I’m starting to designate the M8 as my new default for digital projects; it’s pretty much everything I’d hope for in a digital rangefinder. I’ve simply found a certain touch with these cameras which I simply haven’t been able to achieve with a typical DSLR. It’s simply much, much less cumbersome, making it easier to [...]

Week 9, Fall Quarter
Posted in Blogging Daze on November 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve realized a distinct lack of people pictures in the past month or so, mostly because of my slow decline back into hermithood. I’m deciding to dedicate myself once again to watching gesture and shape.
More Scans

Scanning old negs makes me really want to take the Hasselblad out once again. Time constraints and assignment parameters have restricted me from doing so.
I figure I’ve neglected this enough.

Good news! I’ve finally figured out how to use the school’s Flextight scanners. That means I’m about ready to go on a film scanning spree, when I get the time. These scanners are exactly what I have been hoping for. My biggest gripe about the flatbeds I’ve been using is that the amount of grain [...]

I’ve decided to start a cell phone picture mini-blog. It’s just a little exercise in working with extremely barebones equipment. That and I really want to utilize Tumblr. You can find it here. Enjoy!
Didn’t we have a “Friday the 13th” last month?

The title is somewhat obsolete by now, but I suppose I’ll keep it.
I’m spending a weekend in Santa Cruz in a few weeks. The “real” reason to be there is for an appointment with one of the advisors, but I thought it would be nice to meet up with old (a term I’ll use loosely) [...]

I’m kinda running out of subject matter within walking distance here around the outskirts of Hemet. Luckily, there’s been talk amongst a few of my friends about a trip to Simpson Park next week.
I hadn’t realized that I haven’t experienced “normal” Hemet weather since I moved back here, ’till now. Now that the rain’s gone, [...]
Fuck you and your “blue notes,” Death Cab.

auto
I read an article earlier about Death Cab’s new campaign against using the autotune in recording studios. Ben Gibbard claims that it strips music of so-called “blue notes,” which, by his definition, are imperfections in a singers voice that supposedly add a splash of color to a tune. I believe, however, that he is defining the [...]

I think this is my first post since moving back to the homestead; I actually had a draft prepared a couple of days ago, but I scrapped it once I started scanning more film stuff in. I’ve been in this weird “I’m going to shoot exclusively film” phase for the past few weeks. I suppose [...]
