Portable Strobist Lighting Gear.
Since the company I work for provides me with enough studio lights for my photo assignments I decided to sell my own heavy 20 year old Norman strobes and power packs last year and go light and portable with Strobist lighting gear for my personal work.
I recently added another Nikon SB-24 and a few homemade grids to my set.
The set was lit with an old Vivitar 285HV bounced off a silver umbrella on a light stand.

Some days you just need a hug and some of those days you have to improvise with whatever works. Cheers to warm blankets and horror flicks to get us through.
Toilettenkabine - 05
Temporary toilet typically used in locations ranging from construction sites to large gatherings such as open air music festivals.
atelier ying, nyc.
There are some cameras without which life would not be complete (it seems).
My own current personal list is the: Hasselblad SWC, Plaubel Makina, Canomatic, Tessina, Voigtlander Brillant V6, Ricoh GR1v, Luftwaffe Leica IIIc, and a dream Linhof kit.
Fortunately, I can subsume some of these desires by botanizing histories and making designs.
In this design, the Linhof kit must be a "wow" as there is a very slim chance of this design ever being built, so I can be as extreme as possible.
Which is also characteristic of the subject of this homage, Jean Cocteau who designed churches in addition to all the art that he made.
I was making notes in a cafe not far from the Cathedral St. John the Divine, one of my favorite places in this world, when it occurred to me that the large format Technika is worthy to be made into a place of worship.
Many years ago, all that was necessary to form a church was a
tax id number and some furniture for assembly.
I'm not making any references to historical church architecture in this design.
The requirement is solely that it be a functional sanctified space.
This extremely high-quality camera more than fulfills these requirements. Since I will digitize it, the actual space needed for the optics is much smaller than the bellows space. It's the focal length that's the vital factor, nothing else.
Perhaps the simple function of the camera is subsumed now by a set of complicating elements, yet this recalls the artistic habits of the very eccentric Cocteau.
Some technical features:
1. a recessed and removable chamber within the actual Linhof body will allow a dust-free enclosure for picture taking that I can remove when setting up the camera in "church" mode.
2. the bellows is either modified or adjusted (this portion of my design is incomplete here) so it can become the shape of an auditorium or concert space (with bellows extended it is almost a shoebox---the perfect kind of acoustic space for a concert hall according to the architect Rem Koolkass). I've an idea of making a triangular structure that will either be incorporated with the bellows or be placed underneath it. Either way, part of the bellows will have to be modified, and it won't have to be lightproof for the sake of the optics but for the sake of making the space dramatic for the effect of the light so it is an architectural concern, not an optical one at all.
3. The triangular base mentioned above would house a small wireless Bluetooth speaker and an incense burning element, allowing for both music and space cleansing for worship.
4. The chamber, when lifted out of the camera, allows for an auditorium space as was mentioned above. However the extra space around this chamber area would also have two choir lofts for Evensong as is shown in the sectionals on the drawing.
5. the space is also sanctified by a Procession of Relics, crossing deftly between quite a number of faiths. For example, Buddhism has relics and relic tours also. Wouldn't it be something if memento-relics of famous artists were to be included in this procession?
6. to accommodate a digital camera, a custom made Linhof back will be lined with leather to look exactly like a typical Linhof accessory. This back will have a port door typical of early cameras (kodak) that used these portholes to access the camera lens for cleaning.
7. a second twin custom made Linhof back will also have porthole door, but this one will function as the entrance to the place of worship. It will be made of iron, and will have a floating arched stairway that extends out of the back of the camera. This stairway, made out of balsa (to simulate bamboo) can be taken apart for easy storage inside the accesory camera back.
8. The Linhof viewfinder is modified with a 'Cocteau' viewfinder which has motifs reminiscent of his graphic designs
(this viewfinder will have an upload of its own, coming out soon).
This Cocteau Viewfinder has a self-contradicting element: you can look through it from both ends, mirroring the similarly contradicting design of the camera body (the traditional image paths have been reversed). Hopefully, it adds an enigmatic quality, which is my design intention.
9. The lens is taken off and replaced by a cathedral window ( when in "church" mode) which will have a cross-shaped light bar. This opening for the light starts out very narrow (Laser-cut) and opens gradually by small fractions of a degree to give a mysterious feeling of light when seen in near total darkness allowing for meditation, solitude and communion with the Divine.
10. this model Linhof IV will be covered in beautiful red leather, a traditional color of religious passion.
11. a traditional large-format View-camera dark cloth in purple with the very beautiful Linhof crest motif sewn on the back is provided, not for picture taking (although it could be used as such) but more importantly so that the worshiper can take in the religious experience vicariously.
So a poetic element of this design is that the main camera lens is not used to allow the image to traditionally enter the camera, but this lens opening becomes a Cathedral window through which worshipers look out, reversing the traditional space of the camera. Paradoxically, the main entrance to the camera is instead from the rear, made prominent by an arched floating staircase. Worshipers ceremoniously climb the long curved staircase and enter an auditorium and descend down towards the single cathedral window, which lets the light in by a simple cross. On the sectional drawing for the viewfinder there are other graphic designs drawn by Cocteau which can substitute for the main cathedral window's cross symbol, like Cocteau's signature star.
Parts of this design concept was made after the architect Tadao Ando, whose designs were applied but done with the camera as the main structure.
This camera can therefore be used as a theater or church or concert hall (via an iPhone Bluetooth connection).
As my original intent was to use it as a church, the music I intended for it was William Byrd's Masses for three voices (recording by the Alfred Deller consort)
As I have noted above, this design is not complete and is left in an extreme state which covers more possibilities without being fully resolved. As such, it has more poetic potential, honoring its main subject the poet Jean Cocteau.
This drawing is dedicated to my great friend Mike from Queens, Nyc. who has been my optics guru.

An early example Ca.1900, mainly used by contractors travelling from farm to farm hauled by a team of horses. Used for threshing, sawing etc. Not sure of the manufacturer of this example, maybe by Garretts of Leiston, being captured in a Suffolk farmyard.

I don't actively collect typewriters, but I get them when they are a good deal. They are fun to work on and type on.
These are my portables. The big boys are just to heavy for me to lug out and take shots of..lol
Okay, before anyone freaks out, please don’t judge me too hard.
This dolly abomination absolutely saved my grade and my sanity.
Back in 200? (2007-2008?) I was pursuing a bachaelors degree in art at a local university. I was in an upper division Art History class with a professor notorious for high expectations and harsh grading. Like any other “400 level” class there was a very large research paper project that was going to be a major part of our grade in the class. Something like a thirty page research paper.
Now at the time my personal life was rocky, I was close to graduating but gradually taking fewer and fewer classes, and I was working more full-time hours at my retail job. (Burnout. In hindsight I was burning out.)
I didn’t realize I was burning out but I knew, I just KNEW that I didn’t have thirty pages of words inside of me to put on a page. Even though I really enjoyed the class and love the topic: History of Surrealism, I knew I didn’t have thirty pages in me so I had to come up with a creative solution. I needed a muse.
In lieu of writing a thirty page paper, I created this Portable Muse.
I turned in this Muse (and a hand bound book of surrealist art games we had learned about in the class. I had recreated the games and wrote little explanations of them.) I got a really good grade and passed the class.
(I did end up dropping out of school for real and never finished my degree. Oops.)
The muse herself is a Britney Spears head on a Ocean Toys Pamela Love torso mounted on an imitation squirrel paintbrush. She comes in her own labeled tin (a repurposed Surf Benders tin.)
(I have the original head for this torso and had been looking for poor Pamela’s body for a while… then I remembered what I had done to her and found this old Portable Muse in my studio.)
This Macintosh Portable was purchased from Aldus as part of an obsolete equipment sale back in 1994. It is a non-backlit model that boots into System 6. The lead acid battery has long since passed it’s prime and is a good candidate for a refurbish.
I'm moving soon so all my stuff is getting packed up. Fortunately I can still listen to tunes without a sacrifice in sound quality.
Thinkpad X220: Nice speedy laptop that suits my weekly travel needs well.
Audioquest Dragonfly: Great little dac that outputs up to 24/96 lossless audio files.
Ray Samuels SR-71B: Super powerful balanced amp capable of powering the most difficult loads.
Audeze LCD-2: Fantastic Orthodynamic headphones. Addictive sound that is unlike most headphones you've ever heard.
