scan -- negative.

well,
i got my film back yesterday, and i'm really happy with the results as a whole. there are some light leaks in a few of the medium format photos...i need to make sure that stops happening. other than that, i'm happy with them all. the 35mm slides look especially nice.

i went to start to scan them, though, and the converter wasn't the right one for the scanner power cord, so it blew up... and now i have prints and slides, but no good way to get them onto the computer. so, for now, here is a picture of just a few slides that i put up onto my computer screen and took a photo of tonight...

hopefully it won't take me too long to find a way to fix the scanner problem. the quality will be much be much better than this...

heaps of trust in the australian postal service.

my film should be at the lab in melbourne by now, and hopefully i'll have it back by the end of the week. expect more frequent updates once i have it... i'll have some catching up to do.

there's potential images on those rolls of film from between august and now. I haven't really wanted to post much of what i have so far on here because it seems incomplete to just have the digital ones. it'll be fun to go through everything.

it's just been hard to find a place to develop slides, so i finally just gave up looking and mailed it.

i did find somewhere to process regular negative film, though, so i experimented with one of the slide rolls and developed it there. here's one shot from that roll.

i'm pretty happy with how they turned out. i certainly won't always cross process, but in certain situations it looks nice. this one is in sydney, on the boat ride from the northern beaches over to the city. that's analisa on the left, checking out the skyline, opera house, and harbor bridge.

"used" prints for sale

i printed quite a few of my picaresque photos to travel along with the east coast tour.
a lot of them are still available.

some of them have become a little bit weathered through the journey up the coast and back.
some are still like new. either way, from a distance they all look fine. when you look closely some may have some small scratches.

it doesn't them worthless, just not worth what they were during the tour...
it gives you an opportunity to get some prints for cheap, though.

the prints are 8 x 12, mounted onto foamcore.

i'm selling them for just $30, including shipping. orders outside of the US will have to be a bit more (the amount will depend on the country) to cover higher shipping costs.

send me an email with a description of the print you want, your address, etc.

here are photos of the ones that are available.

thanks

a few oz samples

i still have a lot of film to get developed, so here are a few photos from the trip to show for now... just a tiny taste of what there is.
i still eventually want to do proper updates, with text and everything, so these few aren't in any particular order and i won't be writing to explain them yet.

east coast

we've been slowly travelling down the east coast for the last couple weeks. we're in sydney now, where we should finally find a proper photo lab. i'll post plenty of updates pretty soon i hope. photos, text, etc. even though it won't be current with what's going on, i'll probably still split it up into sections.

worth the wait, i hope

i just finished updating my site with reorganized galleries and new-ish photos.

i took off the old galleries at the end of april because i was tired of how it looked and there were too many photos.   

i meant to narrow it down a lot, and i kind of did, but there are still a lot of photos.   it just took a long time to figure out how it should be done.

i hope you like the changes.

i should have other new photos from a road trip/camping trip to PA sometime soon (as soon as i find a lab to develop the film).   and i'm in australia now, so i'll be shooting a good bit over here too...   so, i'll be writing updates on here from time to time, and adding photos to this, and maybe some to the main site too.

we'll be going down the coast to meet up with a friend later this week...  to crescent head for an old mal contest (pre 1968 logs), and then onto sydney from there for a little bit.   then we're going to make our way back up the coast to find an area to live and work.   

it should be interesting.  

fluidmotionphoto update coming soon...really

the gallery on my site has said it would be updated soon since the very end of april. oops. sorry about that. at that point, i took the photos off to hopefully come up with one, small portfolio gallery.

i wasn't sure exactly how to get started, plus i got pretty busy for a while... but i'm going to spend some time now to figure it out and actually get it online asap.

there will likely be a small portfolio section (for those who only want to see a sample of my work). i don't think i'd feel content with just that, though. i think there will be another section (or several sections) with lots of other photos, still. i just can't get myself to leave so much off of there. how can i narrow down hundreds of photos that i'm pretty attached to down to 30? i think i would have to have someone else do that for me, without me giving them any input at all...

anyone have any thoughts?? one gallery with 30-50 photos, or have multiple galleries with lots of photos?

additionally, es-cent-ial's new site will be up this coming week. there will be some good stuff on there (plus more of my photos). the escential store will be up soon after. i'll do another post on that site once it's ready.
