what do you see like: 2013

more than alright.

curious how people respond to you using a flash for street photography

i don't usually. brought it out this weekend. i think being a westerner in hk i get a lot of leeway that locals wouldn't. mostly ppl just assume im a tourist, and im much more bold that i'd probably be in canada. mostly i don't hang around to see their reaction, though i sense sometimes ppl being like "wait what?" ...just posted about one really great response in the photo-breezing thread, though.

finally updated my website ^___^

Richard, website looks great. I need to put some work in on mine, always got an idea what I want to do but never quite manage it.

Rent - particularly love the first one, in b+w.

great update, jimmy mod-- "things" is my favorite

fyi I went w squarespace. illustrator homies of mine all use cargo but they thought squaresp. would work better for me and it seems like it did. The tech support was helpful too, as I was migrating from an older/harder to use domain host.

rad set rent. wheelchair shadows. the second & sixth images didn't show for me, fwiw, but you can click through & see them so it's okay.

The light is great in that one!

The plan was to walk from Maze Hill to Cutty Sark DLR along the path before the sun set but Ava said "This is beautiful. Can we go on the beach?" It was almost completely dark when we finally left.

i am really into that, michael. you are i think the only person whose film & digital work i have trouble distinguishing between? either because you're good at scanning prints or else because your digital work is effective, i don't know. i am london agnostic but it looks really nice being where you were.

Thank you! I do very little scanning of my own, so I think it's probably because I put a gentle S-curve on everything I shoot digitally.

Not a great shot, but, damn, Kristin Hersh came to my local bookshop and did the world launch of the new Muses record!

Not sure I actually like this photograph but I keep being drawn back to it. Bit more saturated than I'd normally go for, and quite busy with nothing really there.

i like how abstract it is

also schlump i didn't say this last time but i really love the bike + hand upthread. great balance

yeah, michaellambert, I like that one - the shadows are doing just the right work across the ground, giving this little slice of light to work the frame within a frame...it's groovy. And I think the saturation looks great, not OTT at all.

Thanks guys. Was really nice light that day. It's turning so quickly now - around 4pm there was some really nice light coming in through the office windows, not long after 5pm it was dark.

Just getting the hang of the new camera. ISO 25600, you gotta be kidding me...

Set the video for Magnum...

A couple of DSLR generations ago that would have been ISO1600 or ISO3200 at a push!

Fireworks aftermath is great.

Forgive my indulgence, firework time again.

Inevitably, there are more.

v nice

what ISO?

All 1600, I think. I've done some very light processing in Lightroom, but not much.

I went down to some pretty short shutter speeds, there's one or two in the Flickr set at 1/3200. Others more around the 1/200 - 1/800 mark.
