Since Michael reviews many books in his blog I thought I’d dig some of them up. Regardless of direction the time was well-spent (later I tried the same thing with this blog, and frankly Botzilla doesn’t bear extended reading nearly as well, with its many random discursions and distracted tone. March 29, 2007Ī couple of weeks ago I was reading Michael David Murphy’s 2point8 and started clicking the “previous entry” lin ks- eventually, over the course of a few hours, I worked my way back through the entire history of the blog, mostly in a straight line backwards but with a few Memento-like sidebars of reversed reverse time.
#Light shild bronica rf645 plus#
On the plus side, it is giving me a wee boost to remember some lingering film-based projects-in-progress. There are some projects that I needed that camera to continue on, that would have to mutate or die with out it. I still have my LX1 to continue as my RAW-making digi of choice, and I’ve been running the new Kodak Portras through the Bronica while I fume and decide what to do now that I’m dSLR-less. Sadly my interest in these choices has been stomped on a bit, with the unfortunate theft of my 5D (and a 28mm ƒ/1.8) a couple of days ago. I’ve not made my mind up about the real dynamics of one or the other of the effects but they’re… interesting. Viewing everything doubled, side by side, is oddly informative.īoth forms have a flatness, but also a sort of dimensionality that’s unique to each. One of the consequences of using the mixed B&W/color workflow that I described a few posts ago is that when browsing through Adobe Bridge, you end up seeing both B&W and color versions of every picture. What about the photographs? I’ll write more about them in the next entry. Surprising what a couple of hours can do if you’ll just willing to stay put (sleeping helps). To my surprise, when I awoke two hours after dozing away, the view was dazzlingly different: the towers lit by an orange sunset and framed by a deep blue sky. I also got a glimpse at the results from the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF9100 60” printer, which delivered gorgeous B&W results straight our of the bx – that is, on the supplied Canon profiles without tweaking. These are large-format images, printed on black & white traditional darkroom paper – a good deal bgger than what the well-known Devere digital enlarger can produce. I also had the pleasure during the morning of driving across town to visit the Bob Carnie & Kevin Viner at Elevator Digital, where I got to see their big print line including their digital fiber-print mural-scale line, which they believe was the world’s first. Fell asleep – coffee in hand – just as the early-evening weather outside my hotel room was surging past the drizzly form shown here into a real driving storm.
Tomorrow I’ll hit the MOCCA portion before returning home. Spent most of the day running back and forth through the rain to see as much of Contact Photo as the rain would allow, and last night chasing around the Lanch Event.
