I can understand why one likes film. I find myself trying to "emulate" the feel of B&W film in PS far too often myself. Good to see some pros who haven't lost that magic despite their needs to publish fast. Really inspiring stuff on this web site, thanks for sharing your ideas.

Hey Chris, I bumped into Mark when he was here in the Philippines. Handed him a couple tiny calling cards. Hope he gets to hand one to you. He said he'd probably see you next week. I might drop by December, maybe we can kick it then.

You Chopped off poor little M's Jewels??? I'm calling PETA on you, you bastard! Wait,you don't want a cute,horny small furry friend humping your leg at inopportune moments?? Where;s Ms, Palin when needed.... Now about the cameras and lenses I wont be able to afford due to a 7-10 Trillion bailout. Who Voted for payment of that little dinner check coming due? Joshu just howled for the first in five years that we owned him(still a complete dog on so many levels) Funniest thing he's done to date(not counting the hiding the leftovers from the Great Cookie Heist). MY Sympathy to the newer better M. And Palin seems to be free at the moment for stud service....what a lost opportunity for all concerned. LTR, GFG
Joshu would have gotten a piece of her witch nose as a exchange(Being small for a Japanese Chinn's means "don't Diss me too far Bitch!!! I will get a piece of YOU.) A true New Age American.... Personally, i would have taken a Large Print NWT Bible and given her a touch of the "Word" to digest later.... Poor Mr. Macain.....i hope he got more than Joshu did when he met his first neutered cat...must post the encounter here soon. LTR,Mate!!! GFG
@robert: don't worry about the camera know it all's .. just tell them to go to kenrockwell, rff and theonlinephotographer ... they'll be in good company. ;)

Haha, love that photo of Jamie teaching M to drive :)
@scott: no one, mate, no one. that said ... they are excellent places for making surreptitious photos of people in personal moments.

Zeiss has announced a 50mm f1.4 and an 85mm f1.4 for EOS moun0 (ZE mount). A 21mm f2.8 is coming soon as well. I guess you won't have to get a D3 to use Zeiss glass on digital. What's interesting is that their is no aperture ring on these lens', looks like Zeiss actually put quite a bit of work into these lens', they're coded and everything!
Great slices of life Chris! As always, I enjoyed looking through them :) M did look like he was silently begging to keep his nuts... or just the fact I put my self in his place, I would be doing some major eye contact.
Yeah and about the contest, I thought "photographers" were good at being patient... some of the comments were getting way to pushy and sarcastic. 500 entries is no easy task. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it must be... and going through the history.
Cafe's are fun. I wonder how aware they are of the things around them. I know when I'm drinking coffee, trying to read.. or whatever, I'm never completely in it.. there is always the "what weirdo is going to come out of line to come sit next to me, smelling like BO or some god-awful drugstore cologne, breathe heavy or cough near my cup... " I think that just shows how much people suck... because it happens... and then they try to talk to me like I'm their therapist. Whatever.
b's sunglasses are quite wicked... I have the same, I think ;) I look very out of place wearing them here.. meh..
That pic of me and Truly says much about our personalities... hahaha! Nice ;)
Sofas everywhere here, too... a sign I think.
Off to Wisconsin to visit my fam tomorrow ;) ..including my sis. Hope you're week is nice in Hot/Autumn LA..
(It's been in the 60's and raining for the past 4 days here)
Ha ha ha! The wiener comercial was great, thank you for the morning laugh. I sense a little angst in you :). Sorry to hear that M lost his N, poor little guy, Neve is going in next month to get her lady bits removed :(. Whats all this DSLR hate as of late, I know they are not the best for street, but you know its all some people have, not every one can shoot a rangefinder you know ;) I was gonna take the old Leica 3C for a spin today, but its a rainy day again due to good old Ike sending all this rain up to Michigan. Hopefully it will wash away the filth and when all is said and done I can get out and make some film for a change. 7K for the lux huh?! I wonder how long and how much blood I would have to sell to get that. Jesus (as in lawn service, not on the cross) Christos what could be next another tri-elmar? No more R system for now could be good news and free up a little cash for the company, but that will just meen the hoarders will be snatching up whatever is left to shelve away. Never to be used again.
Hey when is the judging going to be done, ha ha ha! Sorry just fuckin' with ya, I had to do it ya know. :) whay are people so impatient to find out that they lost, it takes as long as it takes, hell over 500 photos to look thru, that would take a while for any one to go thru.
Good to see Cassie and You got to meet up, I'm sure it was a good time, she sure is happy about the upcomming move to California. I would love to move, not to Cali, but to Chicago. One day maybe, because to tell the truth Detroit sucks! I do need to get down to the (Detroit) city soon and take some photos though. Old Tiger stadium is finally being demolished to make way for something new, I hope.
Best wishes to you and the family, from the very wet and dirty Mitten.
I ran into a camera Know it all at the mall today, you are right, some slr shooters are oblivious to rangefinders. Told me my G2 was "neet". He wanted to see a preview of what I shot. I told him it was film, he had a odd look on his face after that.
a means they meet more than 90% of the health regulations. b means more than 80%. c means you don't want to eat there. d .. means it could be shut down soon.
Poor dog. lol - I see you trying hard to keep it politics free! Yea, people look a bit anxious in the photography page... Well... I just followed you here... I wasn't expecting equivoque, for example - that was a good surprise... :) Contest? What contest? ;) Zomg... That commercial... Always a good time reading your blog... Have a great week!
too bad they dont have Hästen in germany, which is where im heading next..
I love the shots, its awesome to see your airport street photos, i was actually looking at connections to maximize my layover time.. montreal and amsterdam ;)
Thanks for the laughs, there was a few of them in this one ;)
