New Orleans and Santa Rosa Island

A little while back I got an email from a guy in Santa Rosa Island, Florida- who had seen the images on the site. After the hurricanes, there was little left of places where I stayed while traveling through the Island. He said the the beaches, the motels, the bars.... all devastated by the rain and wind. So I went back and took a look at the film I had, scanned some more and put it up on the site. Check the Santa Rosa Island section for updates and new images. Also have a look at a new gallery- New Orleans. A few years back I took a train from Delaware to New Orleans, (which was a great adventure by itself.. ) we stayed for a few days, picked up a car and proceeded to get lost. We ended up on Santa Rosa Island, and a few days later we were still there. Just couldn't bring myself to leave the warm beaches, key lime pie and cold margaritas...

Updates, Updates, and One Really Old Camera.

Finally started getting all those scans sorted and up on the site... Check for the Angry Street Magician, who for 10 minutes just yelled about how NYC was better then Philly, then did some really bad slight of hand tricks. Then did the 'pull the long rag out of my hand trick' which was followed by burning himself with a lit cigarette. Then he yelled some more, and asked us for money. I threw him a buck, only because I stood there snapping shots with the Holga.

For all you Polaroid lovers out there, I added a gallery of Polaroid images taken with a 1938 Speed Graphic 4x5.. you know the one's you see in the old movies? That one.. I happened to have one handy at a party, and couldn't help but see if we could get it to work.. it did.

Expanded Street gallery coming soon, soon as I get the scans goin' and for you car nuts, there will be a new collection of the infamous Gt3 Porsche.

Oh, and I noticed that the nicnichols.com font has been downloaded close to 1,000 times- so if you used it in something cool (but of course, not commercial...) send me a jpeg! Best use gets a free 12" print of your choice. Really.

Statues freak me out...

I thought clowns were bad.. but I ran across these two statues in this field, so I thought I would get some Holga grabs of them.. after I shot a few frames they seemed to be just about to speak, and I started to feel sick.. needless to say I was off in a hurry, but got a bunch of images to put up this week.

More update and links this week, as well as version 2.o of the nicnichols.com font!

auf Wiedersehen GT3...

How many locations can you squeeze into one weekend? A lot if you don't sleep..
after a marathon 18 hours yesterday, we are ready for day two of our GT3 shoot-a-thon..
Why? Its for sale, so we are getting as many shots as we can to remember it by.. (and pad our portfolios with...) I will update the site this week with new auto images, as well as a few new galleries that I finally got around to scanning.. but here is one image from the D200 Nikon, (ya, I know this is an all film site, but we wanted to make sure we got something before the rent-a-cop kicked us out of the parking garage..)

Summer heat, Stinky Tourists...

Back from the Holiday weekend.. but instead of hitting the beach, we hit the city for some shopping and dining.. take a good look at the couple above. While dining at our favorite lunch spot, at our favorite table, this couple brazenly requested our table- While we were still eating!
No offense to tourists, but please don't vulture tables while in Philly. Or at least not at the Pontiac Grill. They were none too pleased that I wanted a photo to remember them by...

Other then that.. finally got to scanning, and getting some new work up on the site. I tried to find some farm animals during a trip south, but instead found a flock of sheep made of metal. I also toured a beautiful garden and met the angriest street magician ever, but more on that later..

Also thanks to Boonika.com, Artdorks.com and Wurzeltod.ch for posting my images.. Check them out for some great imagery!
