Well, this is awkweird! (Mail down)

About ten years ago I had a domain idea I was expirimenting with: Photohansa.com. I thought I'd take photos of ships and license them as stock. That idea fell by the wayside. However, I used Google Workspace, or Gsuite as it was called back then I think to test. Well, a few days ago, Google Workspace appears to have taken over the settings on my Google Domains. But I don't have an active Google Workspace account to administer it. So I haven't been able to get my settings back. It's been a couple days and support has been no help. ???

Xray Film, Ringlights and Flowers

snapshot of 8x10 negative At my school darkroom where I work I came in on my day off to play. I've had an idea of something I've wanted to try for a long time. The idea would take a few things I can't easily put together. Patience, time, room to photograph, and room to develop right next door. Yesterday the stars aligned. Here's the deal. Xray film is cheap. It has a unique look due to it's orthochromatic character. Ortho films aren't sensitive to red light. So two factors should be clear: you can develop under a red safelight, kinda like paper. And that any red in your motiv will be rendered dark. I recently bought a beautiful Componon-S factory mounted in a shutter from a friend. Normally lenses of this sort are used for enlarging. But such lenses are also well suited for closeups. This lens has a 49mm filter thread, and I have the adapter to my cheap Vivitar ring flash. What I ended up doing was setting up two large format cameras: a 4x5 and...

The End of Covid .... well sorta

Well the Covid restrictions are dying down here in the US at least. And as such I'm out and about photographing again. Here are a few photos from my latest foray out and about in Silicon Valley: Here's a then and now shot: the Uber self driving "garage" in SF was taken in 2016, the Google "garage" in 2021. Both photos were taken just a few feet apart from one another. My suspicion is that Google bought out the Uber location and knocked out the walls. Uber's Self Driving "Garage" in 2016 Google's San Francisco "Garage" right next door in 2021 Some other self driving car observations: Chinese company WeRide self driving vehicle spotted on the Streets of Silicon Valley Hyundai testing at Pony.ai Pony.ai testing Hyundai on the Streets of Silicon Valley Nvidia Testing a Ford Fusion on the Streets of Silicon Valley And lastly, here's a few photos of Apple's Project Titan: Apple's Self Driving Car Testing on the Streets o...
