walkabout street and portrait photographer
I’ve been shooting paper negatives for the last few weeks and having a lot of fun doing it.
A paper negative is Ilford photographic paper as the camera’s film. That’s right, the same stuff used to make enlargements from Black & White film negatives. I’m currently using Ilford MGIV Multigrade IV RC De Luxe paper. Continue reading “Paper Negatives”
I had so much fun going walkabout with my darling spouse and my Nikon D7000 with 35mm lens, that we ventured over to Fort Worth for a little antique shopping. The good news is that we saw lots of stuff. The better news is that we did not buy anything other than lunch. Continue reading “Antique Shopping in Fort Worth with my Nikon D7000 and 35mm Lens”
Just in time for Mother’s Day, I am thinking about mom with a photo that I took of her in 2007. Mom is holding a sign that reserved her parking space on the US Air Force base. Alas, mom did not have any car to drive that day. Just her luck. Love you, mom.
The family and I spent the Labor Day weekend in Galveston, Texas. It was a delightful four day weekend starting on Friday, August 31, 2012. We drove down U.S. Interstate Highway 45 from Dallas to through Houston. Continue reading “Labor Day Weekend in Galvestion, Texas”
I’m in the process of packing for my trips to Kansas City and Washington, D. C. I purchased a new bag from Competitive Cameras in Dallas. It’s a LowePro Nova 200. It has room for my Nikon plus four Holgas and lots of film. I only wish I had a compact tripod.

Dick Dale and his son, Jimmy Dale, put on a great performance last night at the Dallas Museum of Art for their Summer Block Party. The concert was held in the Ross Avenue Plaza at the north end of the museum. It wasn’t standing room only, but the place sure was packed.
Dick Dale and Jimmy played an hour long set of only acoustic guitars. Wow! They can really make those string sing. They started out with Ghost Riders in the Sky and ended with Miserlou and a new song, which sounds really cool.
Tonight I will be attending the Summer Block Party at the Dallas Museum of Art. My main objective is to see legendary guitarist Dick Dale, who will be performing in the Ross Ave. Plaza.
For those that don’t know, Dick Dale is most famous for his song Miserlou, which is the opening song for the movie Pulp Fiction.
Not sure if I can manage a Holga. I’ll be taking DART downtown with a LL Bean folding chair. I definitely want to take my Nikon with my 300mm lens. Too many cameras, so few hands.
See you after the concert.
