Down time with the Rolleiflex – part 2
I have been in the process of casually photographing my friends during our quiet times together using my old Rolleiflex. For me, it has become a means of relaxation to embrace the slowed-down act of photographing with medium format film and eventually processing when a spare moment becomes available. I let go of the immediacy ...
Down time with the Rolleiflex
I managed to take advantage of some down-time a few months ago with my old Rolleiflex. Any monochromatic film work I have done within the last few years has been for very specific purposes, like Mordancage, so it was nice to relax for a moment and enjoy the process of photographing without a plan. I ...
One Sweet Potato… turned EVIL!
It reminded me very much of ‘War of the Worlds.’ I wouldn’t mind making a small set of these for fun with a variety of usually innocent specimens.
NOLA Tuesday
I was originally going to say that Tuesday doesn’t like art. This is because I wanted to visit the Contemporary Art Center, but they were closed, as was the Ogden Museum.

Save your foam
I'm kicking myself right now. It's a good thing I've started biking more and have some new leg strength because I want to feel this. For years, like many of you, I stored my assortment of computer, television, printer, and general electronic boxes and packaging just in case I needed to send it somewhere or ...
Nerding up the Olympics
There are certain things about this years summer Olympics that I really enjoy (amongst many that I don't). I like the evocative names that the venues have, like "Watercube" and "Bird's Nest." They are so much better than the Georgia Tech Aquatic center (in Atlanta) or something similarly boring and generically clear. "Watercube" seems like ...
definitely spring
This month's issue of the Twin Cities magazine Rake , features a nice article about bicycles, their history and future in the cities. Minneapolis is currently ranked #4 among large cities with a regular bike commuters… the only cold-weather city in the top ten. This is impressive. After a mean winter of 16 ...
