I started “seriously” photoblogging in November of 2004, and registered my site with Photoblogs.org on December 1st, 2004. I’ve had fun maintaining this site over the last two years — it has definitely pushed me to continuously shoot, process and refine, which is why I started a photoblog in the first place.

I’ve definitely posted fewer pictures this past year than I did in my first year, and (but for a brief period last spring) I also have had fewer comments. Still, I kept up a 2-3 per week posting frequency and I think I’ve put up some very nice pictures, especially this one, this one and this one.

Several other things have changed over the last year:

· I got a digital SLR (but this part of the site has remained film-only)
· I started Photosensitive Words (please check it out!)
· I’ve started using my Flickr account much more
· Folderblog, the software that runs this site, was abandoned by its author and I’ve begun searching for a way to transfer the site onto another blogging system

I anticipate this site remaining largely the same over the next year, though when 2007 starts I may post a little less often. In the meantime, please keep coming, leave comments (they’re what keeps me going!) and vote for me at Photoblogs.org so that others notice and visit too.

Many of you know that I own a Koni-Omega 6×7 rangefinder. This is a big beast of a camera, which takes great pictures (especially with the super-sharp 60mm and 90mm lenses I have for it).

I love the pictures it takes, but I don’t love using it. It’s big, it’s hard to carry, and it can be tricky to focus. As a result, I don’t use it very often, and it instead sits on my shelf.

When I shoot MF these days, I find myself going for the Yashicamat TLR more often than not. As a result, I’m thinking the Koni and going to a slightly more compact and versatile system — a Mamiya C330 or C33 TLR. I owned a (poorly cared for) C220 in the past and it took great pictures, when it was focussed correctly.

Am I crazy? Will I regret this move? Does anyone want to buy the Koni?
