Welcome Back to the Revolution
It has been 14 months since my last post on FR and during that time I have enjoyed a much needed break. From the moment I put FR to a private site status that required a password to view content I have been inundated by email and phone requests to bring the site live once again. I have therefore decided to make the site public once more so that the hundreds of articles on all topics FIGITAL can be accessed once again and YES, as before, still for FREE. Please note there is a small number of articles/ audios/ videos which were lost when I closed the site back in January 2012.
But, what about new articles you may ask? As of right now, I have none planned, but I suspect that will change with time. For now enjoy FR and happy shooting.

Kodak Files for Bankruptcy
The End of Kodak? The End of Film? NO! NO! NO! NO! and also NO!
There has been a lot of mismangement at EK for many, many years but the film group is a valid money-making part of EK and I suspect- with restructuring- EK film will continue to flow from Rochester for many years to come. We may have to say goodbye to some films through consolidation but- is this the end of film from Kodak?…. No.
So stop your crying and start your buying… without film sales all bets are off! Now if you will excuse me I have to go process some film!

Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011
Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.”
Selections from a commencement address at Stanford Universty June 12, 2005

Remember there is no Figital without Digital and Steve Jobs has changed the world.

Presenting The Cuboid Selectascope
After quite a while working with my Cuboid camera I asked Matt Abelson of Abelson Scopeworks if a turret with 6 scopes would be possible to retrofit to my Cuboid while maintaining the ultra wide 25mm focal length… all I have to say is that it is spot on for my artworks and damn does it look nice!!
With the custom SELECTASCOPE option I have the choice of F196 – F32 with a Zone Plate at F45! The varying degree of sharpness and the option of overlaying different levels of sharpness on the same negative through multiple exposure is a creative A-Bomb…. ART Bomb that is!
Previous articles on the Cuboid:

For those of you who are curious I believe only one Cuboid is left for sale!

Your Rights In Public Spaces
A very interesting video that illustrates a situation many photographers, myself included, have found themselves in from time to time.
Most photographers- and as this video illustrates security guards- are unaware of their “real” legal rights with regards to photographing in public spaces and being photographed in public. There are countless articles online regarding this topic but I have found this one (see link below) to be especially good… of course the law varies from country to country so do your homework first and then shoot with confidence.

Does Airplane Travel Damage Digital Sensors?
I believe this issue needs additional clarification from the Photo Industrial Complex… is the damage a result of cumulative exposures? are specific sensors more prone to gamma rays, CCD or CMOS? and at what point can software no longer “fix” dead pixels?… I don’t know the answer as of now (stay tuned) but I am glad that my trip to Italy on Sunday is all film!!
And for the crazy conspiracy theory readers out there: don’t forget that Kodak invented much of the digital technology used today and makes sensors for many camera makers to include Leica and the DOD… so this is not some PR push to sell more film.

PS- lots of good info covered in this video!!
