  • Jeff Bridges to Be Honored at International Center of Photography Dinner – NYTimes.com

    An interesting article about the photography of Jeff Bridges, along with an excellent gallery. He uses a special wide-frame camera that allows some fairly unique shots, that he has been producing since the early 80’s. An interesting read and intriguing look into the creativity of one of my favorite actors. Jeff Bridges to Be Honored…

  • Cathleen Allison – Eclipse Photo

    This has got to be, hands down, the best image of an eclipse that I’ve ever seen. Eclipse photo by Cathleen Allison

  • Woolworths in NYC ca 1913

    I just came across an amazing photo of a scene in New York City of the Woolworths building in 1913. It’s a nice large image, so you can get in there and see some detail. It’s interesting to see the line of traffic on the street to the right side of the photo. Night Light…

  • Itinerant Photography

    An interesting phenomenon that I’d never heard of before. Back in the 30’s, itinerant photographers would photograph many aspects of a town and it’s residents, then try to sell prints to said residents. Here is a fairly large gallery of photo’s from this time period, hosted by the University of Texas’ Harry Ransom Center. It’s…

  • Poor Mans Macro 2.0

    I wrote a few days ago about a method of using a standard lens for macro photography. I shared only a few photos that day, but there were many shots that turned out well. I thought about going through the whole set and picking and choosing which ones to share with you, but then I…

  • Poor man’s macro

    [singlepic id=232 w=240 h=160 float=left]Macro lenses are hard to come by if you’re on a shoestring budget. Luckily, there is a trick for us DSLR owners. Simply turn your lens around backwards. I experimented this evening with the technique, and got some surprising results while shooting a bouquet of roses that I gave to my…

  • Dark Sky in the Middle of the Day

    Today was such a nice day; the sun came out (it’s been rainy for weeks), the temperature rose (mid 70’s!), and I found myself with some time to do something creative. I haven’t had my camera out since before Christmas, so I came up with a little plan for myself. I’m going to try to…

  • 9

    Here is one of my own images. I like minimalist images, especially if there is an unknown element to them. What is the number nine signifying here? Why was it printed so large? Who was intended to see this? Who put it there? All kinds of questions can be asked about this image. [singlepic id=228…

  • Chris VenHaus

    Hi folks, sorry I haven’t posted anything here lately – the end of the school year brought me the toughest set of exams yet, but I somehow made my way through and now I am an honest to goodness official college graduate, with an AAS degree in Nuclear Technology. So now that school is over…

  • Golden Gate Bridge in January

    [singlepic id=222 w=320 h=240 float=center] Back in January of this year, I managed to find myself in San Jose, California, on a business trip. It was a great trip. I spent the weekend with my cousin Justin, and had a blast photographing various locations in San Francisco. Here is a shot of the bridge across…

  • Hugh Morton

    Hugh Morton was the grandson of Hugh Macrae. If you grew up, or lived for just a little while, in Wilmington, NC, then you’ve probably heard the name Hugh Macrae – at the very least you’ve been by Hugh Macrae Park for a stroll around the pond once or twice. Hugh Morton, among other things,…

  • More from the Droid X

    I found an app today for the droid called Vignette. It is extremely powerful for what it does. It’s a camera app, with more effects than you can shake a stick at. Instant film, holga and lomo effects are made dead easy and there is an almost unlimited amount of variations possible, and you can…
