@tas: i have no idea. @eben: thanks, man!
my friend leo.
I’m not going to go to the blog and see the last time I updated. I’m betting it’s been at least two years. Audiences require daily content; I don’t have time for that. There’s a huge difference writing about photography playing to an audience than actually making photos for clients. I pre...
@matt: dude, they remind me of "drive," too! @richard: i use indy film lab in alabama! they're amazing.
pretty palette.
Prior to and kinda concurrant to getting my hands on the Fuji X-T1 The Brothers Wright gave me a few rolls of Cinestill Film during dinner with Ryan Muirhead this past December-ish. It could have been January, though. I don’t remember I have to digress a bit. I know I’ve been caught in a “Ca...
Hey D! I just weighed the body/grip combination and it comes out at 671 grams. That's without a lens, of course. Hope that helps!
i didn't actually plan to do this...
Honestly, I can’t believe I remembered my password much less my username to log onto my typepad account. It’s been almost two years since I’ve written anything here. My friend Randall saw me in Venice walking to a gig and he said, “When are you ever gonna write something new.” He named my las...
@konax: i think perhaps you are right. it's totally worth it to come out of lurker-mode for the chance of getting a rad piece of software! i'll bet the odds end up being about 50:1. not bad, though.

So ... I thought I'd be getting the post before this post out before this one -- those of us with real world photo jobs can't possibly post every day. Every week. Every couple of weeks. Okay ... once a month. Seems as though the workflow/digital asset management blog has a life of its own. W...
ben krebs: ya' know ... i found silver efex pro 1 the day before doing final output on a wedding. it melded so damn well with the film we shot!
i hate it when there's a stark difference. in fact, if one shoots both for whatever project i think it should be mandatory to use sfxp2. ;)
hey ... at least you learned something about color efex pro!!!! i think the film emulation it does is quite nice, actually. perhaps not as good as the monochrome plug-in but very nice indeed!

@deezee: you're welcome for the nudge. the plug-in looks identical between aperture and photoshop. i dunno about lightroom, though. i don't use it.
let me know how it works out for you!

@Blake R: the craft was pretty damn small, actually. i wouldn't strap myself into that thing, though. no way.
first or last ... doesn't really matter. it'll be very random. :)

@Lennart: wasn't really trying to sell it ... i just really love using it ...
honestly, i like doing personal and things-other-than-wires ... much more!
cheers back from cali!

@Richard: i can only imagine why they block them. ;)
what really made me think was seeing a ... some work a friend had ... the first 9 images or so were film scans ... and then there was this abrupt visual change ... for me it really made me re-examine digital monochrome. there was this sharp quality that wasn't hdr but very close to it for me. in fact, i think the guy sharpened it but whatever.
digital monochrome and my feeling about it changed from that day forward.
needless to say ... i'd keep on using silver efex pro 1 if that's all they offered.

@JayG: there's a special aesthetic for looking at a wet process contact sheet, too. marking on it with a sharpie or wax pencil as well.
digital is so "good enough" that i'm not sure digital vs. film is relevant. they're so different.
i like both, too, and not only am i gonna be going by the lab today to see some proof prints (from digital) and drop off a few rolls!

@Andreas: so ... you shoot film but don't make prints? frank and i have been talking about this issue nonstop. we both think it's very important to put that print in your hands and feel it.
it's so much different than seeing something on a screen!
honestly, download this trial ... apply some filters to your photos and print something...
cheers back!

@Tiit: thanks, man! it would be interesting to just "blog" but ... since i actually do something i love ... well ... i'm stoked! do wish i could blog more often!
the archiving is almost complete ... now waiting for a drive to be recovered by a data recovery firm... at least i won't have to ingest it when it returns.
hope the snow subsides soon!

@Nestor: you're welcome! i like the portra filters in color efex pro 3, too. out there that morning i think people used about anything the could find to shade their eyes!

@Igor Novakovic: i'm sure those real world bloggers won't like it much, though. that's the thing about silver efex pro 2 ... it's just right. it's not too much ... and it's more than just a little. i love it. hope you do as well.

@claire: thank you so much, love. *gonna have to look at your website today*
choke.
in doing some desktop housecleaning ... as i only had like 42gb of working space on my macbook pro's hard drive ... found some folders ... and i believe i meant to blog them or do something besides archiving them. f.u., photobucket ... you're slow. i swear to god ... why the fuck would anyone ju...
@elaine: truth-be-told in my domke bag sat the m9 and a nocti pretty much the whole time i was out.
in as much as i would have agreed with you about film in the past .... i can't wholly agree anymore. for me ... the importance is the image ... whether it's captured with an m9, mp, 5dm2, pentax-whatever ...
silver efex is the equalizer.
digital/video straight out of a body or raw file is way too sharp. having done a lot of post-work on some motion i think that i'm gonna treat digital the same way i treat video and ... take the edge off.
i've really enjoyed doing this little experiment.
cheers for the comment!

It’s been a while. Wish I could be like the other blog posters and do an update every day or so but, well, that’s not going to happen. It’s much different when you make photos for a living. Wonder how many of the semi-popular bloggers gave up their day jobs? If they did, they’ll be selling t...
@Arthur: back in the day of hcb they shot leicas because they were the smalled lightest things going. doisneau used that and a rollei. they had slow emulsions and really slow glass. most people were used to seeing photographers with view cameras and plates so ... i dunno how much the format really mattered to people.
i totally didn't mind having a clean 3200 iso in my bag of isos. ;)
so ... i'm thinking a toronto street workshop may be in the works...
we're gonna do some us cities first but if we can get enough interest we may do toronto as well!
not gonna publish my new "i took your picture excuse" online. ;)
hope you're well, man!

@aerone: i'd like to think i project myself past the people i'm photographing. ;)
i've seen quite a few 5dm2's "out there." in fact, i see quite a few leicas more often than i'd expect!
never break out the big glass or a flash! ;)

@Thomas: i've quite enjoyed this experiment. seriously, a lot is in your head. project onto them that they don't see you. works. ;)
i'm sure the bitching is quite new to at least a couple of people i know who read this. ;)
perhaps there'll be no bitching in pt. 2. ;)

@Dmitry K: don't worry about them catching you. unless it's a group of like 15 bangers then i hope you have some verbal skills. ;)
hmm ... toronto ...
looking for some locations to do workshops ... didn't ever think of toronto ...
but i wonder if that's close enough to nyc to attract some toronto-friends?
thing is about the "impostors" is that they want their readers to think they're working yet have never done a commission/assignment.
cheers back from the fall-like west coast!
