New Years Photography Resolutions 2013


Getting Back in the Saddle again in regards to shows and gallery submissions.  Easier now that the Dark room is done.  And yes I did just barely get to print something in the darkroom before the end of the year!

That was my number one resolution for 2012.  So how did I do with the rest?
  • Darkroom done and first prints made (as Christmas Presents).
  • I got the SRT-101
  • Participated in Worldwide Pinhole Day and got inspired to do more pinhole work-but decided not to invest in a 4X5 Pinhole camera.
But:
  • No Progress on the Family Project- I need to build a UV light box.  No longer inspired by true sun printing; it is just to hard to calibrate.
  • Missed the Winter Solstice Solargram opportunity, but still hopeful of catching the Spring Equinox?
  • Somehow have misplaced my slides from Norway and Africa.  Where are they?  Sundays Overseas will return once I find them.
  • Not so interested in 4X5 Camera, which is odd now that I have a professional grade 4X5 enlarger;  Go figure!
Not on the list but certainly accomplishments:
  • Congratulations to Bill M who won the Calendar Sweepstakes!
  • Calendar 2013 Completed and Distributed.
  • Christmas Road Trip producing tons of photography to share in the coming year
Upcoming for 2013 and Beyond:
  • Print, Print, Print in the Darkroom!
  • Build the UV Lightbox
  • Find those Africa and Norway Slides!
  • Play with More Caffenol
  • Test drive a Graflex Speed Graphic Camera.  Donald thinks he wants one and a friend has one that we can try.  Apparently alfred Steiglitz used a Graflex.
  • Still Planning (i.e. saving up) for the Mamiya 6X7 Panorama Camera.
And I received the perfect Christmas Gift for a Camera Nerd:


 Featuring the George Eastman House Collection

  1. Nice book.

    I gave up on resolutions. I do hope to shoot more film in 2013 though, and maybe even finish my Eastman View-II.

    It is a great book! Basically a catalog of the George Eastman Collection. How did Kodak go so wrong?

  3. Wow, that book is now on the wishlist! I also hope to shoot more film in 2013, but just getting out and actually shooting would be just as good. Love your blog!

  4. The book was a wonderful surprise. Speaking of film, I now have a backlog of about 15 rolls to develope since the trip. I'd better get started on that!
