Even though these three shots looks similar (thats what i was going for) they were actually taken over the course of three days, just with the camera never really going away :)
I was going for a really basic, almost abstract, feel.
Strobist info: back lit by a single bare strobe at 1/16th
In the raw converter i almost completly desaturated the image and then put a major boost of contrast using the exposure, brightness, contrast, blacks, fill light and tone curve controls :)
a.k.a. 'a place for everything'
this is the Scottevest (SeV) Quantum, a now-discontinued model that i've had for a few years. it's everything i'd hoped it would be, with a few minor exceptions. it's more water *resistant* than waterPROOF, and the fabric inside the pockets is a bit too flimsy. and the MetroCard window-pocket (#22) tends to snag on the clip of anything you might carry in your front-left pants pocket. other than that, great jacket. 28 pockets. and even as jam-packed with gear as it appears, it's still under-utilized.
if you ride the NYC subway system, you'll often hear "backpacks and other large containers are subject to random search by the police.." - this jacket is a great way to carry a backpack's worth of stuff around, without getting hassled by the man.
now that the weather's getting warmer, i don't wear this as often. it has zipper vents on the sides but those things don't help enough, especially when there's no breeze. rather than remove everything & transfer it to something else, i can roll up the jacket (minus the D5000) and carry it in the top of my messenger bag (part 3). AND, when entering the subway system, there's still room in the back pocket of the jacket to fold up the messenger bag and stuff it inside. very versatile.

1. Sony AM/FM Walkman, spare AAA battery, BlackBerry wired headset
over the past decade, two major events have occurred in NYC: 9/11 and the Northeast Blackout of 2003. during both of those events, the most reliable method of finding out WTF was going on was AM radio. so this little guy is always with me, tuned to 1010WINS. the BB headset can plug into the BB or the walkman.
2. Passport and Moleskine
the most widely accepted form of photo ID, and a moleskine for notes, musings, and tiny paper airplanes.
3. Big Red chewing gum
i like fresh breath and cinnamon. and i despise and distrust sugar substitutes.
*UPDATE*
Aspartame?!?!? Really??? OK Big Red is officially out of the rotation. And now i need a new gum.
4. mini Bic lighter
more convenient and more reliable than the peanut lighter i've long considered buying.
5. Cables and Adapters
- USB > Mini USB cable
- Mini USB > Micro USB adapter
- 1/8" male > RCA female adapter
- 1/8" male > dual 1/8" female adapter
- 1/8" stereo coupler
- 1/8" male > RCA male cable
- 1/8" male > 2.5mm male cable
- 1/4" male > 1/8" female adapter
with these i can plug anything into anything.
the mini USB works w/ the Rikiki (#18) and the Zen (#9), the micro USB can dock and/or recharge the BB.
my favorite do-everything camera.
7. Nikon D5000 w/ 35mm f/1.8 lens
when a P&S just won't do justice to the image. kept inside a UPS 2nd Day Air Pak, which is made out of some sort of very strong, definitely waterproof polymer.
8. spare AA batteries
for the 4Sevens Quark AA2.
9. Creative Zen 16GB, Sennheiser HD212 Pro headphones
my favorite MP3/video player. holds a charge forever, and has an SD slot so i can use it as an external HD, or (more importantly) a portable SD backup device. if one of the SD cards in the cameras is full, i can pop it into the Zen and import all the pics. it also has a voice recorder, in case i want/need to record a phonecall.
and the Sennheisers, i spent an hour @ J&R's 'wall of headphones' trying on everything they had. and these had the best sound of any unit under $200. plus i love that they're totally modular, i can unplug the wires from both earpieces for transport. before these i'd burned through two consecutive pairs of Sony MDR-V700DJs due to wire crimping. and crappy hinges.
10. SanDisk 2GB MicroSD card, MicroSD > SD adapter
backup card - sometimes it's empty, sometimes it stores videos for playing on the Zen, sometimes it's full of client files. 2GB worth of whatever i need.
11. Petzl Spirit carabiner, keys, 8GB Lacie Itsakey, 4GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro
finally found the load-bearing carabiner i've been looking for. made in the USA, no hard corners on the gate to snag, no paint to fleck off, and not monstrously huge. and the flash drives are still going strong.
12. six quarters
for vending machines and/or other POS devices that don't take bills.
a.k.a. 'Fisher space pen refill carrying case'.
14. Dunlop Teckpick
an aluminum pick, really stiff with a big chunky/clangy sound. works well on a drop-tuned electric or a nylon-stringed acoustic. i wouldn't trust it near a 12-string.
15. $20 emergency cash
cab fare, meal, etc.
16. 1GB SanDisk MicroSD card
all my passwords and some personal files in an encrypted (160-bit Blowfish) .ace file. and a copy of winace.
still my favorite phone, despite RIM's plunging market share.
18. Lacie Rikiki 500GB external hard drive
a very very good drive.
this pen looks and feels better than it writes. i used to love Lamy, don't know why the M66 refills suck. i should really swap it out with something else.
20. Black Sharpie (Fine), Silver Metallic Sharpie (Fine),
assorted zip ties, rubber bands, and twist ties
the black Sharpie is for writing on anything lighter than grey (#666666). the silver Sharpie is for writing on anything darker. the rest is for ad hoc cable management.
21. Petzl Spirit carabiner, Victorinox Cybertool 34
a 2nd carabiner and the do (almost) anything Cybertool.
22. MetroCard
this is for the subway, my home away from home.
and also some safety pins, just beside the card.
23. SureFire G2 LED, w/ spare 123A batteries
backup flashlight - another important lesson learned in the '03 blackout. i was in New Jersey when the power went out, and my light @ the time (inova x5) ran out of juice on the way back to the City. so now i always have a backup light and at least one set of spare batteries. it only has one output level: VERY BRIGHT. it's essentially bombproof, and the batteries have a ten year shelf life.
24. 'first aid' kit
latex exam gloves, alcohol swabs, cotton balls, q-tips, neosporin, paper towels. nothing too serious. but when my son gets a booboo (or touches ANYthing on the subway) i'm glad to have it.
25. book
whatever i'm reading at the time.
26. mini tripod
palm-sized and generic, but juuust sturdy enough to support the D5000 if i find myself desperate for a shake-free shot.

Take your pick, USA NYLON Jim Dunlop picks, these are a good choice for recording strumming acoustic guitar.
This little carved box is one of my favourite things - and a great place to keep easy-to-lose guitar picks. Like bookmarks and fishing flies, picks have a distinctive functional charm.
A dull miserable day outside and wasn't really much in the way of anything nice to photograph on this morning's bike ride.
So, seeing as it's miserable out, I dragged out my stomp boxes for a bit of noodling.

I love my Jim Dunlop plectrum. I seriously think it's one of the best guitar accessories I own. Amazing for the rhythm.
I was trying my new diopters that I got fresh off of eBay. Shooting with a flash is a pain. Trying to learn.
Cheers. Have a great day ahead.

The 2015 edition of my pedalboard. Yep, it grew back, but with different products. The board is a Pedaltrain 2. Top row left to right: MXR Carbon Copy analog delay, Cioks Big John power supply, Korg DT-10 tuner, Dunlop Germanium Fuzz Face Mini, Dunlop DVP-1 volume pedal. Bottom row left to right: TC Electronic Shaker Vibrato, MXR Uni-Vibe, MXR Phase 90, TC Electronic Spark Booster, MXR Micro Flanger. The flanger and the fuzz are not connected to the rest of the pedals. Not shown: the Dunlop Crybaby wah pedal. I'm thinking about putting the Uni-Vibe, fuzz and wah on a separate board for some late 60s niceness.
Née à la fin des 70's en pleine ascension du mouvement psychédélique, la Wah Wah est tout de suite adoptée par la plupart des musiciens avides de découvrir de nouveaux horizons jusqu'alors inexplorés...
La récente amplification des instruments, l'avancée technologique fulgurante entrent en fusion avec les drogues de l'époque et vont jouer un rôle déterminant auprès des artistes...
Tout explose, tout devient possible, les fameuses portes de l'esprit sont grandes ouvertes, le spectre des émotions musicales va s'étendre et grandir de façon démentielle.
Rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant, à notre plus grand bonheur...
lexan dunlop stubby. my ex got one of these from a tool concert and i tried it and have not looked back since,
It is nice to use because I like heavy strings and if it is good enough for adam jones... well i just love this pick for the "feel"... oh man did i just catch myself trying to compare my playing to tool ? man i feel sucky. but i think it's a good thing to have guitar hereos
The weather turned unnecessarily horrendous today, but Hol and myself still went into town.
This is my guitar pick, its amazing how such a little thing can create such brilliant sounds, and its weird how by using different sizes it completely changes your playing style.
Feel free to follow me on Twitter. You stalker.
My current pedalboard with detailed pedal list and signal chain order. This is the board which is featured in the Pedalboard Rundown on YouTube.
The Armoy Armada were Mervyn Robinson, Joey Dunlop Frank Kennedy & Jim Dunlop. These men demonstrated acts of commitment, dedication, camaraderie and talent proving that the Armoy Armada really were legends in the sport of Road Racing.
Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in 1966 to the present day. Musicians, engineers, and historians discuss the impact of the pedal on popular music and demonstrate the various ways it has been used, as well as how its evolution has improved the ability of artists to express themselves musically. The film features interviews with Brad Plunkett, the inventor of the pedal, plus many other musical luminaries such as Ben Fong-Torres, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Buddy Guy, Art Thompson, Eddie Kramer, Kirk Hammett, Dweezil Zappa, and Jim Dunlop. These professionals explain how a musical novelty transcended convention and has become timelessly woven into the fabric of modern pop-culture.
