I’m happy to report that a project that I’ve been proud to be a part of has finally come to fruition: TOYCAM is finally available on Blurb. Andrew has more to say about the book’s release here. I haven’t had the chance to physically flip through the book yet myself, but having been a part […]

May flies & June bugs….
Hello Internet, It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I know, I know, I’m a bad friend leaving you hanging like that. Not a word or a peep or even just a heads up. Suddenly, it’s June. I know May existed by the subtle carnage it left behind, but as to where it went, only future archaeologists […]

Diana F – Surfer Lanikai
Lanikai Beach, on O’ahu’s windward coast, is a place that existed in my imagination well before I ever knew it actually existed. It has a beauty that makes any words used to describe it feel brutish & hackneyed in comparison: – Water that openly defies Crayola with an ever shifting palette of blues and greens […]

BHF – A couple more from Hawaii
As I twittered (tweeted, twooted, twinkled, twunctated or twhat-have-you) yesterday, I’ve finally finished scanning all the 120 rolls from my December trip to O’ahu; now I face the Herculean task of processing the rough scans into pretty pictures. At first glance, there are several frames that have caught my eye that I can’t wait to […]

Holga Hike – Another Beaver Lake Shot
Another image from the Holga Hike / Beaver Lake shoot. The recent snow melt had created a temporary pond around two winter-barren bushes. There were all kinds of little birds frolicking amongst the branches, chirping, hopping and occasionally splashing away. Even though I stealthily approached the scene in my best Elmer Fudd-esque stalk, my fine […]

Holga Hike – Beaver Lake Nature Center
Alas & alack, it just wasn’t meant to be… I didn’t submit my Holga Hike image in time due to a mix of FedEx fumbling the delivery date of my fresh developer, family visiting for Easter and a misinterpretation of a vague deadline. C’est la vie. The good news is Randy from HolgaMods assures me […]

Diamond Head
Diamond Head, the iconic Hawaiian volcano, is probably one of the most photographed mountains in the world and, as a good tourist on O’ahu, I tried my best to do my part. From sea to summit, Diamond Head rises 762 feet; fortunately, the hiking trail inside the crater already spots you two-hundred feet of elevation […]

BHF – Aging Gracefully
Ah… this has to be one of my favorite shots from our last Hawaiian adventure. My wife and I waxed poetic about this older couple walking Waikiki beach hand-in-hand in front of us. We playfully envisioned them as though we were staring thirty-or-so years into our future: still in Hawaii, still madly in love, flaunting […]

Sometimes the magic gives you toads
Somewhere along the way, my vintage Diana F developed a dastardly light leak in the upper left-hand side of the frame (lower-right image). As opposed to a beneficial or relatively benign light leak, I’d say this one ruined several rolls of film from Hawaii, except ‘ruined’ is such an ugly word. How about I just […]

My Favorite Photographer
So apparently I’m not above a little bit of open pandering for free film. UPDATE 03.16.10: I didn’t win the free film. Oh well. Who is my favorite photographer? I’m not necessarily sure I’ve ever truly pondered that question before. Of course, my mind goes to such luminaries as Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Andreas Feininger […]
