I had the privilege of photographing Eva a couple weekends ago. We met in the morning to do some family portraits downtown. I did a mix of LF shots, Ektar 100 with an old 210mm Tessar, 8×10 320TXP with a Carl Meyer 12″ Apo-Process, and my favorite portrait lens – the Gundlach Rapid Rectigraphic. I surprisingly love the CM shots, I hope to have one of those posted after I return from vacation. This one up above, though.. be sure to check out the larger version of it. It’s lenses like this that drive me to Large Format so easily. It’s the process of shooting Large Format that drives me to do portraits.

As always, I hope Eva likes this photo as much as I do.

In Bangalore, there are dogs everywhere. I was there in Spring of 2010, and it was already 35C (95F) during the day. By the time it’s hot out, most of the dogs are taking naps in the shade, under cars or trees, basically anywhere that’s not super hot. I don’t blame them.

One of the things I found charming about Bangalore was the signage. There were so many hand-pained signs, on wood panels and on the sides of buildings. I came across this sign for John Panter on a long walk. I wasn’t sure what it meant. Who is John Panter? I guess if I wanted to find out, I’d just follow the arrow.

This is my first published scan produced with VueScan. I decided that since my old Epson’s scanner software doesn’t work on Lion, and I hate the built-in scanning software, I decided to take the plunge and try VueScan. So far I’m happy with it.
