Several days ago I was looking at the pictures I just took and this one kept catching my eye. I didn't exactly know why but I just liked the picture.



About half a day later, it hit me like a brick. I just made an accidental homage to Eggleston.


Sumner, Mississippi by William Eggleston

Of course, it wasn't deliberate but I just love the similarities. Even the red stripe on his sweater evokes the red tie on the white man.


I once took a photo with a black man in it. Im am the Eggleston.

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

I have just some small scratches and bruising, nothing major. Camera should be repairable, taking it to a shop tomorrow.


Crappy phone picture:


The metal mount part of the body got stuck on the lens, and the two were separated inside the backpack. The lens seems to be working fine, but just to be safe I'll send it in as well. Thankfully it's covered by my insurance.

There are some advantages to walking around with a plastic-mount lens.

Had this happen to my Mark 3 and it cost about $70 through CPS and took about a week from the day I sent it out. I've had friends wait 2 months for Nikon repairs, though, so I might see if there's a local shop that can do it.

My college had one, it was totally sweet. Hmm, now that I think about it they'll probably be offloading it in the next few years...

I can totally develop 400' rolls of Tri-X in my bathtub. Right?

I rented one my final year of film school to finally shoot a 30-min short that my director buddy and I had been doing pre-production on for over a year. Absolute pleasure to use, couldn't have been happier with it. (And we only had one jam in probably ~6,000 feet exposed, and it was right at the end of a roll so we likely weren't going to use that shot anyway.)

Actually, now that I think of it I'm pretty sure I still have the short-ends from that shoot in my freezer and we shot it over 5 years ago!

Got the estimate back. Fixing all of the above will be 380EUR. Don't forget your insurance.

Dropped my camera yesterday. Actually it fell out of my bag from a bar stool. Zippers are your friend.

Lens hood took the full force of the fall. Everything is is fine so far!

Looks like the 70 frame mag that they had for NASA. --> edit: 70mm yea, you edited it right <--

If it's see-through, does that mean it's not a metal beast anymore? A plastic body? Bah.

Hasselblad 500 EL/M ‘Schnittmodell’. The EL/M (motordrive) was primarily a studio camera so it was common to use large spools of 70mm film.

It was made as a display model to show the inner workings.

It's actually a hologram to prevent you from seeing that it's just a Sony NEX-5 inside.
