Quarantine has me trying all sorts of experiments. One of which is retro fitting 35mm film into an old Ansco Rediflex medium format camera. It produces some interesting results (I’ll post a few in the coming days).
But I’ve wanted my 2020 avatar to be on taken on film. Thanks to my wife Eliza for taking this photo with this crazy set up. Turned out pretty neat.
Eliza, sunset – September 2018
I remember this as a gorgeous early fall evening with Eliza and friends.
South Iceland – September 2018
In mid-September Eliza, my niece Keri, and I explored the south of Iceland. These photos are but a handful of the thousands we captured on our adventure through the volcanic island. What a place! I hope I get back to explore other areas in the future.
An original iPhone shot – November 2009
The short story behind this photo that I’ve recently stumbled across is that Eliza and I were on a cruise in late-2009. I took my iPhone and she was still lugging around her DSLR. We both snapped a photo at the same time. But, I had never thought to mash them together like this until one day, recently, I was looking through some photos and saw the two of them nearly side-by-side.
The quality of the image from the original iPhone brings a smile to my face. Like looking back at old web sites and projects I made 10 years ago.
Adventure Aquarium, Camden, New Jersey – May 2017
Nine years ago today Eliza, John Gruber, Rob Sandie, Matt Regula and I were standing in line for the original iPhone. Here are a few photos:
John, before having a computer in his pocket.
It was quite a day. Looking back on it now, that day changed everything we do now.
It is no secret that Eliza and I have a lot of learning to do regarding our gardening adventures. Our biggest problem to solve, it seems, will be what to do with all of the produce. Marisa McClellan has our solution. FoodInJars.com is her Web site that has a single mission: “a campaign to teach people to can”.
Marisa, we’ll be referencing Food In Jars a lot in the coming months. Thanks for the hard work involved in putting it out there.
Though this event is split into two parts, the Philadelphia WordPress Meetup and the Philadelphia Webloggers Meetup to me it is all just about blogging and so I sign up for both.
Chris at Ten Stone Bar – April 15, 2006
So far Eliza, Mike, and Chris are coming with me. It looks like Rob, Tom, and Marisa are definitely going. Andrea and Jason might be going. And sadly Tony G. can’t make it. Update: Happily Tony G. is able to make it!
And, it appears we’re going to have a fairly full house.
If you are in the Philadelphia area (heck I’m 2 1/2 hours away and I’m still going) and you’d like to meetup with some great people to discuss WordPress, blogging, Viddler, or just sit back and enjoy a beer – sign up to the meetup and we’ll see you there.
Note: You can add this event to your calendar program of choice since this post is marked up using hCalendar. Enjoy.
Note addendum: It appears that the above link won’t work for Outlook users? Not sure why – probably because Outlook sucks? 😉
Eliza saw Mike’s recent Photo Booth extravaganza photos and wanted to make some of her own, so she did.
