Lake Merritt in Oakland. I like this first shot a lot. It was taken with a 1960s Nikkor 135mm lens at f32. No one uses f32 because most lenses don’t…

These have a lovely vignette from an excessive aperture. Shady corners that don’t exist.
These were shot with an Ernst Leitz 9cm lens from the 1920s. The camera is a Canon EOS-M (mirrorless). …
Two Moons… one over another. sonoma moonrise from kekeJones on Vimeo.
This is another page of Overdrive pics: TiltShifts, HDR, multiple exposures… and lots of BOOM colors. By the way, the word “orejon” means Big Ears–but these were all shot in…
Picked up a nice old Schneider-Kreuznach 50mm 1.9 from the 1940s. Compur is the shutter. It’s springtime here. Took a few roadside shots with it today. …
Daguerre was the guy credited with inventing photography. It’s really hard to show people what a daguerreotype looks like on a computer screen–in real life they are very 3D as you…
Nice day for some old lenses. These are pics from a Canon 200mm f4 and a Schneider-Kreuznach 135mm f4. Shot some film with old cameras. Crossing fingers now that cameras…

Nice old Cistern on Petaluma Hill Road. I can’t quite decide whether I like to see all of it or only a little. The upper one is a composite (several…
Sometimes you see the window… and sometimes you see through to what is on the other side. Also, crookedy.
This is a little bit work demo. The color pics are highly processed using HDR software. The color versions are pushed to show some maximums. I like this as source…
While I was in Alameda near the old Navy yard… the security person stopped by and told me that pictures are OK but using a tripod isn’t. She was kind…
Today is September 10th, 2014. There is a specific form of internet protest going on today called Internet Slowdown Day. At issue is something called Net Neutrality. I usually just…
Geometry. These are mostly geometery. I’m really fond of these pictures because of something weird. This lens got stoled! The pics were taken with some unusual equipment. The series was…
