This is not an empty shell : Redux

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

( This article was first posted on Nov. 27th 2008. It still feels the same.)
[photopress:MagrittePipe.jpg,thumb,alignright] Not like “This is not a pipe” (Ceci n’est pas une pipe) the famous painting by Magritte.
Nothing like that.
Instead it’s a bit of thanksgiving memory that has a photo of an object as it’s touch point.

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

We always dig giving something away here, that we use on a regular basis.

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

There are iPods and electronics to keep people in [...]

Gary Fong Lights Sphere Vers. 3 – Simpler, Collapsable, Still Good

Monday, November 9th, 2009

A few years ago, we attended an event where the photog had this funny white contraption on the front of their flash that looked like a DIY food container/light modifier.

Food or Flash?
It turns out it was the 1st version of the Gary Fong Light Sphere.

“Shake it like a Polaroid Picture” may be coming back in style

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

When the Polaroid Land camera was first around, you had to peel apart the print from the developing chemicals, and coat the B&W shots with a preservative liquid. You really did need to shake it, to dry the coating.
