On the Rocks
There is something really nice about the low fog morning in the Marin Headlands. I started to run out of hard drive space, so have been going through the image catalog and finding stuff to delete. This is often a fun activity because I find pictures that I have not even looked at yet....
like this one.

Opinions on using Canon TC 2X III on the 70-200 2.8 MK II?
What do people think about this combination? How does it compare to using using the 100-400? Any other comments/thought appreciated - thanks!

My morning commute often involves going for a quick peek at the Golden Gate Bridge to see how the weather is shaping up for the day. Here is Monday's ride:
I gotta say, biking to work is a great thing ... besides all the money I save (I have done the calcuations - more than a new camera body every year), by some estimates my commute burns about 50 lbs. per year. That means I get to eat and drink more - woohoo!!!

Back in March, +Joe Azure, +Casey McCallister, +Maximilian Laue and myself headed up the coast to Bowling Ball Beach and caught a really awesome sunset. You have seen the images, now see the timelapse!
Be on the lookout for Casey doing cartwheels :)
3 cool looking images at the end of the video, so don't turn it off!
Oh, and sorry you can't view this on mobile...I guess YouTube put a leash on me for using a Led Zeppelin song. But, it's Zeppelin, how could I not? And given the bands history with fish, an ocean timelapse seemed appropriate.

Looking for Crack
I had to go down the coast in the middle of the day to find some crack. This spot fit the bill nicely :)
On an unrelated note - lots of change lately in the photo-sharing sites ... personally I love change. Sometimes it's not all perfect, but if things did not change we would still be stuck with the old MySpace, Orkut, and the like. Either way - change always seems to bring out haters and complainers - which can be a good thing too :)

Sunrise over a sea fog. Well, I am actually looking away from the sunrise in this shot, but the light was so nice I could not resist.
I am still getting used to the new interface... the steps for adding it to this album and sharing it have changed slightly, but I think I have it figured out. I have to say - images look spectacular in the new interface in my opinion!

Google+ Update: Feature - Album Ordering!
So far this may be my favorite feature yet (granted, I am just getting started on the new UI). To get to it:
- Open any album in your Photos->Albums page
- Select 'Organize'
- Drag the images into the order you wish them to appear (you can also have them order for you by date or name... or even reverse the order)
- Press Done (you may have to refresh the Album view to se your new order)
Voila! Now anyone viewing your album (includes slideshow), wil see it in the new order!

So much truth in this....
+David duChemin has a new blog post: http://davidduchemin.com/2013/05/the-magic-wand/
"I've been saying for years that there is no magic wand. I was wrong. There is. It's making photographs. Thousands and thousands of photographs. It's being honest with ourselves and not trying to be someone else."
Go read it ... it is chock full of wisdom in my opinion .... I try to think about these things every time I start to feel gear lust creeping into my mind :)

Burn Baby Burn
If things are bleak and grey at home - it means that it is time to hit the coast and find a "hole in the fog" :) Sometimes we are more successful than others, but an adventure is always a good thing! And it gives me opportunities to shoot seascapes, which are a favorite of mine (I do take pictures or more things than a bridge).
I heard there is a big photowalk in a couple of days here in San Francisco, hosted by +Thomas Hawk +Trey Ratcliff (see the event page here: https://plus.google.com/events/cm6l1qj16ktg9f8sv69ep7b2rhk). I hope that I can get on the invite list and they will let me go! ;) It would be great to get out and meet a whole bunch of new people :)

Almost 76...
A year ago last May, here in San Francisco, we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. The end of that fun-filled weekend was marked by a great fireworks show over (and under) this iconic landmark.
I was at this exact location today, shooting a few pictures of the fog, and thinking about that great evening spent with friends ( +Thomas Hawk +Jonathan Goody +Kirsten Hrobsky +Sly Vegas +Amy Heiden +Charli Blake +Julia Peterson (thanks for the pizza and wine!!!) +Rob Dweck - hope I didn't miss anyone). I wish I saw each of you more often!!
Anyway ... I decided to come home and edit my second image from that event - here it is :)
I was reminded of this day while looking through the new +Plus One Collection book that was delivered to my door this past week (it includes an image of mine from this special night).... more »

Hot Spot
-San Francisco Bay Bridge
A few nights ago I took my friend +Brian Matiash up to this little spot over the Bay Bridge to shoot a few pictures. It was a nice night to be outside for sure. I am looking forward to getting out and shooting a little bit this weekend - have some ideas I want to work on :)

A Beacon's Vendetta
Processed using one of my new Lightroom presets - I am going to call this one either "Gotbacon" or "A Boy and his dog".
Either way, this was the view from one of my evening walks this winter. I think I walked from the Bay Bridge, to the top of the Marin Headlands, and back because it feels good to walk. I highly recommend getting out and exercising as much as possible. The more energy you spend, the more you have :) See you out there!!!

How much editing does it take?
Sometimes it doesn't take any... I almost never post anything #sooc (straight out of the camera), because I wonder why would anyone post something that was not as good as it could be! (photo-journalism not withstanding)...
I am putting together slides for a presentation I am giving tomorrow at UCSF, and thought this was a good example of capturing a high dynamic range in the camera (with the use of filters). Whenever I do get around to processing this, it will be pretty sweet :)

Rock The Horizon
- San Francisco, California
When I first presented this image to some friends of mine, one the responses I heard was ... "but you broke the rule of thirds! It would be better if you move the horizon up or down to the line of thirds."
Did I break the rule of thirds? In fact - is it even a rule? I don't think so - just a guideline which can be used however I see fit.
My response was something along the lines of:
"What do you mean - I think I divided up the visual weight of the elements into thirds very well" Keep in mind we were talking over beers :)

Last weekend found a few of us (+Casey McCallister, +Michael Bonocore and +Natalia Stone) headed up to Shasta County for a quick road trip before the weather gets too hot up there. I had not been up there to photograph before, but luckily my friend +Brian Rueb was kind enough to point us in a few directions to find interesting things to shoot ... this area is his back yard :) Unfortunately he could not join us since he is always busy teaching workshops with +Aperture Academy (check them out if you are thinking about taking any landscape workshops - I highly recommend them :) )

I enjoy taking trips with others for sure ... when I look through my portfolio, I think my best images are mostly shot when I am alone. Not only are they more unique, but I think I do a better job with all of the little the "details"!
I do like the "social" outings though - I just usually don't get very much photography done ... lol :) How about you?

DuPage County Officials: Voter Turnout on Par with Previous Elections
No major issues were reported as of 4 p.m., according to Bob Saar, executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission.
As DuPage County enters its final hours of voting, election officials said they are expecting turnout to reach levels seen in the last three presidential elections. "We checked in with polling places around 2 p.m., and from what we can tell turnout was around 55 percent," said Bob Saar, executive director of the DuPage County Election Commission. In previous general elections, the voter turnout in DuPage County ranged from 74 to 77 percent, Saar said. "We're still expecting the after-work crowd, so there's no reason to believe we won't reach that level—or maybe even exceed—by the time the polls close," he said. Prior to Tuesday, about 80,000 DuPage County residents had taken part in early voting, Saar said. Counting absentee, military and …

Psychedelic Guitars
CD (Item 600919) Custom/Ace (UK), Late 60s — Condition: New Copy
Rare late 60s work from guitar genius Jerry Cole – and even more compelling than his famous records from earlier in the decade! This collection unearths a lost side of Jerry's career – tripped-out psych instrumentals from 1967 and 1968, recorded under a variety of different aliases – like The Generation Gap, Projection Company, Stone Canyon Rock Group, and T-Swift & The Electric Bag – all groups that didn't exist in real life, but were album-based studio projects by Cole! Jerry's brought a lot more fuzz to the sessions than on his surf and hot rod instrumental tracks – but the groove is mighty tight throughout, with almost a funky undercurrent to some of the best tracks – kind of an American equivalent to the UK freakbeat modes of the period, served up by Cole and a host of tight LA studio musicians. Great stuff throughout – all pulled from the Custom Records catalog – and titles include "Tune Out Of Place", "Fool's Luck", "Wild Times", "Hard Times", "What's Your Bag", "Our Man Hendrix", "Red Eyes", "I Love You I Do", "Expo In Sound", and "The Stinger". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Re: Reggae Covers Of Famous Songs
Re: Reggae Covers Of Famous Songs
here is a real stinker:
the Immortals (whoever they are) on Augustus Pablo Presents Rockers Story covering A World Without Love - a hit by Peter and Gordon on 1964 (written by Paul McCrapney - lord help us). in a rare moment of unrootsiness I suggest that the original is better though I havent heard it in years.
Now why is it that when I type an apostrophe the webpage goes nuts?
@Jason Allen - must check Millers cover of the Stylistics.
Re: Reggae Covers Of Famous Songs
Burning Spear - Estimated Prophet. An early '90s cover of a grateful dead song. Perfect lyrics for Spear and a very nice track over all. On the "Mek we Dweet" album.
Re: Reggae Covers Of Famous Songs
It is no big secret that American soul/ R&B had a great influence on JAmaican reggae music!! Here are two very nicely produced cover tunes by Reggae artists we all know and love, both tunes early 80's stylee...
Carlton Livingston's "Second that emotion" (Live & Learn Disco 12") is a beautiful version of Smokey Robinson's classic. Great horns version on Flip!
Junior "Bird" Moore (Tamlins) did a great cover of Curtis Mayfield's classic "You must believe me" (Masai Disco 12") well worth listening to. Plus another very nice Horns version on flip

Shoes for Mary Jane
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Suzy just purchased sweet "Mary Jane's" for her 5-year-old daughters. Once upon a time, these classics were for young girls...but Mary Jane has grown up and the fashionistas say it's time for you to strap on a pair of your own this fall!
Pick your fashion price tag:
For the rebirth of the chunky heeled "Mary Jane" shoe, go for Bettye Muller at Nordstrom for $398 or Steve Madden's take on the old-fashion girlie dress-up shoe. $89.95.
And, for the Suzy set who has arches that aren't what they used to be, Suzy checked out what Aerosoles has to offer ($89). Cha cha cha! These are great looking (and feeling)!

Who should make my next concertina?
Posted 20 March 2012 - 05:01 PM
- It's not as loud as I'd like for outdoor playing, exacerbated of course by the fact that I'm only squeezing it with the (limited) strength of one arm instead of two.
- It only goes down to middle C, I'd like to be able to go at least a fourth lower, and preferably two octaves above, i.e. the range of a violin in first position.
- The Crane system's been good to me but I'd like to be able to play runs in thirds more fluently.
So what I want is a metal-ended MacCann. I'd like a custom-made one, for a number of reasons. The MacCann system is slightly optimized for the right hand, I'd like a mirror-image one so that my left hand would be doing what the right hand of a two-handed player does. I'm confident I can adapt to the MacCann system, and I'm aware of all the other systems and happy with my choice. But a couple of questions remain:
1. Instruments with many buttons per side that I played in my two-handed days seemed to be less expressive than smaller ones. Have others found this? It would influence how many buttons I should go for if I had to balance range against expression.
2. Who should I ask to make it? Among the makers I know of who will undertake custom jobs it seems that Wakker is a good fit. Their work's very impressive, but I'm in the UK and would have to pay import duty. I don't mind doing this in principle, but it seems that one can't predict in advance how much it'll be, which makes planning hard. Or am I mistaken? In any case, would you recommend another maker?
Any suggestions?
Posted 20 March 2012 - 06:37 PM
Posted 20 March 2012 - 06:44 PM
Given you are in the UK, why would you not go to Colin and Rosalie Dipper, given they are the most versatile makers anyway?
Posted 20 March 2012 - 08:00 PM
You can have greater control over a smaller concertina because of lbs per sq inch. For the same hand pressure you get more internal pressure or relative vacumm than in a larger one. This translates into an ability to acheive more attack when required and also allows more sublety with the fingers because the hand is not having to deliver so much force, using the limited resources in delivering pressure.
Given you are in the UK, why would you not go to Colin and Rosalie Dipper, given they are the most versatile makers anyway?
Not my experience at all. As I have moved up in duet sizes, and I own or have owned nearly all the std maccan sizes, it seems to me that I have positively more control over the subtler nuances with the larger sizes. Only with the 81 do I get the feeling of taking a step backwards and needing to put my shoulder into it a bit. This may be just me, but I've certainly never thought of reaching for a smaller instrument for its subtelty. And I can make a hell of a racket with even the 81 if I want.
The other thing with a big cross section is much better air reserves, thus how loud and long you play can be based more on musical considerations, not physical limits. This is worth a lot to me; perhaps less of a consideration if you are only using one fist's worth of notes at a time.
Posted 20 March 2012 - 08:39 PM
it could be you are strong enough to overcome the effect I describe until the 81, or that you do not push your instrument to the edge of its attack capacity ie.play very fast music in sessions, or that your smaller instruments are of lesser reed quality than your larger ones. The air supply thing is enviable...
Posted 20 March 2012 - 11:22 PM
Well I think that's exactly the case, but I would expect most people could. Maybe they don't go to my preferred size 72 (or 39 here; RHS of it only), maybe they stop at 67. (62 is the same bellows X section anyway.) but I think you overestimate the power needed to control it. You (I) don't hit limits, you just work harder instead. The 81 can make me pour with sweat on a warm day pulling big chords FF, but never with the 72.Dirge,
it could be you are strong enough to overcome the effect I describe until the 81.
Remember we're not talking Anglos here; you don't expect to change bellows direction until the phrasing allows it naturally.
Posted 21 March 2012 - 03:52 AM
In Jeffries anglos of "standard" size (around 6" across the flats) a 46 or 50 button instrument will sound more constrained than a 38 or 32 button instrument. The volume will be comparable, but the sound is somewhat thinner in the larger instrument which may limit the amount of expression you can get into it. Is this because there's less air mobilised by the reed in the chamber?
I'm not sure if the same is true in Wheatstones with the radial reedpans; I've never been able to compare instrments of the same size with 32, 36, 40 or more buttons.
If you're getting a custom instrument built, you have the opportunity to optimise chamber size per reed and overall size of instrument to get the sound quality you're looking for I'd reckon. However, the sound outcome might be even less predictable than the price.
As a moris musician, it's laudable that you're trying to maximise expression, but that's usually low down the list of priorities!

One is a standard Wheatstone Aeola 57key 7.5" across flats and the other is a lachenal New Model 55keys but starting at C on the right hand side and it is 6.5" across flats. Both have metal ends. It should be possible to draw some conclusions in a similar way to those of Alex. Reed chamber sizes, reed lengths and all that being different.. but this would be inconclusive for two reasons... firstly different makers with different ideas about the wood used, the steel used for the reeds etc etc and secondly one is in a played-in state and the other freshly dug out of Grandma's attic.
I do agree that size is important with regard to accessible dynamics and when all things are equal the smaller instruments are quicker to respond to changes in applied force. Having said that the larger instruments are more controlable in the subtleties of their dynamic range albeit with greater amounts of strength needed at the Forte end.
I would think that with the range of keyboard you are looking for Waltham, the instrument would not need to be over large.
It would also appear that you will not have much choice of maker for this instrument, or will any of us desiring a 'special'.
Good luck with your quest ,

Looks like you are a very deserving case but even for the rest of us the outlook is sparse in the field of makers of anything else but Anglos.

Twenty years ago I held (and played) a Dipper Hayden duet. Dickinson, of course, also does Haydens. I don't see why either shouldn't be able to do a one-handed Maccann. But neither will be inexpensive or quick.I hadn't considered the Dippers only because ... they only did Anglos.

How many buttons?At the moment I play the right-hand end of a Lachenal Crane with my left hand....
That range would require 31 buttons (not counting optional air button). My New Model Crane has 30 buttons in the right hand -- range from middle C up to F nearly "2½" octaves higher, -- and it's 6-3/4 inches (17.15 cm) across the flats. Since the range you want is a fourth lower, it can be expected to have bigger reeds, but only slightly bigger. I think it should still fit nicely within a hexagonal end that's 7" -- or at most 7-1/4" -- across the flats. You might even be able to squeeze in an additional "half octave" octave at the top (5 buttons to the F, 7 buttons to the G) if 7-1/4" is a size that can work for you- It only goes down to middle C, I'd like to be able to go at least a fourth lower, and preferably two octaves above, i.e. the range of a violin in first position.
There have also been reports of a few instruments in bodies smaller than "normal" for their range, including a couple of treble Englishes in piccolo-sized bodies and Juliette Daum's bass-baritone English which is the same size as my own baritone-treble, but that must mean smaller scale reeds and so probably less volume.

hello people ..

Kristina is fabulous. I know nothing about the class specifics, town, Germany etc. But I can definitely say that from the class I took with Kristina, it was well worth it and she is wonderful!
I wouldn't pass up that opportunity!Paula
Just last week I took a 3 day class from Kristina on Maui. It was great. I'm not a dot person and never will be but I learned lots of stuff that I can use on the beads I make whether they have dots on them or not. And she's a real sweetie.
Hi Mike,
can you give me the Url of the class with Kristina Logan?
thank you,
Marlein, from Holland
Hi Marlein
The URL is http://www.Bohle.de (choose languaige...) Their headquarter is in Haan, near Duesseldorf. But there is no location mentioned in their brochure...
Ciao Mike--
I told you a long time ago in a p.m. that if you possibly could, you SHOULD study with Kristina in Europe -- she is absolutely one of the most talented beadmakers in the UNIVERSE, and she is also beautiful, sweet, very gifted, and a great teacher!
So if you can get into that class, I would say GO FOR IT -- it doesn't GET much better than Kristina -- she is absolutely wonderful -- I ADORE HER and her beads!!! You would learn SO MUCH from her!
Margi, off to Tucson now for at least two weeks, so out of touch for awhile!
Dusseldorf is only a couple of hours drive from Amsterdam. I am very very interested, but can not find any information. The site of Bohle doesnôt seem to mention a course by Kristina Logan.
Mike, THis might be a great opportunity to get some lessons from a leading bead lady AND to meet....................................... me!!
Greetings, Marlein
Hello Marlein...unfortunately i have no further news about Kristina class at Haan...i only know perhaps will be at net May.....
next May i would go at Florence and at Murano and could be good to go at Kristina class in Germany....and why not?? meet also miss Marlein.....
what do you think?
Hi Marlein
Check this: http://www.bohle.de/download/pdf/Seminar_06.pdf
I found it in the German languaige site.
