Posted on November 6, 2016 by Oleg Volk

A prepper’s dilemma

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Oleg Volk

Once an object of desire, now a functional antique

Posted on September 6, 2016 by Oleg Volk

An Olympus Pen F half-frame, a real classic. Once upon a time, nearly twenty years ago, I really wanted one of these but couldn’t justify the price. One of the major features, for me, was the default vertical framing. Getting … Continue reading →

Fun in infrared

Posted on September 5, 2016 by Oleg Volk

At Aribert Munzner’s art show in Minneapolis, which is still open to the public. Unlike the Minneapolis Institute of Art, which uses mostly fluorescent lights, Ari’s show had enough infrared for me to use the converted G2. That little camera is … Continue reading →

Dawn died.

Posted on August 6, 2016 by Oleg Volk

The end came entirely too fast for Dawn. The treatment should have started a year and a half earlier… I’d like to thank all who help to make the last-ditch effort to save her. She was a very good person.
