First photo I ever took with my Intrepid 4x5. This is a scanned print which I made using a DIY lamphouse that converts my Intrepid into an enlarger. Read about the build here: www.apug.org/forum/index.php?threads/diy-writeup-35-lamph...

Chroma is done! I got it mounted in a frame over the Christmas break, and it's working rather well. It will probably still need some more tweaks and debugging for a little while, but it's starting to work pretty reliably. I plan to hang it up at work so people can admire my work. :)
Quiapo Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes; because of this the church is sometimes referred to as the "Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene". The foundations of the church was built in 1582 and survived the devastation of World War II despite surrounding builings being completely destroyed. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928.

some pictures of the pro-optic 8mm fisheye lens. this one's a canon mount and branded pro-optic, but it is available for nikon and pentax mounts, and possibly others. I believe this same lens is also marketed under other brands, such as bower, samyang, vivitar, and others.
I got mine at adorama, and I have only great things to say about them.
it was $289, which is crazy cheap, if you ask me. the only thing it lacks is aperture control and autofocus. the autofocus is really unimportant due to the nature of the lens though. there's basically 'near' and 'far' the hyperfocal is so big that it doesn't matter.
ken rockwell has a good writeup of this lens on his site: kenrockwell.com. I bought it because of that review, and I have to say I agree with everything he says.
Raymond Anthony Johnson
Upon discovering five months ago that Teddywedgers was for up for sale last April, I've made a point to come in and say hi to Ray more often. Since becoming the owner of Myles Teddywedgers Cornish Pasty in 2009 (when original owner Myles passed away), Ray has seen a lot change on the isthmus over the years. Many faces come and go, but as long as I've known of the existence of this wonderful place; Ray has always been there. About a month has passed since Ray and I last talked, but turns out he has recently found a new owner for Teddywedgers. I can only imagine the amount of work required to sell a business, but I'm very thankful that the new owner is going to keep making pasty's.
This evening I caught myself snapping photos of the many signs hiding the interior view from any passerby, but was happy to see Ray come out (as I couldn't see in I didn't know he was there). Turns out Teddywedgers is getting a little bit of a remodel inside, with new floors being the main focal point. Ray allowed me to sneak a peak inside, it was almost more alien then I could have ever imagined. No longer an aroma of baking pies, but a stale musty smell lingered. All the appliances had been moved from the walls, and tiles were ripped off the floor. Ray closed the door one final time, latching it with a methodical clunking noise and this chapter in his life drawn to a close.
Fate plays in strange ways, but conversing with Ray I found that this was to be the last night he would close the doors. Tomorrow, he was meeting with the new owner to sign over Teddywedgers and give up his ownership. While it was a bit bittersweet, he told me that it was time; all good things must come to an end. In reality, Ray has worked non-stop seemingly to provide the delicious pies to many a tourist and Madisonion in his time. He has passed down the craft to the new owner, and will be sticking around in the basement (in case there are questions ) til at least the end of September. Then he hopes to move to Rockford for a little while, before returning to his roots in Chicago.
He expressed to me that 30 years ago, he would have never believed he would have had the opportunities that Madison brought him. Whether having the best front row seat for many Madison events over the years, a smile crept on his face when he told me how nice it was to take in Jazz @5 without any work to do. He even stated there were times he feared he'd never get out of Chicago, and now here we were talking of the next chapter. While Teddywedgers will be closed for a few weeks for the remodel work, it was the most happy thing to hear that he will be able to relax for a change.
I requested a photo of Ray in front of Teddywedgers, as normally he's hiding behind the scenes; today I make him a celebrity. A proud moment for me, as well as for Ray; to know that tomorrow is yet to be made.
Located in Paoli's town square, Miller Garage is on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Paoli Historic District. Here is the writeup:
Miller Garage, 146 N. Court Street, Arts and Crafts style, 1920. The Miller Garage is a one-story brick building with stone accents. The garage door openings on the front (south side) of the building have been filled in with new storefronts. Above these are three stone panels. The center panel is inscribed with "GARAGE." Above this is a triangular parapet with stone coping. This building was Paoli's first garage and automobile sales showroom. The featured vehicle was the Model T. Ford. The building represents the shift from horse and wagons to automobile transportation. Other auto-related buildings in Paoli which date from the same era include the Riley Garage at 153 E. Main Street, and a small gas station on the northwest corner of W. Main and W. Fourth Streets.

Quote by Giacomo Leopardi from Zibaldone Scelto
Couple of days back, in the Hyderabad airport, I was awaiting my bus to the city; a 45 minutes wait. I went to the lobby for a bite; that's when I noticed this little missy, bubbling with energy, running here and there; laughing.
I really wanted to take her picture; but was afraid of what her parents might say; around 40 minutes I was loitering around, thinking on and on. At last, when there was 5 minutes, I mustered all the courage I could and approached her elders. They gladly accepted! Her mom started grooming her hair and asked her to look at the camera (which she didn't listen to ;). I requested not to disturb her and leave her as is.
All this while, she didn't even notice me. I'm sure she didn't understand what I was doing with a big black box pointed @ her; she was lost in her own world. After the shot, I got an e-mail ID from her parents and rushed back to catch the bus @ the last minute.

Miss Sunshine is a 1977 VW Kombi camper van, complete with a pop top with a bed upstairs. I need to do a full writeup of the towns we visited and the total mileage (that'll all be in the album description), but she drove like a champ the whole time.

Saturday at WonderCon 2015. Writeup of the con.
To be able to have an E-locker in the rear I need a full floating rear axle. Land Cruisers (40 series) came factory with one on the FJ45 pickup only. The issue is of course that the axle didn't have an e-brake since it was located on the back of the transfer case. The BJ42 doesn't have that, so I needed to add an e-brake to the FJ45 axle. Not a simple task. The two backing plates are completely different, have different spacing and a different mounting pattern. This required a bit more work. A full writeup will be available soon. In the meantime, here are some pics that give you an idea of what needs to be done.
Bronte top! It was my first one, so it's a little tight, which I fixed for the the second. I'm going to miss these RTW shorts though, super comfy and light, but the seams are starting to break down. Here's a link to my writeup for this Bronte:

It was too late to post last night and I was too busy to do the write up today.
Woke up and went for a walk with Isobel (I think, I may be getting days confused). Went to work and Brandi met me at work and we went to Kick Ass with Cynthia, Karla, Amy and Bram. It was awesome! We went out for dinner at Joey's and got home after midnight. Hence my late posting and writeup.

Quick Sketch: Kitsch as kitsch can
Above a comic shop, a Lauderhill gallery owner makes high art of the lowbrow.
By EMMA TRELLES | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
At Bear and Bird Gallery, the art begins its ribbon wind from the foot of the stairs; paintings and prints of antlered boys and enchanted ingenues usher visitors up each step and into a 700-square-foot loft.
The venue is of the punk-lowbrow-comix-pop-and-subculture variety; the space is portioned between thoughtfully curated art shows and a small shop, selling delightful inessentials such as robot pencil sharpeners and thumb-sized music boxes.
There are sepia postcards of well-dressed circus freaks, lingering from a past exhibit, and dreamlike watercolors from another, grouped stylishly in squares or strips. The floors are planked with wood, as are the ceilings, and one corner of the room is framed with gold velour couches and a marble-topped table. It's the kind of place where you can drop dollars or simply sit for a while, and look.
Amanda Magnetta-Ottati, 31, opened the gallery in February, above Tate's Comics in Lauderhill, with an exhibit of Munny dolls, chubby 7-inch pop art toys made of hard vinyl. A Munny is purchased as a blank, big-headed baby of sorts and is then transformed by its owner with anything: paint, glitter, a top hat, a set of wings. Amanda chopped off the head of hers and potted it with a succulent. More than 200 artists, most of them local, displayed their own versions. About 1,500 people showed up to see the dolls at the opening reception.
"I've always been a collector," says Amanda, "and I ran out of room in my house. The gallery is a way for me to still find art, but I bring it to everyone now, instead of keeping it all for myself."
Q. For someone who's never run an art space before, you're quite organized and precise about your curating ideas and overall vision for the gallery. Where does that come from?
A. This is my art, in a way. To make all this, how stuff is laid out on a wall or to know when something is in the right place. My mind just works that way; it looks at space and color. When I was a kid I made magazines and I had a little store. I painted rocks and toys and made my brother buy them with his allowance money. It's in my blood.
Q. How has attendance been?
A. I'd say they average a couple of hundred or less on opening night. It depends on the weather too. It's been raining so much. Except for the Munny show; that was ridiculous. There was a very orderly line winding down the stairs. I couldn't believe everybody waited. We had the bar downstairs, so that didn't hurt.
Q. What kind of patron does the gallery attract?
A. It's anywhere from tattoo artists to a cross section of Gen X and Gen Y, to regular moms and dads, to musicians. What I really like is that people who want to can buy from emerging artists that are still affordable. I'd like to create new collectors, maybe people who collect toys and books and have never bought a painting in their life.
Q. So what kind of art work could they buy at Bear and Bird?
A. I say it's mostly contemporary, representational art because that's what I like right now. That's a fancy way of saying illustrative, or stuff that tells a story, whether it's enigmatic or really obvious. It can be anywhere from folk art to photography - but with a lean towards the unusual.
Q. There is a dearth of subculture galleries in Broward. Miami-Dade has Wynwood, the Design District. Why are there so few venues here to fill the void between museum exhibits and posh, fine arts galleries?
A. Part of it is that you have to have inexpensive real estate for these kinds of galleries to open up. For a fledgling gallery, you have to first be able to afford the rent. It's a difficult thing to make a viable business; we had Tate's to work with, and it's been open for 14 years. That definitely helps. We're like an island, but we're trying to build it up here with the stores around us. The skate shop next door does art shows once in a while.
Q. Where did you come up with the name for the gallery?
A. It's named after my parents. That's their nicknames for each other. My mom's "Bird." It's a family-run business; my mom works at the store and my dad runs the register. We like to make it welcoming, kind of homey and eclectic. There really is love in everything we do here. Definitely.
Q. What about your name? Magnetta sounds like a slice from Color Wheel Pro.
A. It's an Italian name, from my dad.
Q. Tell me about the upcoming "Sex and Science" show. What made you connect the two?
A. When you think of the '50s, you think of technology and the future, but it was the pretend future. Bikini girls going into space. Everybody loves pretty girls and rocket ships. I really don't know what the artists are going to come up with; it's exciting to wait and see what they're going to send me or what they're going to paint. It's like Christmas.
