I got an email from CF Salicath telling me of his LEGO creation made in the wake of the Legotron. Holy shit, you guys. This thing is a) awesome, b) huge, and c) fucking awesome. This dude made a LEGO Twin-lens reflex camera! MY HEAD IS EXPLODING!

Last Halloween there was a skate comp at the now-defunct Shoe Factory skate spot hosted by Peter Karvonen, pictured above. I’m just now getting good scans of some of those shots (the black and white ones anyway) and thought I’d post them, even if I’m too lazy to spot them and stuff right now.
Below is a dude’s super gnarly scar and fake Tony Hawk.
Quick update on the pup! Fin has really done an amazing job with everything—crate training, living in a new place, being more or less responsive despite not being trained, and he has cuddling locked DOWN.
It’s cute explosions all the time over here.

The real Dr House. This one makes a killer lasagna.
Fin on his way home!
Today we added a new member to our family. Stephanie and I adopted a wiener dog (mix?) from the Chilton County Humane Society and, like probably every pet owner, we clearly have the cutest dog of all of time. He’s pretty stinky, too.

In the freaking kitchen! OH MY GOD
TOY!
Butt!
This blog post will serve as the home to new photos of Fin, too. I’ll update this post here and there with new photos, so if you’re interested in him growing up (I’m looking at you, Nicole), bookmark this URL.
Branden on the Legotron, shot on Kodak Portra 160
In an attempt to stay positive about Kodak, I thought maybe today was a decent day to post one of the images I’ve shot in color on the Legotron. Kodak sent over a few sheets for me to test out a while back and I’m just now getting around to really do anything with the stuff I’ve shot so far.
This first shot is Branden. I took some sheets on my normal field camera also to be able to compare color and all that stuff, but I’m still working on getting super clean scans for color 4×5. Black & white and color film stocks are different and despite being able to get great scans now out of BW, color is still eluding me—damn Newton rings.
I’ve got to say though, I absolutely ADORE the weird color shifts that come from light leaks and colored blocks. A bunch of people who have seen the camera have told me that I should rather have black blocks inside the camera, or spray it flat black. But perfection is the absolute last thing I’m after with this camera! All these weird lines and blotches. Love it!
