* Eyes: Favorite Photos from Recent Travel
Posted on May 3rd, 2010 by Mike Shriver. Filed under Photography.
I recently took 6 weeks off from work to visit some friends in South America. When I got back, I dumped 9 rolls on the counter at my local Bartell’s. I’m dedicating this post to my favorite shots from the trip.
* Swift Industries Roll-Top Panniers
Posted on February 16th, 2010 by Mike Shriver. Filed under Cycling, Photography.
I’m extremely excited about the most recent accessories I have purchased for my bike, a set of panniers. These beauties were handmade by a front-room operation here in Seattle called Swift Industries. I first came across these when I was looking for patterns to make some Panniers for myself, and I have been jonesin’ after them for quite some time now. Thanks to some saved up Christmas gift money, I was finally able to put in an order. Since they are hand-made to order, it took about three weeks for me to get them, and it was completely worth the wait.
* Eyes: On Not Trusting the Computer
Posted on August 15th, 2009 by Mike Shriver. Filed under Photography.
The second camera I acquired recently, a fully-manual Fujica ST801, got it’s first roll back yesterday. I’m a little more impressed with the results of this roll. The Fujica is fully-manual so I have to spend a few moments with it before I can take any photos. It’s very intimate, and requires more patience than I have had to use in the past. The results were overall better than the AE-1, which reinforces a general distrust of things unnecessarily computerized.
* Eyes: First Roll From a New Camera
Posted on August 11th, 2009 by Mike Shriver. Filed under Photography.
Two new cameras arrived last week. My collection of Lomo cameras has deteriorated down to a disused Holga, and so I hit up ebay for a replacement to my 35mm options. Turns out high quality cameras from the 70’s run less than the eternally trendy lomo-style point-and-shoot’s. I scored a Fujica ST-801 for $35. I expect to be processing the first rolls from that camera sometime this week.
I ran a roll through the old Canon AE-1 that my dad brought up from Salt Lake. I’ve got a batch of expired (2002) Kodak Gold 200 that I intended to run through my ill-fated Smena2 (RIP), so I shot a test roll to get a feel for my new toy:
