In Stereo
Notes: I’m done with regular old still photos and moved on to the next level ;). Playing around with the Loreo 3D Lens in a cap which is a stereoscopic image creator. Combined with the Pokescope, it sure does look neat, with a convincing 3D effect. This old world technology combined with the digital photography […]

A post about using Alternative / Vintage / Orphaned lenses on the Micro 4/3 system via adapters. Featured: Canon TV Lens, Canon FL Mount, and C Mount Lens.

Notes: Another little friend added to the mix…the Digital Harinezumi 2! I believe the name is Japanese for “Hedgehog,” and its movies really mimic 8mm film. One of these days I’m going to have a photo shoot and limit myself to just one camera via “Random Select.” 🙂

Notes: So here are the results from the various gear I’ve found on my treasure hunts. The first ones are from a 55mm f/1.4 Auto Sears (M42 Pentax Screwmount). It’s a re-badged Japanese lens and it has a nice dreamy quality. The flaring is different from the vintage Nikons and good in its own way. […]

Notes: New weapons unlocked in the Team Neekon arsenal! 🙂 From what I’ve read the Nikon L35 AF pictured above has a solid 35mm f/2.8 lens, attached to a Giugiaro designed body. Back in the halcyon days of 1983, there’s no way our family could have afforded a point and shoot like this. On the total opposite end of the spectrum […]
Continue readingDigging…
Digging, it refers to DJ’s and Turntablists going through crates of records, looking for samples and other inspiration to create their music / artform. I guess that’s why I’ve been on my vintage theme. When people want to get into photography, they always ask me what camera to get. It’s a bit more complicated than that… […]

Notes: Found these gems while browsing antique stores. Granted, none of them work, but they sure look cool as props/accessories/camera bling. 🙂
Continue readingNotes: Camera companies should realize that the megapixel race and feature creep isn’t what some of us really want for all devices. We want the ability to mimic what was, and still are, some expensive captures of random moments in life. And we also want it for free! That’s where the Instagram application comes in. The […]

Model: Frannie MUA / Hair: Nhi Lighting Assistance and Props: BRC and PT I draw, I take photos, I write about it. Thanks to the team for all the help. Thanks to BRC for letting me take his ABR800 ring light out for a test drive. It definitely produces some blinding light. Even shooting through its “portal” has […]

Notes: It snowed in the ATL on Christmas, so of course I had to step outside. Thanks to KT for putting up with the bitter cold just so I could shoot and then write about it. If you guys have been following for the last several posts I’ve pretty much been trying to give a […]

Tech Notes: The images above are samples of the photos I shot inbetween capturing DSLR video, which was a juggling of multiple cameras and the Steadicam Merlin setup, which you either have to hand hold all day or lay down on the floor somewhere. Moving pictures is nice and all, but sometimes a still photo says much more. Behind the […]

A Photo Essay about the change in the technology that we use to create and share, but not a change in how we view the things most important to us.

Notes: Just some random gear talk. Nowadays people enjoy talking about photography and photography related gear just as much as taking the pictures–or perhaps even more so…hopefully most of the shutter bugs out there drive their machines once in awhile. The iPhone 4 camera seems to have something like a ~35mm equivalent f/22 lens. Which in visual […]

H.A.G.S! (Have a Great Summer!) Thanks to LAS for again organizing the Kid’s mini summer camp. Also thanks to Wat Lao Buddhakhanti for allowing us the space to teach and play.

The best way to learn, is to teach. Thanks for listening to my ramblings on photography! Notes: Great job everyone!! It’s never the camera, it’s always the person behind it. I also learned a lot, and nice to be around people with an awareness of the issues in our community. Any workshop out there can teach […]

Fun meetup at the 57th Fighter’s Group, a restaurant/bunker with lots of army and airplane props, and the Dekalb county airport in the background. Here are the shots I got out of the craziness. Thanks to Eric and the Atlanta Photo/Model meetup group for organizing, and thanks to Nhi, Brittany, and Breanna for coming out. 3 different cameras […]

Notes: TFP? How about RFP? Rice for Photos…as in trading time and talent for fun and food…I know this post is somewhat unrelated to the pictures, but it’s still the same old story–how does one make a living off of art? Honestly, I don’t think you can. About the best we can do is make sure […]
Continue readingColoring
Notes: Trying out Bibble instead of my usual Capture NX workflow. All these applications have a different way of processing colors and the look of the raw files from cameras. They can also mimic certain film, and perhaps the feelings associated with them. Can’t give special attention to every single photo that I take, but for some, it’s fun […]
Continue readingCars and Cameras
Cameras are similar to cars in that they are technical gizmos that most guys can figure out and judge because of their stats: price, power to weight ratio, speed, etc. But for real uses of the tools, one discovers that it is still more about the driver than it is about the tool itself. Like most […]

Random notes: …I’m no Henri Cartier-Bresson, but with my portrait photography I always try my best to capture the peak moment of the expression. Maybe it’s the same reflexes I devoted all those years to videogames, or maybe it’s because I simply care about the person and the image I’m making for them. You aren’t […]
