I’m not a snow hater, but I wouldn’t mind some warmer weather and pretty colors like this.  It’s all part of living in good ol’ Michigan 🙂

An image from 2009 taken of a sweet house near Balboa Pear in the OC.  The color and tonality is my “Velvia 50” preset, although there’s nothing like the real thing 😉

I’m sure you’ve probably already heard that Radiohead announced a new album was coming and then released it in less than a week and it not…they did 😉  Their previous album, In Rainbows, isone of my all time favorite albums and I have literally listened to it hundreds of times over the past few years.  The King of Limbs, is their follow up album and it was made available a day early, so I snatched it up as soon as I could.  I am currently enjoying my third listen 🙂  If you are a Radiohead fan (of course) OR are just a person who can appreciate great conceptual music regardless of personal taste, give it a listen…they definitely deliver.

Here’s “Lotus Flower”, the fifth song on the album.

UPDATE: EVERYTHING HAS FOUND A GOOD HOME 🙂

I have a couple Mamiya 645 cameras and a few Mamiya lenses for sale.  I am selling them, because they don’t get used.  All gear is in EX+ condition according to KEH standards. If you know KEH’s conservative condition ratings, you know that means these are in great condition with very little signs of use.  All gear is in 100% perfect working condition.  Here is a list of everything I am selling.

Mamiya 645, Mamiya 645 Pro, Mamiya 645AF, Mamiya 80 f/1.9, Mamiya Camera, Mamiya Lens

•Mamiya 645AF | This is Mamiya’s first 645 camera with autofocus.  Included is the body, a back with one 120/220 insert, the dark slide, 80 f/2.8AF lense, lens hood, and front lens cap.  This camera was a direct competitor to the infamous Contax 645 and is a breeze to use.

SOLD!

Mamiya 80 f/1.9 N (x2) and Mamiya 80 f/1.9 C | Simply put, the fastest medium format lens ever made, which provides an amazing look.  I have front and rear lens caps for each lens.  Click HERE to see a session shot with this lens mostly wide open. I love this lens so much, I bought two of them, which are in identical condition…I have to look at the serial numbers to know which is which, but they perform the same.  I have one Mamiya collapsable rubber hood for this lens as well.  The hood definitely helps cut down extraneous light in certain shooting conditions.  The difference between the 80 f/1.9 C and N, besides the different look physically to the lens is the coating.  The N is coated and the C is not.  Due to no coating, the 80 f/1.9 C tends to have about 10-15% less contrast…still a great lens, just an older design.
