Completely unrelated except for the Vancouver bit.

My buddy Buzz Bishop is a *huge* radio/media celebrity in Vancouver.

He has been trying to reach you guys to do an interview. I gave him your email address and he used Heather`s contact page.

If you guys could fit in a 4 minute spot, it would be awesome.

(15 photographs by 100 photographers). we’re launching soon and i’d love love love for you to be a part of it. check out http://www.15×100.com and blog.15×100.com. i’d hot link to the sites and then make a comment about ‘hot links’ but my phallic meat jokes are so three days ago.

Still voting for more info. on the printer/inks before buying! Thanks! : )

BTW, I love the pseudo-grain feel as well. I work 100% digitally (apart from shooting with a Holga for giggles now and then) and miss the grain at times.

I don’t think the balloon is trying to escape. It just wants to make love to the beautiful ceiling! Mmmm… delicious ceiling.

FYI, Internet!

There’s a really interesting article appearing in the New York Times Magazine this weekend about blogging. They’ve already posted it online at: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/25/magazine/25internet-t.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

I think you have to do a free sign-up thing if you aren’t already a reader.

Great shot. I’m heading to Vancouver in August and from what I’ve heard, it’s just unreal. I can’t wait to take some shots. Have a great trip!

Jon, what do you do to get the pseudo-grain? I’m also curious about the darkened-edge, retro-lens-y look, do you get that in-camera, or in post-production?

Grand Central truly is grand, isn’t it? Standing in the center of it, with the bustle of people all around you, and the amazing architecture…how fabulous!

I do feel very sorry for the balloon.
