Reader jimh has requested a specific photo that he would buy if it were for sale. I’m happy to put that up (I just have to find it and scan it first). Does anyone else have specific requests?

Superfund Evening Originally uploaded by lyzadanger I went down to the Superfund site in North Portland for a second trip with my friend Duncan and we set about photographing it with great aplomb. Fun with multiple remote-fired flashes. I don’t really have much in the way of digital equipment, so while Duncan used his Canon [...]

I’m giving a try at selling some photos online, at Etsy, The Infamous Fred Meyer Photo can be had at 8×12″ for $10. I needs me some extra cash, see, because I suddenly realize I need to invest in some camera-related hoo-hah. And it doesn’t come cheap.

Tonight, my friend Steve Brown and I will be getting a booth space at First Thursday, a monthly art and gallery festival that has been going on since time immaterial in Portland’s post-trendy Pearl District. We’ll be selling our photographs, pre-matted and frame-ready. Drop by, if you’re in the area.

Sydney and I at Wickiup Reservoir Originally uploaded by lyzadanger For some reason, this snapshot I just uploaded to Flickr reminds me that I really never spend any money on photography equipment. Why? I don’t know. People who are “far less into” the pursuit than I am consistently have better gear, and take better care [...]

One More Storm Originally uploaded by lyzadanger. This photo or the one from my last post? I need to decide which to make a print from.C’mon, you gots to have an opinion! Tell me and I won’t shoot you in the face.

It’s strange I do this so rarely, acquire photo equipment. Considering. Can you believe it? I bought a digital point-and-shoot. I bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2. Why? Because it behaves the most like an SLR of any point-and-shoot I can find. And I really need a camera I can, and actually will, carry most places [...]

My Fred Meyer Photo on Flickr continues to make the rounds on the Interweb. Some good news: it will be the featured photo of the day on Wikipedia on March 29! You can preview it here. Additionally, the author of a well-known personal finance blog has expressed some interest in using it as part of [...]
