Rickenbacker 330
I love guitars. If I could, I’d have a room full of them. Now, don’t take this to mean I play the guitar. I play a little, but I’m very bad. I can play bits and pieces of songs I like, but I don’t think there’s one song I could get although way through.
This weekend I decided to buy a Rickenbacker 330. I’ve wanted this guitar for a while. I can’t really explain what made me pull the trigger and buy one this weekend. I honestly hadn’t even thought about it in a long time and I certainly don’t have a need for a new guitar (I already have a nice Gretsch Hollow Body)… but as can happen when browsing the Internet, I ended up on a video of Dan Auerbach (whom I’ll be seeing in concert on the 13th at Bimbo’s) and he was playing what looks to be a vintage Rickenbacker 330 Rickenbacker 360/12C63. That seemed to be all the motivation I needed.
Breaking Point
I realized today there is a point where you may just drive your assistant crazy. Here is the moment I drove friend and assistant Emily Merrill to the breaking point on an editorial shoot.
And, here is Emily doing her best ”I’m a model and I can contort my body into weird positions for no apparent reason whatsoever” pose.
If you feel bad for Emily, having to put up with me, and happen to need (or know someone who needs) a wedding photographer you should check out her great new wedding website here: http://www.emmyjeannephotography.com/
Snow – Finally
We finally got a good dumping of snow here in California, so I headed up to Tahoe for the weekend. These are some shots taken with a cool little point and shoot, the Panasonic DMC-LX3 (100% identical to the Leica D-LUX 4, so don’t waist your money on the little red dot)
F&CK Digital Part 3
Here’s one more for the revival of film. The folks over at The Impossible Project are in the process of bringing back Polaroid film. Here’s to hoping they’ll have something like Type-55.
Head over to their website and show your support:
