Thanks to all of you who e-mailed me about meeting
up in DC, but my business trip has cancelled at the
last minute so I'll have to take a rain check on the
invitations. I will be making it there some time in
the future, just not sure exactly when...

I finally got around to buying myself a Lomo LC-A.
The last time I was in Shinjuku I stopped by Map Camera
and they happened to have one in their used camera section.
So far I put three rolls of film though it (one roll
of Provia 400 color slide film and two of regular negative
film) and I am pleased with the results.
I'm still very new at scanning film, so currently the
quality I get from my Canon 1D Mark II far surpases
even what I am able to scan from my medium format color
slides, but that should change when I get a little better
at this.
Shooting a lomo sure is a welcome change from a large
digital SLR. It is very compact, and is great fro stealth
street photography since there is no loud "Kachunk"
of mirror slap to alert my subjects. I look forward
to burning through a lot more film (both 35mm and medium
format) in the near future.
I am by no mans abandoning digital, but rather just
exploring the more tactile and slower paced side of
the art.

Now that my work schedule has slowed back down to a
more normal pace we can all look forward to more frequent
updates once again.
There has been somewhat of a dry spell lately, and
I do apologize for that. As an apology I have once again
ressurected some past Photo of the Day pictures (along
with a bunch of others) and added a soundtrack to go
along with them.
Just a quick reminder to take some time each day to
stop and smell the Natto...

Note: If you are able to, play it in full screen mode.
It has a lot more impact that way.
This place still holds endless fascination for me,
and I hope to be abel to pass on even a little bit of
what it feels like to live here.
