Photography Blog

[MarkBarbieri]

At the suggestion of Barrie, I have started a photography blog. I'm not altogether certain what I'll do with it. It'll probably be a place for the sort of miscellaneous ramblings that I often post here. If you have any suggestions, feel free to suggest them.

I'll keep a link to it in my sig, so if you ever decide to look there and can't find this thread (even with this site's amazing search capabilities), you should be able to find the reference to it in my sig. That assumes, of course, that they don't do me like they did 0bli0.

Where do you find the time for all this? Don't you sleep?

Did I miss something? Were his photos so good they were deemed offensive?

If he's like me he doesn't have a life outside his puter & camera.

Yeah, that's great, but don't expect me to read it. I never read blogs. It's all a bunch of self absorbed nonsense, if you ask me. In fact, this whole stupid Internet thing is a fad. We'll be back to phones and films before you know it.

What about records and cassette tapes, I think the whole CD thing is overrated. Remember when you'd have a tape and it started to unravel and you'd try and reroll it back into the cassette. Ahh, the good ole days.

Tapes, schmapes. You can't beat a good cylinder. Now that's quality that lasts.

i was thinking fondly of my 8 track collection...where ever it might be.. chickie bauugh

i have a blog on my site....very popular, so far i'm the only one who has viewed it, which is fine, i like talking to myself and that way i don't get funny looks when i do it in public guess i could put a link but i'm pandering to the snapshot crowd who doesn't know a point and shoot from a pinhole( more along my technical expertise lines)

I have my great grandmother's cylinder player along with about a dozen Edison Records cylinders and I can tell you that the quality did not, in fact, last. Those wax cylinders are pretty fragile after 100 years. I don't have any completely in tact.

But I'm pretty sure 100 years from now my great-grandson will be telling his son "I have some of your great-grandfather's CD's. Those plastic discs are pretty fragile after 100 years. I don't have any without a scratch."

In case you're not aware of it... check out the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project, almost 8,000 cylinders that you can download or listen to online. There's some amazing stuff in there.
