Shooting Film. Kodak Tri-X

I really don’t blog enough. I want to blog all the time, but I think I get distracted, or maybe I just really don’t like WordPress. I’ve got so much history here though, it’s a huge undertaking to migrate to another format. I’ve been shooting film a lot, maybe for 6 months straight, exclusively. I’ve sold off most of my Canon digital lenses. Picked up some Leica lenses to go with my M6 (a 50mm Summicron, and a 28mm Elamrit).

Selling my 70-200mm f4 IS?

I’m not using my 70-200 f4 much these days, maybe its time for a break.

Wedding Shoot: San Antonio Day 2

Shooting a wedding for family this weekend.

Cameras

I’m still saving like a banshee for a new camera. Here’s what I have lens wise: * Canon 50mm f/1.4 * Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS * Canon 18-55 EF-S I’m having the darnedest time deciding between a Canon EOS 30d and a EOS 5d. I still shoot film occasionally and want to get into wide angle stuff. To me it seems the full frame 5d is the perfect choice. I could pick up a 17-40mm f4L lens and be in wide angle heaven.

Flickr Fun

I’ve had a flickr account for a while now, but I’ve finally start of using it. It’s basically replaced my photoblog. You can see my flickr page here.
