Barnes & Noble Greece tomorrow

Democrat and Chronicle is promoting the Capture Rochester Photobook at Barnes and Noble in Greece tomorrow at 2pm. It's on my route, and they asked if I'd stop in for the book signing. Not really wanting to deface any of the great photos in the book, I'll sign on the title page if asked.

The beauty of B&W

Wilson Photo Club made its first field trip of the season to Genesee Country Village, Mumford yesterday. Here are few of the images that I took. The four students in my group shot over 10 rolls of Tri-X film ... developing and printing come next.

Some Fall Sports Action: Testing some big telephotos and zooms.

ts'ben a too long time ...

... since I updated and I'm feeling a bit the slacker for it. Prevailing excuses are the many new job assignments coming my way in photography, a couple of art shows this summer / fall and a new semester for chemistry and photolabs at MCC and RIT. Least I could do is boink up a few photos though. They're coming soon.

Falling Waters

One great thing about this part of the world is the abundant water, in the Great Lakes, in the Finger Lakes, in the thousands of lakes and ponds of the Adirondacks. Here's some waterfalls photos from the past month.

Right On School

Dig or Nix

Capture Rochester is a new project that I've gotten into this week. The ice was on the porch window this past winter and the this fat cat is charging up his static electricity batteries and catching some rays. Make your votes and check out the book project.

Trying out the scanners at school. Trying to get some of my old 120 negs and slides into digiland. This is from the Smokey's. Kodak PKR film, that's Kodachrome 64 in 120 format !!

from the Orienteering Meet at Letchworth!

This past weekend was the 2008 U.S. Orienteering Championship Meet hosted by the Rochester Orienteering Club. It was a two day event in Letchworth State Park and Mendon Ponds. Participants from the Northeast U.S. and Canada ran courses that were set out to challenge their map-reading and navigation skills. The weather was summer-like and it was a great weekend. Photo/slideshow soon.

Happy Easter

When we crossed the bridge this morning we saw the ice-fishermen were out on the bay. They'll be there until the bitter end of winter. Fixing pipes and running out of time. Seeds need to get started and I need to find a cure for the drips.

Cyanotype is a very old iron-based photographic process. The formulas are quite simple and safe to use. I'm teaching another cyanotype workshop in early May and will put a few more up in the blog.

Happy St. Patrick's Day !! Winter is winding down -- at least I think it is. This was taken last week on a swirly, snowy, sunny, windy day. I has three students for tutoring that day. It was quite a mix, AP Physics, basic math aimed at passing the US Army entrance exam and the dreaded fractions for fourth graders.

Slide Show ! I was just introduced to this application. Look for more of these in future
