Sundance Instawalk

Filed under: iPhone, postagram.

Last minute, but I'm doing an #instawalk at Sundance Saturday afternoon. We'll meet at noon in front of The Egyptian Theater and walk Mainstreet for an hour. We'll be tagging the photos #instawalksundance.

This is totally last minute, but I’m in Park City, UT because… well, just read about the trip here. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to do a mobile photo walk through the heart of Sundance, so we’ll be meeting today (Saturday) at noon in front of the Egyptian Theater. Anyone is welcome to join us, but we are encouraging folks to try posting to Twitter and/or Instagram with the #instawalksundance tag as we are out walking. Fun, right? More details, including info on a daily photo contest sponsored by Postagram/Bing here.

I love playing around with gifs! Lately I’ve been creating cinemagraphs, still images with just a tiny bit of movement, with the Kinotopic app and posting them to the Objective Scenes bloghole.

Valencia Swing

Let me tell you about my love/hate relationship with the Valencia Street Swing. I love how elegant it is, and hate that I didn’t think of it first. A few weeks ago, some folks hung this swing from a tree branch across the street from Summit Cafe and it somehow managed to survive until late this afternoon.

A tale of two dentists

Been There

Four years ago I was drugged up and getting some dental work done by one of those dentists that asks a bunch of questions while he has his hand in your mouth. Immediately afterwards I made this quirky little watercolor painting with the hopes of capturing that familiar perspective we all experience during a typical dental visit.

Last year I visited a new dentist in the neighborhood and came across this painting in their waiting room:

art in a dentist's office

I asked my dentist about the piece and they said it was a gift from one of their patients. What cracks me up about the two paintings is that they are so similar but have such different intentions. I was trying to capture this twisted experience, but my piece seems cute compared to the other piece… which was intended to be cute!

Journey into analog

Lomo Prints

I bought my Diana (by Lomography) in December from Photobooth SF (where I also got this tintype portrait). I figured learning more about analog photography could be a great way to help me improve aspects of my digital photography. I shot my first four rolls of film using the “pinhole” exposure… meaning not a single shot came out. I guess it’s learning lessons the hard way is part of the experience, but after a lot of practice and experimenting I’m glad to finally have a few shots worth sharing! See the full flickr set here.
