Long gone.

10 September 2011

Well hey….

I haven’t updated this photoblog for what seems like an eternity but I am still getting about 20-30 visits per day…must be stray or lost surfers.

Anyways, I just have too many commitments at this stage to manage this space meaningfully. I am still taking photographs and 50mm is still my favourite focal length. In fact I rented a darkroom for a whole week earlier this year in Brisbane and it was awesome. I PRINTED MY OWN NEGATIVES !!!!!! I can’t describe the feeling – magical, mystical, fulfilling, whatever – It was great!

You can find more information about the darkroom I hired here – Blanco Negro – Chris is a great guy and a great teacher. (Chris, if you are reading this, Thank you again!)

Also, my old computer crashed a few months ago and I have a shiny one now. Did not loose and pictures because I have the negs!! However it messed up my workflow a little.  Haven’t made the effort to set up my scanner to my new computer and also, I think the software that came with my scanner might not be compatible with OS Lion. Anyways….. one of these days.

What else………. Adele is a great singer. Period.

Will leave you with some pictures of my gears. Boring I know but it is a PHOTOblog after all:)

Best to all!!!!

jasmine - more please? hehe

http://tohu-bohu.aminus3.com');” rel=’external nofollow’ class=’url’>eric festinger - So… welcome back!

http://www.hendralauw.com');” rel=’external nofollow’ class=’url’>Hendra - Hi Ferraby, I have the same lens, that Voigtlander Skopar 35mm. I love that lens. :)

ChrisN - Hi Ferraby – glad to hear you managed a good session (or several good sessions!) in the darkroom. Do you think there’s a darkroom in your future? And what’s that camera in the first shot above? The tag says black paint MP, but it has the angled film rewind? Maybe an original MP or a repainted M4? I love your choice in lenses, too. I had that 50 Summicron once, and stupidly sold it. I had the Voigtlander 50/2.5 too, and stupidly sold it (see a pattern emerging?). Now have a M-Hex 50/2 and I’d better hold on to that until another Summicron comes along at a good price. :) Cheers!

Ferraby - Hi Chris. Yes, had a blast in the darkroom and definitely looking forward to having my own darkroom in the future. Have an enlarger in my garage waiting to be used :) . The camera you are referring to is an original black paint M4. I am lucky to have the opportunity to own such a beauty.

ChrisN - Ah – M4 of course. In fact my chrome M4 has just returned from a visit to Sherry Krauter for new shutter curtains and a general overhaul. It’s nice to be using it again.
