It’s time you found out about a little dirty secret — photography has been a hobby I’ve been quite dedicated to for about two years now. In fact, when it came to selling my equipment months ago prior to moving here to Toronto the decision needed to be made whether I will be bringing most of my photo or audio gear. I ended up selling (waa) my Juno-106, the 16-track Fostex tape machine, the mixing board, and almost all of the microphones and remaining audio gear. Granted, audio gear is much heavier than photo, plus I did sell some of my vintage film cameras like the (waaa) Yashicamat. But the choice has been made.
Now, over the past 2 years I’ve been uploading new work to my Flickr account on a fairly regular basis, and the involvement with all things photo, especially film and Polaroid cameras, has been steadily growing since day 1. For the longest time I tried to resist the desire to merge interests wishing to keep it strictly about audio and full of useful information and not turning this into an ‘everything’ blog where I talk about personal nonsense. But, as it stands, the limited amount of free time on my part doesn’t allow for a full-featured well-updated audio-only weblog I’d like this to be. And today I just kind of came to the realization that this is my blog anyway, so I can do whatever the fuck I want.
So, what does this mean to you? More pictures, same amount of audio info. Some camera talk, perhaps. Oh my, will you hear me bitching about the death of Polaroid! And some photography tips and news too; audio nerds — learn how to apply lame Photoshop filters and add light saber effects!
