Photogs: Those who take 'em and those who love 'em

last night was my first burlesque show. the space was really small, the audience fairly drunk, and i had too much lens for the space i was in. however, i gave it a go.

images here, if anyone is interested.

I use a lovely old Siggy 28 f2.8 which handles macro fairly well. The Nikkor 35 f1.4 is just dreamy, I wish it had autofocus.

Don't forget that a 50mm on a film camera is a 75mm on a digital.

just made a deal with a guy to buy his sigma 70-200mm f2.8. says he's only had it 3 months and doesn't use it much at all. i'm super excited.

this means i'll be able to use my own gear to shoot the burlesque brunch this coming sunday! yay!

Any other visual artists, photo junkies, and hobbiests willing to admit any amount of growing addiction to instagram?

I started instagram quite critical of the prepackaged filters that allowed folks with little sense of composition to make a trendy shot. Now though, I find that I'm not only enjoying posting my own shots, but following a few artists I admire, as well as friends and family who use the app.

And for those fortunate souls who don't use instagram, I share my instagrid (a website that displays your instagrams). shameless plug - my photo feed

Recently, I've been keen on the idea of setting up instacanvas to offer for sale some of my better shots. Anyone try this yet? Feedback?

i think ash has some stuff up on instacanvas, if memory serves. you could touch base with him and see what he has to say.
