Homeland Security and Photography

Check out The Artist’s Statement, Ian Spiers, had a runin with local law enforcement and feds while taking pictures for a college assignment.

Epson 2400 Scanner

Well, I returned my Epson 2400, I decided to upgrade to the 2450, because the 2400 was not meant to handle medium format. I’d much rather use a scanner that for sure will handle all the medium format negatives my heard desires. I will review the 2450 and compare it to the 2400 when it arrives. I bought the 2450 on ebay refurbished with a 1 year warranty for about $170 (Circuit City sells it for $299 brand new).
