I’ve been taking a few photos with a Canon Eos Rebel G, on loan from my brother Pete (who’s headed to med-school in Bristol). I haven’t used film in awhile, but the lcd on my digitial camera is broken so I’m shooting blind either way. At least you get a lot of control with the SLR. The downside is the cost of developing, although they’re trying to remain competitve with digital and offering up photo cds with you prints. Anyway, here’s a funny shot from a black and white roll that I just received back from processing.

High winds from the tail-end of a hurricane brought down some trees around here last week. Apparently the car was a rental, I can just imagine how the phone-call with the agency must have gone. Also check out this photo of a man on a bike and some graffiti.

I’ve been working on a number of web-based projects lately, some that pay, some that don’t. At this moment, I’d like to officially announce one of those projects: Seal Club, a small art and design group. It’s not an agency or anything like that, just a few people that like to make pretty pictures. Really, it’s been operating for a few weeks now but we haven’t been promoting it. There have been some hints around here, namely the Conform Project domain redirecting to Seal Club and the del.icio.us feed in my links.

The site is essentially an old-school ftp-style design site, glued together with a bunch of new tools. We all used to be members of art groups in the pre-y2k web (Swanky, Suffocate) and have some desire to relive those days. Mostly, it’s the motivation of having other people to kick you in the ass when you’re not getting anything done. Everything is done by hand via ftp with some efforts to stay standards compliant. We use del.icio.us to help us maintain our lists or links within the site and the forum is powered by flickr.
