Berkeley Industrial Photoblogging

My brother was kind enough to take me to Berkeley’s industrial district on my recent (well, relatively recent) trip to California…

Random B&W Non-Birthday Photoblogging

Just a couple of random shots from a trip to a friend’s birthday party, that have pretty much absolutely nothing to do with the party itself…

This Is A Thing That Happened

One day last year when I came home and opened up my wallet to release the penny it had eaten, the penny landed on edge, and… stayed there. For like an entire day. And I have photographic proof:

Mama Finally Took It

I was very sad to read that Kodak is probably about to file for bankruptcy, although not exactly surprised.  After film photography all but died out (Kodak stopped manufacturing film in 2009), they had a hard time competing with all the high-tech heavyweights in the digital space, especially on their own low-cost point-and-shoot turf.  Pile a prolonged economic downturn on top of that, and it was just too much.

As someone who grew up with film photography, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of loss.  Kodak did more to transform photography from expensive, artisanal, and time-consuming to easy, accessible and popular than any other company, churning out affordable, easy-to-use Brownies and Instamatics (like my own first camera, which I got when I was 8) for pretty much the entire 20th century.  Not to mention their massive film business.  And the Disc Camera, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

Godspeed, Kodak, and thank you.

B&W Other People’s Cameras Photoblogging

Took a bunch of pics trying out my girlfriend’s Nikon D40X, which is a nice little entry-level DSLR that weighs about half as much as my D300.

Final La Jolla/San Diego Photoblogging

That’s it for La Jolla and San Diego. Second pic is actually from the San Diego airport.

More La Jolla Photoblogging

I have been to La Jolla so many times now that it’s hard to find anything new to shoot.  I probably only have one or two more posts’ worth after this one.

Of course, the Guggenheim’s interior does offer non-fisheye photo opportunities as well…

Fisheye Guggenheim Interior Photoblogging

Ahh, that’s much better. It’s not so much the fisheye effect itself, as it is having sufficient field of view to really encompass everything. It reminds me of the National Museum of the American Indian a little bit.

Fisheye Guggenheim Photoblogging

So it turns out that using a fisheye lens on the exterior of the Guggenheim is actually kinda redundant. Now, the interior, on the other hand…

Guggenheim Photoblogging

Finally!  I actually walked all the way from Penn Station to the Guggenheim about 4 years ago to take pictures, only to discover that it was under construction.  But I finally got my chance, and it was everything I hoped it would be.

The Empire State Building looking like some sort of military spacecraft, and a random stairwell photo that turned out surprisingly well.
