Have you ever logged on to a photo web site and heard photographers argue about the merits of one film over another? This 100 speed vs that 100 speed. XP2 Super vs REAL black and white films. What a bunch of #$@$%!

It’s In The Bag

Posted in camera bag, tagged , , , , , , , , , on November 28, 2007 | No Comments »

Are you an innie or an outie…camera wearer that is?

2. It protects your gear from bumps [...]

"It" Takes Great Pictures

Posted in Camera Technologies, analog photography, photo industrial complex, tagged , , , , , , on November 26, 2007 | No Comments »

It? Who- or what- is this “It” anyway?

Never leave home without…what? Your credit card? Driver licence? Breath mints?

There’s lots of talk today online and in print about open camera system architecture…that is to say, a camera system that will accept different camera backs (medium and large format) and perhaps even lenses made by different manufacturers (see new Zeiss and Voigtlander offering for Nikon).
