I decided before I clicked the link it was either going to be old barns or corn fields. I wasn't completely right, it was grain elevators and wheat (I think?) with a bunch of rusty cars, but I was in the ballpark. Not to say they aren't nice photos, they are. But the flyover regions of NA produce some very similar scenes.

The rust belt in the USA has some god damned amazing abandoned residential areas though.

Ain't nobody else gonna give a poo poo, but I finally finished scanning all the MF I shot on my roadtrip across America in 2011 (pushed through the last 18 rolls in the last two days). Most still needs to be processed, but man I am glad to get that done. Still have 29 rolls from the last three years in Japan, and whatever else is hiding elsewhere, but I'm down from 83 known rolls of unscanned material.

I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 rolls (135 and 120) in my freezer that really, REALLY need to get developed. No more excuses! THEN I can procrastinate scanning. And editing. And uploading.

No more excuses! Aww, thanks! I just finished scanning my last roll of that Japan stuff (29 rolls in two days, think I can hear my V750 in my dreams)... or rather, the last roll I had catalogued that needed scanning. I just cracked open my my binder/workbox thing I thought was mostly empty and found... 8 more rolls of Japan stuff still in the sleeves from the shop, and another two from that 2011 trip, just floating around on top of everything and for some mysterious reason not resleeved into Printfile pages and with everything else. Looking through it, found at least another two to three solid days of scanning grunt work. When I had a bunch of B&W stuff to develop, I just set a quota of ~6 rolls a week that I'd do after I got home from work. I'd try and pre-load the tank the night before (kinda had to anyways, since my darkroom wasn't entirely light-tight) and leave it in the kitchen so I'd see if when I came in.

I should do this. I don't have a darkroom, I just use a dark bag, but this is a good idea. Load before bed, develop 20 hours later.

I stumbled in to one of his galleries the best part of a decade ago, not knowing he he was. There was something seductive about brightly lit colours in a dark room. But looking at his website, it now comes across as some terrible vomit inducing HDR.

I think I asked what kind of camera he used and they said he had a special 36MP camera. I thought the slot canyon stuff was amazing, I'd never seen slot canyon photos before. That's it that's my Peter Lik story.

Peter Lik is the Thomas Kinkade of photography. Except Kinkade is more of a badass because no amount of cut-off sleeves will equal pissing on Winnie the Pooh.

I saw that my local Best Buy had an X-T1 in stock so I went over there to fiddle with it since I've been itching to seen what the EVF looks like. Apparently my Best Buy has totally redone their camera section such that it contains cameras and lenses beyond the typical big box store fare. I didn't have time to thoroughly take stock of what they've got but I saw a case of just about every modern Nikon lens up to the 80-400 I believe. The camera section dude offered to take any lens out of the case for me to play with that I wanted (then he pulled out a 24-70 2.8, I didn't realize those things were such monsters). I was also able to check out the X-T1. Sadly, they didn't have an X100T, which is what I really wanted to play with but it is pretty awesome that they have so much stuff now.

The last time I went to a Best Buy they had something like that for the Samsung NX3000, and then in the corner they had a Canon T3 and a NEX-3N set up on a beaten up display.

My local ones are pretty cool about letting you bring in some camera gear to test in bags since they usually have a ton of them.
