When I was young the Sinar Polaroid Back was nicknamed "the worlds most expensive exposure meter"
Photo of John Lennon (And Double Appeal)
Speaking of the John Lennon stamp, this is a photograph of Lennon I've always liked: It's a Polaroid by Andy Warhol. It's descriptive, but not grandiose or glorifying: the subject is wearing a T-shirt and hasn't bothered to arrange his hair, although Warhol might have liked the shape his hair ...
Yes please - more yellow
The End of Yellow
Richard Gonet wrote, "I really enjoyed viewing this collection. Thank you for initiating this project and curating it. Since we all have different tastes in art, I suspect there are some hidden gems in the ones that were not selected. Is there a way to present the 'runners up' so we can see mor...

Top Ten Rolling Stones Songs
I know, it's been "all photography all the time" here at TOP lately. But this is "Open Mike" day, and this is easy to type. Gimme Shelter Sympathy for the Devil Midnight Rambler (live version) Tumbling Dice Satisfaction Monkey Man Harlem Shuffle* Wild Horses Shattered Can't You Hear Me Knockin'...
After 49 years with Nikon changing to lightweight Fuji.
Start Over, Begin Again
...Just a quick question, for fun. Another "mental exercise," or theoretical question, or thought-experiment: ...If all your equipment were stolen, and the insurance settlement was very generous and you got more or less all the cash out of it you could (but it's still real money, and your money)...
Very sad. Michael - helpful as ever - gave me permission to publish some af his work for teaching purposes. He will be missed.

Your Turn: Andrew Molitor
- Recipe Culture By Andrew Molitor As humans, for almost anything we do, we seem to want a set of step-by-step instructions: a recipe. We use recipes in our jobs, to cure our addictions, to lose weight, and, with somewhat less success, to make art. Photography has a recipe for everything. What f...
Sinar Norma
Hasselblad 500
Nikon F
Best looking because I worked with them for a long period of time.
Looking at them today reminds me of photography 40 years ago.
The Best-Looking Cameras
Unusually for a camera, Marc Newson's designer K-01 is original art. It's curious that car buffs seem to have no problem talking happily for hours about how cars look, completely apart from performance, yet, for camera buffs, the issue is a bit more fraught. Many of us care, and some of us care...
I now use the Fuji X100 90% of the time. The heavy stuff mostly stays in the car.
What's Enzo's Fiat to You?
—Illustration goes here— Here's a link to a nice picture of Enzo Ferrari, but I can't use it. A quick question. Jim H. mentioned yesterday that Enzo Ferrari drove a Fiat to work every day—which might have come from a page at the new Fiat 500 site called "75 Reasons to Buy a Fiat 500 Over a Mini....
