7-20-15 Testing My New FujiFilm Instax 210 Instant Camera!
Hey all,
A couple weeks ago I was able to test my brand new FujiFilm Instax 210 Instant Camera so I wanted to share those test photos with you. It was July 4th weekend up in historic Ridgfield, Connecticut and we saw that the local homeowners had dressed up their historic homes for the holiday! My instant photo scans are below (I only scanned them using my Epson Perfection V600 default settings so they were scanned just as they were – no correction):
5-14-15 I just ordered a Nikon F3HP Camera Body!

Hey Readers!
I’m totally riding the analog 35mm film wave! Since I’m arranging to shoot real 35mm film soon (Kodak film), I decided it was time to get a real, professional 35mm camera! Some of you may remember I ordered a Nikon FE last year to test. I had to return it when I realized I needed something better: the Nikon F3HP. This week, I spent additional hours of research online to make sure it was the best bet (and most affordable option), and finally decided it was time to buy. That way, I can use the F3HP body with my old school Nikon AI and AIS lenses!

4-28-15 DigiPower Camera “Stabilizer” is Not Worth Your Money!
Hey y’all! Hope your respective weeks are off to a great start!
I just shot a music performance at Moscow 57 with my GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition and needed a stabilizer for it. So I bought the DigiPower Camera Stabilizer from Best Buy… it worked… but not when I was moving! What a contradiction in terms: a “stabilizer” that doesn’t keep your camera steady when you move!
12-19-14 Why I decided to return my Beautiful Black Rollei 35 Travel Camera
I’m FINALLY getting around to explaining why, after all my research, I decided to return my awesome mobile Rollei 35 travel camera. It was a beautiful machine, the black version.
It’s a totally portable 35mm film travel camera and amazing small. I was really excited to get it. However, after shooting two test rolls of film, I discovered it has it’s drawbacks…

12-5-14 MacBook Air 13″ (Early 2014) runs Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5!
Good news! I’ve now successfully installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5 onto my new Best Buy open-box MacBook Air 13″ (Early 2014). I bought it on Black Friday. And both programs open really fast. I had to get on the horn to Apple to get my free iLife download, but it all worked out nicely. For the record, I’m running OSX 10.9.5. And I’m now awaiting a case I ordered.

Now that I’ve returned my Nikon FE (I’ll write about that soon), I’ve delved into my research of Rollei 35 “compact” or “sub compact” cameras.
Here’s a good discussion about the Rollei 35 on Flickr.
