Larry Hayden (my visitor from a couple of weeks ago) finally got into the darkroom and made some prints. http://www.larrydhayden.com/ He has just started a photo essay about the Field Lab. I'm really looking forward to his return for more images.
The How To for the camera panning mechanism met a major snag today. Sourcing my parts, I found that the gear motor gizmo I'm using was out of stock....ahhh, the dark side of surplus. Will come up with some alternates soon I hope. For over 10 years, my absolute favorite weird place to shop from is American Science and Surplus. http://www.sciplus.com/ I love the descriptions of their stuff for sale (it is worth getting on their catalog mailing list just to see it in print) and they keep coming up with items that I seem to "need".
Been keeping an eye on my site meter this week - having just crossed the 400,000 visit mark. Someone from 75.1.104.76 in Dallas performed page view 1,000,000 at 8:26:17 this morning. I think someone deserves a prize. 82,86,65,0,B

NICE PHOTO!
John,
I know you have zillions of followers, but we are two that visited you a few months ago and follow you from the Dallas area. I don't have a clue if it was us. Our prize was visiting you and Benita.
Go to http://www.whatismyip.com to determine your IP address.
Hey John, Thanks for the kind words. Looking forward to coming back as well.
Sent you a few more images tonight. Hopefully you got them this time. Let me know if you didn't.
Wonderful photo! Congrats on hitting a million. I give your web address to everybody I meet...and they always get back to me to say they love your blog.
It's me! How do I collect my prize? Steve in Dallas.
Cool photo, nice to see film is not dead yet. Is the selective focus a darkroom effect or in-camera?
Hi @ delgrego,
Thanks for the comments.
It's film and a large format camera. I purposely racked out the focus on the sides in camera to concentrate on John in his doorway. I have some straight focus images but this one was the best of the 6 or 7 images I made that day.
Thanks for the info, Larry. I've been enjoying the photos on your site. There's something really satisfying about shooting on film and processing and printing it yourself. I haven't done it in years and I miss it. One of the benefits of the digital age is that now you can get very high quality film gear for much much cheaper than you could have just a few years ago.
Dallas....send me an email with you mailing address - prize to come.
Some great links on this post.
Excellent photo, John!
No hay nada más bonito que una foto en blanco y negro.
