New Theme
I’m messing around with a new theme again. The whole two column thing was forcing me to use smaller pics than I use on the photoblog, which has been a PITA. Of course, as with any redesign, it looks like junk in IE. I’ll fix this when I get a chance. Until then, although I…

Family Photos
I took my first family photo when I was 13. The occasion was my grandparents’ wedding anniversary, and the whole clan of aunts, uncles, cousins and such had assembled.

DIY Hexar RF Eyepiece
Regular readers will recall that I recently lost the eyepiece for one of my Hexar RF bodies. After a couple of days unsuccessfully trolling the usual internet outlets for weird camera junk, I decided to build my own replacement eyepiece. Unlike a lot of cameras, the standard rear eyepiece of the Hexar RF is not…
