Out for a Spin
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 Posted in Random & Fun Photography, Test Shots | No Comments »My three boys have an affinity for cars … and the oldest isn’t even 6 yet. I suppose that get that naturally.
So, I thought I’d take their love of cars (and mine, too) and my passion for photography and find where the two converge.
The backdrop for this was shot during the Fall here in Franklin, TN. The colors are incredible that time of year.
The car is a slightly worn/loved Maisto … a Hot Wheel wannabe … from their collection.
Lighting was a little tricky. I can’t imagine lighting a full-sized car.

Another New Toy … Walnut Pinhole Camera
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 Posted in Pinhole Camera | No Comments »Today I felt a little like Nicéphore Niépce as I shot photos from the top of a building on Main Street in downtown Franklin, Tennessee. My camera? A beautifully crafted 65mm f/130 pinhole camera made of walnut by Dennis Wilder.
This is such a contrast to my “normal” shooting with digital SLRs … and I LOVE the serendipity that this old technique allows. Digital is fast, immediate, highly controlled … where this is slow, clunky and far less control … all good therapy for me.
My first Polaroid pulled from my new pinhole camera. Niépce would be proud.

One of my favorite Polaroid shots from my afternoon on the roof in 30 degree weather. The exposure time on this was about 6 seconds … as I counted in my head … one Mississippi, two Mississippi. Oh, and the shutter? … my finger.

What next? Who knows, but one thing’s for sure, I’m having fun.
