Nikon Rangefinder Reissues
this picture isn’t even vaguely related to this post If you’ve ever wanted to know about the millenial reissue of Nikon’s classic SP and S3 rangefinders, check out these two translations: SP and S3. For the first couple of years of digital’s dominance, you could actually get one of these reissues for fairly cheap. Nobody…

Two at the IMA (03710017/03710025)
Kate and I visited the Indianapolis Museum of Art a few weeks back. It wasn’t until we were leaving that I saw the sign forbidding photography on the third floor (that’s where they keep the good stuff). Looking Down was also taken here.

Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl & The Epson R2400: How do you work this thing?
Does anybody know how to print B&W from an Epson R2400 on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl? I’m following the instructions outlined in the Ilford PDF, but I’m getting a lot banding. It’s not the printer or the inks, as I can switch back to Epson Premium Luster with no problem. It seems like it must…

Choosing a B&W Film
Just a couple of notes before we get started. I’m going to limit this to 400 speed non-chromogenic 35mm films. There is nothing wrong with chromogenic films like Ilford’s XP2 or whatever Kodak is calling their chromogenic these days. For those of you that don’t know, chromogenic B&W films are actually modified color films designed…

The Photographer in Action
For a fine photo of yours truly, check out this pic by a friend and colleague. Notice the skill with which I hold the camera, caress the shutter, etc, etc, etc. Pay particular attention to the rare and arcane left eye technique. Truly a master at work if I do say so myself, and I…

I’m not looking at you . . . (03690007)
Quick Optical Note: For the last 9 months I’ve been alternating back and forth between using the ZM Biogon 35 and the 50 Hexanon. I’ll stick one on the camera and leave it there for a month or two or three, and then, when my mood changes, switch to the other. One of the interesting…

Intentions, Plans, and Other Vague Ideas
This guy ran right through my bleak mid-western suburban landscape. I’ve got a number of half-baked ideas for posts banging around in my head. I’m noting them here, so that I don’t forget. A post about the difficulties of portraiture, the role of employment in changing idea of self and the growth of the media…
