Time to update my giant list of film-photo blogs
Hi everybody! Every August I post an updated list of all the film-photography blogs that I know about. It’s meant to be a service to the whole film community. This year I’d like to ask you in advance if you publish a film-photography blog that has escaped my notice. First, check through last year’s list…

Oops.
I meant to schedule post about autumn color in the suburbs to go live on December 10. This happens to me every once in a while — I forget to set the schedule before I hit the Publish button. I wish WordPress had an “Are you sure?” prompt when you do that. Now I have…

Sale price on my two photo books
I’ve reduced the price of my two photo books. Each is now available for just $12.99. I published both of these books through Blurb.com, which takes a huge cut. At this price, I’m making only a couple bucks per book. I just want to put more copies into peoples’ hands, as both books are lovely…

An experiment in camera reviews
I’m trying an experiment today: I updated a camera review from many years ago and republished it as new today. It’s the post immediately before this one. I’ve added a redirect on the old URL so searches come to the new review. So many of my reviews are very old — the first one on…

Remembering Richard M. Simpson
In the last few years, my road-trip posts have increasingly relied on original research done by Richard M. Simpson, which he shared on his terrific Indiana Transportation History blog. We lost Richard on Friday. I don’t know any details, but given that he posted in his blog and in the companion Indiana Transportation History Facebook…

It’s 127 Day
Because it’s December 7th, 12/7, it’s 127 Day. That’s a day to get out our cameras for 127 film and use them! Today I’ve put that roll of film above (expired 12/1981) into the camera below. I’ll take a photo walk with it today and shoot the whole roll. It’s cold here, about freezing, and…

Typography update
Unless you are a total typography geek, you might not have noticed a change in this blog’s type today. Because of some behind-the-scenes changes at WordPress.com, I needed to change font this blog uses for its title, its post titles, and its headings. The old font was called Jubilat, and the new font is called…
