I think that in the next few years the features on digital and video cameras will become mind numbingly complex. Still image with your video, auto correcting harsh lighting, details from blown out skys… I like my D70 just fine but I can see how handy some of these features will be for a nice little 5MP pocket camera.

Shadows In Time – 9-11-01
Take a look behind the scenes of a TV station as the events of 9-11 unfold. George Giffors had his trusty camera there to record these images.

This is pretty neat, its a photo gallery that is assignment based. For example, the assignment is ‘ying and yang’ so you post you photos that have that describes the interaction of two energies.

Pinhole Info
When you take a photography class, one of the first projects you may have is to build a pinhole camera. I remember building my first pinhole when I was eight years old. My class was taken to the Clara Barton grade school in Fargo because they had a fine arts lab there, we would go there every few weeks for ceramics and things that take more than paper and pencil to do. I think it was the fall of 1976, I remember it being pretty cold but no snow. We used an oatmeal can and some photo paper that we loaded in the dark room. You can do the same thing with these handy links. Back when you could buy 126 film cartridges you could make an even simpler one than this.

Someday I will create a camera as beautiful as one of these.
Photos of Life
These photos remind me of close up photos of shells or of some tapestry… So abstract and detailed. Be sure to look at his portraits of Chinese people and the flora of Hong Kong while your there.
