Wait for it…

Shot at the equivalent of 50mm f/0.8ish.

If everything goes right, I should be able to do the big reveal of what I've been up to with these "strange lenses" tomorrow. Here's the big hint, though -- when you rule out the impossible, the improbable must be true. It's impossible that I've had the time or the knowhow to literally sit in a lab and grind out glass. What I've done is the repurposing of existing tools to achieve a very different effect. It's like when someone figured out that if you take a fast 50mm lens, reverse it, and put it on another lens, you get a powerful macro option.

The good news, then, is that while certain tools will dramatically help this effect, you don't need to buy any equipment solely for it. I'm sure one of you will figure out exactly what I've done in the next 30 seconds now -- you're too darned clever. After all, I've ruled out all but one possibility, mathematically speaking. Just remember this is real, optical DoF, not photoshop blur.

Who would have guessed the biggest cathedral in the world was in Godless New York City? ;-)

You know a protestor means it when you can see his tonsils

Members of a restaurant workers union protest establishments that they say have done them wrong. They seemed to have well-documented cases. Places that will work you for 14 hours without break and then steal some of your check? Having worked in restaurants through collegiate summers, there are a couple places I'd like to add to that list.

Meet Julie. In addition to having a winning smile, Julie has a dream. She wants to sing. She wants to perform with some fellow musicians in New York City. If you have any leads for her, drop me a line.

An outtake of my portrait shoot with Julie. Here she reacts as I tell her that her shirt is bunching up. Strangely, I like it.
