Feb 2: Photo show at Cafe Royale: I’ve got two photos in this juried show at one of the most cultured bars in the city. It’ll be swell, I promise. Last photo show there was a fist fight? No, but seriously.

Feb 22: Reading at Green Apple Books, at 7pm. At the risk of pissing off every other bookseller in the nation, I’ll go out on a limb and say it: this is my very favorite bookstore.

March 7: Reading at 2 Sisters Bar and Books at 7:30pm. This is where you go to read Tolstoy, drink a Jack Rose Cocktail, and tryst with a dark-haired beauty. Did I mention they have a book club?

“Kill Your Darlings.”
Opening reception – Jan 28th, 6pm-8pm.

This is an oldie but a goodie, and it really strikes at the core of why I love lo-fi analog photography…

In an age of increasing information proliferation, the genuine will reign supreme.

This is part one of an experiment with “masks.”  I’ve used transfer paper to lift a picture from a newspaper.  The transfer paper is then taped inside the camera body in front of the film, resulting in the newsprint picture superimposed on the negative.  In the above photo, the faces in the sky are all part of the mask.

Here’s a picture Christine took of my trusty Diana wearing a different sort of mask–an opaque puzzle cut-out.  You can see how it’s positioned inside the camera:

Thanks to SF Toy Camera meetup, and Christine Zona, for the lesson in mask making!
