Now Free! Figital Revolution Manifesto PDF Download

by EveNSteveDecember 16, 2015

In celebration the revolution’s ten year anniversary, I have decided to post the Figital Revolution Manifesto book as a free PDF download. (The print copy is no longer available for purchase online.) Written in 2007 and admittedly snarky and over the top, I am struck by the fact that, despite so many changes in the industry, the book is entirely still relevant today! I want to thank my wife, Eve Ogden Schaub as my co-author… she has moved onto bigger projects like her book Year of No Sugar which went viral… and her next book is due out in January 2017 so stay tuned.

Keeping Film Alive – Martin Scorese

by EveNSteveAugust 8, 2014August 8, 2014

“Everything we do in HD is an effort to recreate the look of film. Film, even now, offers a richer visual palette than HD. And, we have to remember that film is still the best and only time-proven way to preserve movies. We have no assurance that digital informaton will last, but we know that film will, if properly stored and cared for.”

-Martin Scorsese

A Leica Worth Showcasing

by EveNSteveJune 11, 2013

I am sure many of you are as disappointed in the new Leica introduced today as I am…. the Leica X Vario. This coupled with the M 240 which I am NOT a fan of makes me think Leica needs a swift kick to get back into the game. A note to Leica… do not try to compete with Fuji or Canon or Sony as you can not… Instead, do what you do best and make cameras like the M9P and my MP a la carte. Anything else is just a waste of time.

Now to put a smile on your face (well, it did mine!)… here is my newest camera with some fun additions…. a black paint Leica MP a la carte with my PinZonie 28mm pinhole lens as well as a 18mm pinhole lens in the Leica Lens Holder M on the bottom and the very cool Leica Universal Viewfinder – The Frankenfinder!! (covers 16mm-28mm with a brilliant clear view and also has parallax correction for close up distances which is sooo nice… for me the perfect walk around camera!

Does Airplane Travel Damage Digital Sensors?

by EveNSteveJuly 8, 2011

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.
