Friday Aug. 7th a Walk and a Vision

On my daily stroll to Percival Landing, Downtown and Traditions I realized my eyes are working much better these days. Seems that my diabetes now controlled has made my eyes work back to a couple years ago when I needed a Plus one diopter not a plus two. Now I can use the D-3100 with my manual Brass and Glass lens. No longer stuck with the AF shit [kit] lens. A bit of the happy dance here. Still testing but these with said shit lens used manually are sharp. In the menu for the D-3100 is a sharpening setting so you can make the lens pretend to be optically sharp instead of having the elements of composite [plastic] lens actually be sharp. Since buying this camera with a built in diopter that is not strong enough for someone who needs a plus 2 I have been stuck using just the kit lens. End of rant!

All images on site are for sale except Portraits. The new digital B+W are available as work prints at a reduced price. [8×10-8×12 $75] Work prints are excellent except not as archival. By selling these at a reduced price I will see more of my work on paper and adjust the files to the standard of excellence my work is known for and help me to eat.

Peace and Jazz every Friday at Percival landing 4:30- 6

Job Interview Prep

Kites Ocean shores July 7th



Well the day dawned in the upper 50’s with the forecast high low 60’s I wasn’t going to be cold or burn so I went in a long sleeve tee a work shirt and my vest. It reached the low 70’s but with the breeze I was perfect. An eventful trip as we bounced along at 50 mph round curves I noticed this women doing eye make up I was amazed. There was a warning noise and a check engine light. We pulled over as the driver contacted dispatch. I went to speak with her and show her my images. On her way to a job interview and her phone not working I gave her my phone to call her appt. On the way back she took the same bus telling us she had gotten the job. Kites, kids playing, horses cars on the beach even a swimmer or two just a normal day at the beach.

My Message to the surf and you.

Back in a retrospective mood today from the Layered Life series sort of, I also shoot a lot of signs neon. During this session I wanted my model tougher more present, lots of images in this series are made to look like the subject is from 1800’s contrasted with the modern. Working on some portraits sitting on the stair the man stepped to the window and the image was complete. Click an image made [in the old day’s we used to make negatives-images] today everything is captured. Personally I prefer making images whether it is with film like this or digital. Making an image just sounds better than capturing. enjoy pjc
