After losing my best friend to a heart attack last week I could not agree more. Get it done while you can. Nothing lasts forever.

Get It Done While You Can
A reader/friend-I've-never-met just wrote to me this morning. He's over the moon about a fabulous print he just had made from a scan by a particular service bureau. It had him talking like he's solved the problem of getting prints made from his archive of 35mm negatives. Maybe. My advice, from ...
Got this right because I read you. This surprised me. I guess I do pay attention. Thanks Mike.

Just coming back from a small road trip myself, I find this work enjoyable and timeless. I only wish we could enjoy it fullscreen.

The Family Trip
Imagine coming across something like this randomly on the web. My friend Nick's little sister spotted the feature on Slate—the kids are the two of them, aged almost-seven and almost-three respectively. The pictures are by their father Erich, of course, whose work I've featured here before (not...
Enjoy your unhoarding. Do not respond to this post as we'll all know you can't withdraw from the web. I know you can do it.

TOP on Hiatus
As I mentioned a few days ago, The Online Photographer (TOP) will be on hiatus till after the Fourth of July. Yr. Hmbl. Ed. has got to get a few projects done, and it's just not going to happen in the course of the normal daily workflow. I've even decided to stay off the Internet for the interva...
Black because it will mirror your GF1 and K-5.

Why I'm Buying an OM-D
A number of people have asked me why I'm planning to buy the Olympus E-M5, which is just beginning to enter the sales pipeline. Of course, it really doesn't matter what I buy; I'm not a guru, and I don't work as a photographer (here's what kind of photographer I am: I'm a writer). And, anyway, y...
Was in Ithaca on Sunday, wish I'd know about this. Maybe I'll take the girls up tomorrow night for a look, and maybe a quick picture...

Notes from Home
Well, that was exciting—Zander (who now often spells his name "Xander") broke his wrist in two places while snowboarding. I had to go on an odyssey in the night to fetch him from the Ski Patrol hut at the local ski hill, way out in the country, where they had splinted his arm using corrugated ca...

The new iPhone 4GS might be the best camera you always have in your pocket. Thanks Steve, and may you rest in peace.

Steven Paul Jobs, 1955–2011 - Recommendations: The "CNBC Titans" profile on Hulu. The 2005 Stanford Commencement Address on TED. Here's the text version (thanks to MM for the latter). Nine things you didn't know about Steve Jobs including that he's genetically an Arab-American (his birth fathe...
My wife says that NYC is too far conceptually ( 196 mi) for me to drive to this weekend. I'll still try to convince her as I'd like to attend this show. If not, I'll go next year. If your looking to share expenses I'll share a room and buy you dinner...

AIPAD Show Marks the Passing of the Years
Julie Blackmon, American Gothic, 2008 Every year I tell myself, next year I am going to the AIPAD Show. Then I tell myself the same thing the next year. I guess New York City is just too far from Wisconsin to traverse the distance. Maybe it's just conceptual distance. The AIPAD show—arguably t...
Dam it MIke! Why did you have to buy the camera I most desire. Bought a lens you recommended years ago for my ancient Canon 3ood and have loved it since. Now I am afraid, really afraid that I might have to buy a K-5 and another lens.

New Camera
I've mentioned recently that I haven't really owned a DSLR for a while. That's a bit overdramatic—I've had several cameras on manufacturer loan, and my trusty old Konica-Minolta 7D, although broken, is not entirely out of commission—most recently I used it to take the portraits I showed in the p...

Beautiful Fuji
This is certainly the most enjoyable camera news I've gotten in a long while. Fujifilm has made a "development announcement" at Photokina for a camera to be called the X100: a high-quality, fixed-lens, 12-MP, viewfinder-window compact digital camera with an APS-C sensor. The lens is a 23mm ƒ/2...
Yes, wadded up paper feels much better. Clicking the delete key just feels, ffft..
It just feels wrong to my analogue mind.

Joe Deal: I just learned today that the fine photographer Joe Deal is very sick. I last published one of Joe's pictures here in this post, about the New Topographics movement and book. It's hardly the whole story of his life as a photographer, of course, but being part of the New Topographics is...

Loved that Kodachrome look. Miss my Polaroid SX-70 even more. Things change, slowly adapting to digital and the freedom that comes with it. Sort of the way I felt with my SX-70 camera only better. Wish I could find a way to feel the same with my digital SLR. Time will tell...
