There's just nothing that smooths out a background like that particular Sonnar. One of my favorite lenses, and for portraits just like this--catching people in the act of being happy, without any distractions from the subject (except for us'n photographers, of course).Originally Posted by Jay Decker

Sometimes I miss California. (That shot of the eucalyptus doesn't help, Austin!)

My eyes liked the color differences and composition (as best as I could with a prime lens and fast moving subject) as I was shooting. Later on, I like how the colors separate the past and the future. I'll be reshooting it square sometime with my TLR to get more composition options.

My first attempt at scanning negatives on one of the scanners available here at school.
I was wandering around a trail north of Iowa City and found this 50gal drum randomly seated in the middle of a clearing, quite surreal.
Some shots outside my house today.
The adjacent lot is building a storage facility, they've left some heavy machinery lying about.

This was taken a number of years ago in Spokane. It doesn't snow like this very often in Portland.

How do you focus with this? I can barely focus the Biometar 80mm with the ancient Pentacon screen.
