{Speed Shop}
I love me some classic cars.
I wrote a little about my love for old cars in a post a few years back. My most recent adventure in photographing cars was a bit earlier this year, at a speed shop – that is to say, a car shop specializing in high-performance automobiles. Well, this one had more than just hot rods they’re working on. It had odds, ends, and even oddities! Like the SV-48 (an electric car from the 70s,) a Divco milk truck, and a life-sized Spiderman figure.
It was an unusually warm January afternoon, the lighting was just right as we were driving past this car shop, so I took my chance to hop out and burn through a roll of Kodak Ektar. I was glad that the folks at the shop were kind enough to allow me to snap these photos with my mighty little Ricoh FF-1* !

How bout some band photos up in here? It’s been awhile!
I went to my friend Alex’s birthday party/show at the Hi-Tone last night. He had a couple of awesome bands play, and it was a lot of fun to hang out and hear some local bands play in honor of Alex. It was especially great because the Hi-Tone will be closing its doors soon. Sad face. I’m glad I got to go back, at least one last time!

Happy birthday, Alex!
Technical note: Can you believe I took these band pictures with my point-and-shoot digital camera?? I sure didn’t expect that working with the manual controls would allow me to get some decent band photos outta that thing! And the Polaroids were taken on expired Polaroid 600 film (probably the last original Polaroid film I’ll ever have a chance to shoot) and a Polaroid one600 camera, both of which were gifted to me by my buddy Daniel.
