Heh, Dave noticed that I bought a new camera and now he's thinking about new cameras. A friend of mine told me once that whenever I mentioned wanting something three times, he knew that I'd end up buying it. It's true. I've

In a desperate attempt to spark some enthusiasm for photography, I bought a Nikon Zf. I know, this is not the best approach, but it's what I did so here we are. I'm jotting down a few quick thoughts and first impressions. (This isn't

I was so bored today that I grabbed the first camera I saw with a partially used roll (the Nikon F100) and walked around the house snapping anything at all.
I wasn't planning to put journal posts here. I don't like how they fill up the archives with a list of dates. Yet, here I am. The news and my feeds have become a stream of terrible things. I don't know how to stop

The Canon AE-1 Program was my first real camera. Unfortunately, I no longer own that original from 1982, so I bought another one in 2013. It's not a great camera, but it works. I like to put a roll through it now and then.

I spent the morning of the election with my daughter and grandson. It was a nice way to spend part of an otherwise anxiety-filled day.
Latest roll (HP5) from the Leica MP. Nothing much here to speak of, although I did use a manual flash on some of the indoor shots. I kind of like flash photos. They look like photos, you know?
