NYC Walkabout

Still walking around at night with a camera.  I always shoot without flash, and handheld, capturing the mundane, yet beautiful in the quiet.

sMacBook Vol.2

It's here.  More on Facebook.  Link is over there on the right.

Setting The Scene

There's something about a vintage car parked on a NYC side street.  It just feels right, and looks as if it belongs to the scene.

Holga Magic

Captured on a grassy hill with sea views, somewhere in a very remote part of New England. I credit the medium film format as well as the plastic Holga camera used for the resulting magic.  This surely doesn't occur with digital, unless an 'app' is applied to the photo.  Happy Weekend to all!

Red & Gold

I seem to use these colors a lot.  This is a page from a new book I've put together.  More over at the sMacVision Facebook page.

Conley Kewpie Box Camera

It needed some work....

Some details.....

The sharpy-sharp problem (as I defined it)  [note: thanks to the wonderful Michael Napper!]......

 The solution I invented to keep the diopter on the camera [Michael sometimes uses tape.  The leatherette on this camera is so brittle I feared doing that, and, well, I'm a girl, and I wanted something pretty and versatile that I didn't have to worry would slip.....

Focusing with my new contraption will have to be experimental.  These are the first test prints just scanned last night!  They were just posted in an album titled "Kewpie Camera Test Film" on my Facebook page.

Evolution of a Doodle

I started with a little ball point pen doodle the size of my thumbnail, scanned and enlarged to roughly 5"square....

Removed the white background layer in Photoshop, and printed out on old paper.  On this, I did some light coloring.....

Re-scanned, and edited in Photoshop where I digitally painted more than 20 new versions.  Here's a detail of the latest.....

To view the whole thing and other versions, see on the sMacVision Facebook page, it's open to the public.
