aesthetic, I like the disconnect from technical frippery that a plastic lensed, single aperture, single shutter speed gives. I like vignetting. I like chromatic aberration. I like soft focus. One of the […]

“Night Vision: The Art of Urban Exploration”, a book review
Posted at 12:17 pm | Filed Under journal
Troy Paiva is one of my favorite photographers of late. I love his choice of subjects – googie architecture, abandoned buildings, junk yards and the southwest desert. He shoots almost exclusively at night and uses a combination of colored flashes and LED lights to “paint” his subjects.

Speechless ASPEN, Colo. – Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” fatally shot himself Sunday night at his home, his son said. He was 67. It’s all over the news now, HST was found dead of an apparently […]

Jazz Cameras
Posted at 2:58 pm | Filed Under journal
I bought another Jazz 101 today, and I thought about how fun my toy camera phase last summer was. I’d just discovered www.lomo.org and rediscovered photography after a long dormant period. Most of the pictures I took that summer were taken with a $30 Ebay Olympus XA 2, a Jazz Jelly, Jazz 101, or Lomo […]

What’s wrong with Lomography?
Posted at 11:56 pm | Filed Under journal
Here’s two interesting pages regarding Lomos and why some people don’t like “Lomography” — http://home.planet.nl/~ucklomp/lomography/index.htm and http://homepage.mac.com/mattdenton/photo/cameras/olympus_xa.html I have to agree with them – I love the Lomo LC-A, but I dislike lomography – it seems way too marketed and commercial. People carried pocket cameras with them a long time before the Lomographic Society decided to pretend that […]

Home firewalls
Posted at 9:48 am | Filed Under journal
I’ve been running on the SMC Barricade for about a week now, and like it. If you’re looking for a firewall appliance, $100 gets you a 4-port switch, NAT firewall, and print server. Setting up printing between Linux and Windows has traditionally been a pain; the SMC acts as an LPR-type print server, so setting up print […]
