A while ago I did a post of some interesting search phrases used to find my website.  I thought I’d take another look and see what people have been searching for the last couple months.

Confused:
clothed naked photography

Confrontational:
my singer can kick your singer’s ass

Disturbing:
my ass in medium format

Why would you want to?:
jeff in the nude
jeff nude
naked jeff pics

People who are to cheap to pay microstock fees:
how to remove an istockphoto watermark
photoshop remove istockphoto watermark
remove istockphoto watermark

People who want to steal from photographers directly:
how to remove a watermark from a photographer

Looking for love?:
is liz hatch a lesbian
emily merrill lesbian

What does it mean that my site comes up for this?:
dirty photographer

I hope not… So far, so good:
bad times for sf photographers

The restraining order is now active:
i hate jeff singer

And finally, whoever it was… call me*:
love of my life jeff singer

*maybe you should email first.

There must be some kind of movement going on. It seems to me there is a digital backlash at the moment. Maybe not a full scale revolt, but it seems to me like a lot of photographers I know who had all but switched to digital are now shooting more film.

I know I started shooting film again about 6 months ago when I decided to buy an old Rolleiflex to carry around with me from time to time. Just this week I went ahead and bought a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II (for really cheap I might add… a barely used demo kit with lens & film back for only $850!!!). And, a little over a year ago I bought a 4×5 camera primarily to shoot Polaroid Type-55 (that idea unfortunately went out the door quickly with Polaroid film’s demise).

Now, I must confess that most of my film shooting will be for personal projects. I’ll sprinkle in some film shots on editorial shoots when budgets allow for both digital fees and film related expenses. For commercial projects, it’ll be digital for sure since the Art Directors usually like seeing what’s going on as we shoot. But, for the projects that actually mean something to me, I’ll likely be using one of my film cameras (not that my paying jobs don’t mean anything… but you know what I mean).

I just got done shooting an editorial assignment for Inc. magazine. I brought out my new RZ67 and shot film for the first time on an editorial shoot for quite some time. Having never used an RZ67 before I didn’t want to rely on it alone, so I got the primary shot out of the way with my digital system (Contax 645 w/ Phase One P25+). But once I did, I switched over to the RZ67 and had a bit more fun with it. It was nice shooting and not running back to a monitor every 10 shots or looking at the LCD on the back of the camera to see what we had.

This isn’t digital vs film quality debate. I’m not going to say one is of better quality than the other. I’m not shooting film again for quality reasons. They are just different. I shoot differently when shooting film. I like the way I shoot with film. I slow down and think about things more than I would with digital. And anything that can get me to think has to be good.

The blogging has been a bit scarce lately. I’ve been traveling back and forth between San Francisco and my hometown Stockton. My mother was just recently diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. This week she started her chemo treatment. Her doctor has had her in the hospital since Monday for her first treatment to make sure there were no adverse reactions. She gets out of the hospital today. So far she is feeling fine so hopefully that will continue.

A friend of mine, Deirdre, is running for “Team In Training.” She will be running marathon and is looking for sponsors to donate money. All the money goes to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you would be interested in donating (as little as $25 is possible) you can do so on her link here:
http://www.active.com/donate/tntgsf/tntgsfDSabow

Her goal is $2800 and she’s 59% there as of now. Of course we could put her way past that if we tried.

If you know anyone else who may be interested in donating please forward her link on.

I’m sure I’ll get back to writing more completely useless blog posts soon.

This week I’m moving studios. It’s not that big of a move since its only two doors down from my current studio. The new studio is much larger than my current studio. And look, it even has its own website:http://www.studio308sf.com/The idea to move started a couple weeks ago when Caren Alpert asked me if my studio mate Natalie Bowen and I would be interested in moving into her studio. The timing was perfect since our lease was set to expire at the end of this month.If you’re a photographer in San Francisco looking for studio space you know it can be hard to come by. It won’t take them long to fill it, but if you’re interested my old studio #306 is now on the market. You can get contact information here:http://aicproperties.com/

I always find it interesting how people get to my website or blog. Some come directly here and some arrive via another website. But often people get here via search engine searches. Here are some of the more interesting ways people found my website and blog:

Jeff Singer is a complete hack

I get over 600 different search phrases a month. Since I don’t feel like going through the whole list, this list was only from the last few months .

Of course, by now everyone knows that search engines index websites based on the words found on the site. So, I’m going to seed this post with some words to see what other interesting search phases I’ll find in the future… here we go:
I’m often excited by
horses
impregnate
my next door neighbor’s
mexican brothel

That’ll do… can’t wait to see what I find.
