Japan Disaster Relief Print Sale

Jeff Singer — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:54:13 +0000

Last year when the Haiti disaster struck I offered prints sales where all of the proceeds went towards the Haiti disaster relief. Well, sadly a year later we have another disaster that needs our hep. I made some print sales from the Haiti print offer so, I’m offering the same deal for the Japan disaster. It’s not much, but anything will help.:

I will be donating 100% of the proceeds from the next ten print sales* from my etsy page to The American Red Cross to help with the Japan disaster relief . Print prices range from $50 – $200 depending on the size of the print, so the larger the print the more money will be going to Japan relief. All prints are individually custom printed by me.

You can visit my Etsy page here for more information about the available prints:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/jeffsingerphoto

I have limited images on my etsy page so if an image you’d like a print of isn’t on my etsy page let me know and I will print any image on my website.

You can also make your own donation to The American Red Cross here.

Please forward or retweet to spread the word and hopefully get some much needed money to the Japan disaster relief efforts.

*100% of the print sale will be donated after any paypal/etsy fees, shipping or taxes. Just mention this blog post or Japan disaster relief when ordering. Good through the end of April 2011.

Tosca Cafe – San Francisco

Jeff Singer — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:38:02 +0000

Last week I went to Rayko Photo Center to do some large format printing and made a 30″x40″ print of this image of Tosca Cafe in San Francisco. I loved the way it came out so I thought I’d offer a 25% discount on this print in my Etsy shop through the end of February 2011. Just use the coupon code TOSCA when checking out (here’s a secret… you can use the code on any print really). Here’s a link to the Tosca Cafe image on Etsy.

If you’ve never been to Tosca Cafe you should check it out next time you’re in San Francisco. It’s a great little bar that makes you feel like you’ve been taken back to the 1940′s.

Don’t Look!

I’m thinking about reorganzing the galleries on my website and while I was going through the images I realized, I really like it when people aren’t looking at the camera. I know I usually ask people to look away, I just didn’t realize I did it so often:

Kat In A Hat

Still refusing to use one of those fauxlaroid apps that everyone with an iPhone & Facebook account seem to be using… but then again, I only have about 4 more sheets of TZ-Artistic left so I may succumb soon.

World Cup Fever

Jeff Singer — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:38:51 +0000

Now that the US is out of the world cup I need something to make the rest of the games more exciting. Because when watching the US matches, every minute was really exciting (especially with their tendency to go down a goal early). But now I find that I’m just not that into the games. They’re still fun to watch, but I have nothing vested in them.

So, to make the World Cup a bit more exciting for me I’m going be offering free prints via Twitter to randomly chosen people who retweet about the giveaway and my selected team loses. This should increase my excitement a bit since I don’t particularly want to take the time to make and send out free prints. So, stay tuned to my Twitter feed during select matches and maybe you’ll get a free 5×6 print of one of the images above.

Fresh out of the camera. Sadly, I’m on my last box of Polaroid TZ Artistic. I love the look of these.

I like the 70′s vibe on these.

More Rock, Less Talk

Jeff Singer — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:49:46 +0000

I’m going to start posting more new images here without the commentary. Works in progress or recently shot images. Because really, you probably aren’t listening to me anyway.

Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing

Jeff Singer — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:08:48 +0000

With what seems like everyone and their mother using an iPhone to make “fauxlaroids” it almost seems silly for me to actually carry around my recently purchased SX-70 camera and spend money on the last remaining stock of Polaroid film (which is getting damn expensive at about $6 a shot when you factor in the shipping from Hungary). Did I say “almost” silly… no “almosts” about it. I don’t think I’ve seen a Facebook photo update recently without the fake Polaroid treatment being applied.

But, in stark opposition to everything else in my life, when it comes to my creative tastes (photography, music, movies, etc) I seem to be stuck in the 1970′s. Film, vinyl and Pong all the way for me… ok, not Pong (although I do remember my dad having a Pong machine… hard to believe, but there was an entire machine dedicated to the technologically and graphically sophisticated Pong.)

As I posted not too long ago, I bought an SX-70 and a few packs of Polaroid film with the hopes that The Impossible Project will be able to come up with a color film that matches the look and feel of the original Polaroid film. I haven’t really been using it much… I think I’ve only shot a few sheets since buying the camera. Possibly because I’m actually afraid to use it, for fear of not having anything to replace it with. Anyway, I’m just now getting around to scanning the few frames that I have shot with it.

As it stands right now, I only have about 19 shots of Polaroid TZ Artistic left (and I love the colors you get with this film). I was trying to decide if I wanted to come up with a specific project for the film or just shoot random things that catch my eye. For this film, I decided to just shoot random things.

I do however have six boxes of Polaroid Fade To Black (48 shots) that I haven’t taken a single picture with yet. This looks like a very cool film with a unique look, so I’m going to try and come up with a project specifically for this film. I haven’t figured out what it will be just yet so the film just sits in my refrigerator, hopefully not going bad before I figure out a good use for it.

So here’s to hoping the geniuses over at The Impossible project have something good up their sleeves.

Vote Early And Vote Often: Digital Camera Giveaway

Jeff Singer — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:42:56 +0000

One of my pictures of The Golden Gate Bridge is a “finalist” for inclusion into Pingg’s San Francisco Designer Series. If my image wins the vote, I would get a Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera. Well, as we all know the best way to win any election is to buy your votes… so, if you head over to the Pingg voting page and vote for me and then retweet the following, I will give away the camera to one lucky person (if I win it that is):
RT @jeffsinger Digital Camera Giveaway: http://bit.ly/6OCg7q

Here is the voting page:
http://www.pingg.com/content/san-frans-finest-vote-now/

Of course, I have no way of knowing if you actually voted for me… and you should vote for the picture you like best, but if you win the camera and can live with yourself, that’s between you and your therapist. Then again… if I don’t win, you don’t win.

What’s that you say? You don’t tweet? What, do you have a life or something? Well, if you don’t tweet you can also leave a comment in the comment section and that will count as an entry. But, a retweet and a comment will get you two entries.

Oh, and if you want a print of the Golden Gate Bridge image, click here.

The Fine print: There is no fine print. I’ll even pay for shipping. But, if I don’t win the camera, then I don’t give one away. The voting ends December 14th, so hurry on over and vote.
