Jakob Dylan and Three Legs

     First, sorry about the quality. We all know by now how picky people are about you taking large SLR cameras in, and they are hard to hide. That leaves me with my powershot and grain.      Anyway, it was an amazing show. Jakob Dylan is a really nice guy too. IF you ever get the chance to meet him, I highly recommend it. They played a lengthy set that ended with "Three Marlenas" (A Wallflowers song from back in the day, and personal favorite), bantered a lot, sang to a baby, and so on. It is clear they were having a great time playing, and that always makes me feel good about being there. He also played a good cross-section of music from the new album "Women and Country" and his last album, "Seeing Things".

Two years

     So, My camera's protection renewal form was due today. That means that two years ago today, I got my first serious digital camera and started down the path I am on now. Two years ago, my serious love of photography started to grow at an amazing rate. Anyway, this is the second photo I attempted for this post. For the first, I stacked all my 48 cameras I own.

I thought it was a fitting coincidence that I needed to do that today, on what I consider the anniversary of the start of my career. The photo is a representation of my past and future. The photowipes, and negatives are from my darkroom days. The passport was my great grandfathers to get into this country, and the camel picture is a long story. I will come back to it.      Anyway, I suggest looking back through the archives to see what I have done specifically, but I wanted

Two years, Rejected photo

This is the first photo idea I had for the two year mark...

Check

Chess sets are one of those things I always see photographed in black and white, and I decided while I was checking my camera, I might as well set it up. I think it turned out alright, but not my greatest work.

Sold Out

I went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox earlier, and had the entire theater to myself (until right before the movie started when a whole two other people came in). They weren't playing trailers or anything so I amused myself with photography. In post I turned the brightness way up and moved the midtones. Since I shot this with my happy-snap camera, it looks real grainy. I found this effect fitting....
