I Built a City

I decided to build a city that would be located by a lake, and reach into the sky. We could drive around my city, at night and listen to music:

At night my city would reflect its lights across the water.




Or.. we could rent a helicopter and fly over it at night... see all of the lights.





In the evening, we could sit out in the lake and take in the sunset.





This is my city.... That's correct, my city is just made from staples, a mirror and colored lights.



But if I add some additional color effects... I kinda want to visit for just on night.

Wanna come for a drive?

I bought a new Camera

Ok... after processing film through the scanner, I noticed that my work flow is not quick. Especially with Sam's wedding, and Thanksgiving (where I lost a complete roll of film due to the camera being setup wrong)
The Film workflow:
Compose->Shoot->Send To lab-> wait->get films back-> review-> scan-> adjust-> upload.

A couple of weeks ago... I went a little kooky. You know.... Shit happened, life got all screwed up and I could not figure out why.... The cure for this???

You go shopping..... and you buy something! Sometimes... you buy something BIG!

I did it... I went out, and bought a high-end digital camera... The shots below are from the new camera.



High-end is a funny term..... even though it is still a Nikon, the lenses they make for these things don't allow super close photos. But.. since it is a high-end Nikon, it will allow me to use all my high-end lenses from my film cameras. That's right... I still use the damn thing set in "Manual" mode to get the best shots.


I will still shoot film, especially medium format. But a lot of the quick stuff I need, they will most likely be digital.

The Digital workflow:
Compose->Shoot->review->adjust-> upload.
