Home from War!

Sorry about the posting black out, preparations for the 1812 Battle of York Bi-Centennial Commemoration were taking up most of my time but I am once again returned to the 21st century and ready to resume posting!  I was on honour guard duty for the event and not able to take many pictures but what few I did will be making it up shortly.  If you would like to see more from the event do a flickr search or follow this link: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Battle%20of%20York

They call me MR. Tripod!

I just got back from Burlington Camera and I have $300 worth of tripods put aside for me. How many tripods does $300 buy you these days? Two and a half :P I am very fond of the big "Pan and Tilt" heads from Manfrotto and I will accept nothing less for my upcoming 4x5 kit. Pictures and details will be forth coming when I buy the gear in 3 weeks.

100 Days of Summer

Hello my photography people!  After a long absence I am on summer break from school and I intend to keep this blog thing up for the next few months!  -cue fanfare for my triumphant return to the blogosphere-

As the title suggests, there are 100 days to go in my summer, discounting weekends, and I am committing to make a post at least 5 times a week for these 100 days.  Hopefully by the end of this I will have this blog more in my routine schedule and I will continue into the school year.  But in the short time what, humble reader, does that mean for you?
For starters, you can continue to come here for a link to the latest stuff I have up on Flickr.  I'm not sure if I can do a photo a day, but I do have a long backlog to get through which will keep flickr busy for a while.
Also you can look forward to the return of my "Philosophy Wednesday" segment, joined by a couple of new ones like  "100 Photographers that are Worth Your Time," "Polaroids from Last Night," and when my 4x5 rig gets up and running (read, delivered) "Weekly Large Format Roundup."
There are a great many other one-off posts that I am excited to get to, like the FPP Findlay Workshop 2013 recap, "What's in your Bag?" and its companion post "What's in your Darkroom?", "Report from the Front!" where I'll keep you posted on this years 1812 re-enactment season, and many more I am sure.

Anyways, enough time in cyberspace, it's time I started shooting!  Tune in every weekday (and maybe even a couple weekends if you're lucky)!
