It’s 2012, Time to Talk Resolutions?
January 8th, 2012, No Comments
Another year gone and it’s time to take stock of things done and make some plans for the new year. Do you want me list off a lot of goals and resolutions for 2012? I didn’t think so – too boring. How about if pull out my list of goals for 2011 and tell you [...]
Help Preserve Vivitar History!
August 31st, 2011, No Comments
Want to help preserve the history of an American camera and lens company? Let me tell you a story… I’ve been using some of my spare time in the last few years playing with vintage cameras and lenses. I search for interesting vintage items at estate sales and online. I recently came across a very [...]
Goodbye Camerapedia. Hello Camera-Wiki.org
February 27th, 2011, 5 Comments
When I became interested in vintage cameras, I discovered an invaluable website called Camerapedia. It was a huge wiki created by vintage camera geeks from around the world with photos and specs for thousands of cameras. I started contributing in a minor way with what little I could; a new Argus C page here or [...]
Goals and Resolutions
January 22nd, 2011, No Comments
January is the time of year for setting goals and checking to see how I did on last year’s goals. It’s probably more interesting to hear about things I’ve done or tried and failed to do than to hear about what I plan to do in the future. I’ll stick with the former. We get [...]
Photography Update
August 3rd, 2010, No Comments
I’ve been so busy helping to get a Dallas hackerspace started that I’ve neglected my blog again. But I haven’t been too busy to continue my photography experiments. On the vintage camera front, I’ve acquired a few new items including an Ansco 1065 fixed focus 35mm and a nice postwar Argus C3. I’m hoping to [...]
Time to get this blog rolling again
April 21st, 2010, 1 Comment
2010 got off to a good start, then I was hit by some unexpected family losses followed by some annoying family weirdness. Between that and a larger than usual assortment of extra-curricular activities, my blog got derailed. It’s time to fix that. For those who haven’t kept up with my twitter feed or photo stream, [...]
June is gone already!?
June 30th, 2009, No Comments
Yes, June is over already and it feels like I haven’t gotten anything done. Work has been taking up most of my time. Since I last posted I’ve been to A-Kon 2009. I shot few A-Kon cosplay photos plus a few time exposures of the A-Kon Friday night rave. I also shot a few photos [...]
May Miscellany
June 28th, 2009, No Comments
Time for a quick update. May started off with the VEX Robotics World Championship here in Dallas. I was one of the judges evaluating the 270 teams and their robots. I’ll probably write a little more about it in an upcoming issue of Robot Magazine for those who are interested. I created a robots.net twitter [...]
