Perhaps this could be in series with the snowplow in Gloversville? This is on Townsend Avenue in Johnstown. Townsend Avenue is not at the end of town where Johnstown becomes Gloversville, but it is close. Perhaps historically, it may have been a boundary.

I’m getting better at color correction in digital production. Or, I think I am. What if where you see blue, I see red?

I miss the Rolleiflex TLR. And, there’s something about 6×6 slide film.

This is a bonus shot that I saw on the way back from something else. The something else is coming soon

If this painting happened to be at the Met? Genius!

Slogged through the mud to check this out. Not quite an InstaVan, but it’s kind of glorious in its comprehensive mediocrity.

This is my new Facebook “cover” photo. I should probably retire this as a subject, but I just cant quit you, Bear Muffler! I gelled a couple Canon 430s with Rosco gel “Canary Yellow” and put them around behind the car. I can’t find my radio transmitters at the moment so I used the ST-E2 — and since that’s IR, I needed line-of-sight to the flashes. Else, I could have hidden the lights behind the wheels. But, I didn’t mind the little sparkly lights on the ground in the end. This is actually seven different exposures. I imported them into Photoshop, “load files into stack”, “automatically align”, then set the blending mode on each layer to “Lighter Color.” The process takes about sixty seconds.

For the precise, the dimensions of the Facebook cover photo need to be 830 by 315 in pixels.

I hit the icy sidewalks of JTown today on a specific Top Secret photographic mission. I had my M2 and three rolls of film. While I was finishing up at my undisclosed destination, I discovered that I had actually only brought two rolls of film. Curses. And, of course that meant that I’d see lots of stuff on my walk home. So, I got all cameraphonerated and took lots of Instagrams and Instagramish stuff.

Stay tuned for the film project soon, assuming it develops okay.

BONUS, yet another BEAR MUFFLER photo:

A couple new additions to the Reflections ISW set. Oh, weird Johnstown.

Here’s a new glimpse into the Hidden Universe – a set I’m slowly, slowly working on.

Three remnants of Johnstown NY. Expired Portra NC. Mamiya C330 with a gorgeous 65mm lens.
