I redid my painting gallery again, added some paintings that haven't been shown before and I am now offering 5x7 inch archival prints on a nice "moab" art paper; signed for just $15. I can also do larger sizes upon request. 
Updated my painting gallery today and added the option of ordering an archival 5x7" inkjet print. I'm am also getting ready for the November Ballard Art Walk, redoing my walls with black and white prints from my recent NYC trip. 
I received my new printer this week. I have been holding off on buying a photo printer for some years years, as I couldn't see offering prints that might fade in a matter of months. Well now, with the introduction of the HP b9180 pigment-based printer I feel I can finally start offering prints I feel won't fade. The claim is 100-200 years. I'm not sure I believe that, I'm testing a print in my west-facing studio window now, but I am hopeful. 
I need to do a little venting, make a little rant. I was at the grocery store tonight and the woman in front of me, she was in her 70s I suppose, took about 5 minutes to write a check. Hello, it's the 21st century!!! Writing a check at the grocery? That is really really old school! There we are waiting for her to find her check book, find her pen, fill out every-single-space not before the bill is totaled but after of course. She also filled in the register part before handing the check to the clerk. Oh! 
Developed more film this weekend and will continue scanning in the morning. I'm getting down to the last rolls and I would be happy to head back to NYC to shoot some more. Well, I don't think I can get away with that so I'll have to settle for downtown Seattle for a while.
It is a beautiful fall day and here I sit in front of a computer! Well I mean to do something about that right now. I'm off in a moment for a nice bike ride down along Lake Washington then up to Capitol Hill to pick up my Beans and then back to the grind; or not.
Still the same old story, scanning images from my NYC trip. This will be my story for a few weeks here I think. Just got news my new printer shipped and should be here by the end of the week. It's a month late but I still hope to have an exibition up before Thanksgivings. I will also start offering a cheaper, injet version of my work. This new printer, the HP B9180 claims to have a 200 year print life so I finally feel comfortable offering injet prints (or giclee as some people like to say (French for inkjet)). 
I got a few more images from NYC scanned and uploaded today. You can see them here. For most of my street photography I take the photo by pre-setting the focus and it appears I did a pretty good job of estimating focus this trip. I've only developed 8 of the 30 rolls of film I took but so far I'm able to use about half of each roll. That's quite good. This image from taken in Soho at a book and record street sale. Light level was quite low, so I was shooting down at 1/60th of a second and f5.6 or so, so there wasn't much room for focus error. 
Developed 8 rolls of film last night and had time to scan a few images today. They can be seen here. Tomorrow I should have more time for scanning and over the weekend more time to develop film. 
I posted some color images from my recent NYC trip. Didn't get around to developing film last night, perhaps tonight once all is quiet in the house.
Back from the big city to the little village named Seattle. I know I will miss the constant photo opportunities NYC offers but I also appreciate the nice salt air here, and finally, after a week, having a really good Latte was pure bliss. New York was great and I'm thinking I need to make a yearly pilgrimage there, but I doubt I could actually live there (I would like to spend 6 months to a year there at some point). Not being able to see the horizon, lack of mountains, and a few other points I fear would get to me with time. It's a very nice place to visit.
