Roll-166 (Hasselblad 500C/M. HP5)
I brought the Hasselblad to my parents house while my daughter and grandson were visiting. I underexposed the roll a bit, but the hit rate was better than expected. I love this one of my sister and Lincoln.

My 20-year anniversary with Flickr
I posted the above photo to Flickr 20 years ago today. It was my first. Flickr remains the best place to upload photos. I just wish it was still the best option for sharing them.
Photo Mechanic in 2024
Photo Mechanic is the fastest, most powerful tool for ingesting/browsing/exporting photos. It’s always been a little expensive, but I’ve had a license for many years.
Before 2024, I could buy a license and use it until the next version came out. I paid $90 to upgrade
A separate wiki for cameras
Most of the information I’ve written down about my cameras is either on my wiki or in random blog posts. I’ve decided to try and consolidate things in a new, separate wiki (using TiddlyWiki). It was trivial to drag and drop my original camera notes from the main
How I'm using Lightroom
Lightroom it is. After a long period using Capture One, then a shorter period using Lightroom Classic (LrC), I’m once again trying the new Lightroom.

Roll-153 (Nikon FM2n/HP5)
This is the first roll (of HP5) from my new Nikon FM2n. I'll have more to say about the camera once I get used to it.
Roll-152 (Leica MP/HP5)
The last few rolls from the MP have been pushed to 800, and I'm finding that I like them just fine. It's mostly an indoor camera, so I can use all the speed I can get.
This roll didn't have anything great, but anything
Roll-151 (Hasselblad/Portra)
I am still working through the bag of expired film in the fridge. This is a roll of Portra 400 that expired in 2014.
It seems the Hasselblad has a couple of issues. First, both sides of each frame show a minor light leak. Second, my exposures seem underexposed by
Botched a roll of Portra
I botched a roll of film while processing yesterday. After the pre-wash step, instead of emptying the water from the JOBO tank, I just poured the developer in with it. This of course diluted the developer. I thought it was odd that some of the dev ran out of the
Lightroom (Classic)...again
I switched from using Lightroom Classic (LrC) to Capture One Pro (C1) "for good" back in 2021. It wasn't because of Adobe's subscription model, or because I had some vague aversion to Adobe, the company. It was because I felt like I was getting
