Very soon I will be developing and printing my photographs from the pictures I take with the Pentax 645. I also will be developing some large format film for my friend Peter Boysen, as he has a large format camera to shoot with. I’m sure I will have some lovely photos for you all very soon.

I will mostly be shooting in black and white, using Fuji NeoPan 400ISO film, but because I was anxious to use the camera yesterday, I grabbed a roll of Kodak Porta 160nc (color) to start with. To get a feel camera, I set it up in my studio and shot some self-portraits using the help of my friend Alyson, because the Pentax doesn’t have a timed shutter release. I used a lighting angle similar to one that my friend Peter likes to use, and the 55mm for a little bit of a wide angle feel. I’ll have to get my film developed before you or I get to see them, but they should turn out well.

Here are some decent test shots that I took with my 20D, just to give you a taste.
  

Expect many more to come!

Not exactly sure of the ownership of this picture… My friend Peter Boysen may have taken it…
  




And finaly…the masterpiece.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 decided to dump all my RSS feeds…which does not thrill me…
No worries…Apple’s “Mail” app, which comes with their latest operating system Leopard, can do the same thing now…and it works phenomenally with Microsoft Exchange.

Say goodbye to yet another Microsoft Product. I look forrward to the day when I won’t work for a company that uses Microsoft Exchange.

So now that I have all my feeds setup in Mail 3.0, I thought I’d share them with you all…
