A look at my infrared camera | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/a-look-at-my-infrared-camera
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. A look at my infrared camera. July 15, 2010. Though it’s not film, this is truly a beat-up camera. I’ve had it for a pretty long time and it’s based off of a Nikon D100 camera body. To convert a digital camera to IR you have to do two things. The IR cutting filter that is over most camera sensors must be removed, and the camera’s firmware must be adjusted to only shoot monochromatic images. Of course, just know that while in theory it&#...Considering...

So long Kodachrome | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/so-long-kodachrome
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. July 23, 2010. The last roll of Kodachrome was processed this week. I won’t make any cheesy Paul Simon references like the ones I’ve heard on the news. All I will say is that for the people who made their living on this film platform it is truly the end of an amazing era in photographic history. The other thing. I’ll say is that those people are probably doing just fine, and are still producing fantastic images. August 29, 2010 at 4:59 pm. Enter your...

What Will History Look Like in 2110? | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/what-will-history-look-like-in-2110
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. What Will History Look Like in 2110? August 2, 2010. I took the family to Washington DC last week to visit the museums and teach our six year old a bit of history. On the tour of the Capital building it really struck me how much history is preserved there and how much respect our founding fathers gave to the preservation of history, and historical items. That made me wonder: What is our generation leaving behind? Filed in Philosophical Musings. You a...

If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Film vs. Digital (part 2 of 3). February 24, 2010. If you missed part 1 of this discussion please scroll down one post and then come back to this. If you have already seen part 1, welcome back! I suppose this discussion should have been titled: “Should schools abandon film in their teaching? But that seemed like a pretty long title. I sincerely appreciate the comments that this subject has received, but I do want to make a few things clear. March 1, ...

If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Wow, that was a long break! July 3, 2010. I miss writing about what I love to do. It’s just that it seems the more I’m doing this whole “business” thing, the less I shoot. BOO! Well, I have one beat-up camera to show you soon that I have been using quite a lot. Details soon.

Interview with Jason Domingues | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/03/28/interview-with-jason-domingues
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Interview with Jason Domingues. March 28, 2010. I met Jason a few years ago in Austin, Texas and have always admired his work. We’ve kept up with each other over the years on Facebook and at the occasional photo convention. I recently saw one of Jason’s tweets that had a photo of his new toy. (well new to him) it was a 1970s era Yashica G 35mm camera. BC: Was there an event you can point to that prompted you to make a career of creating photographs?

If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Film vs. Digital (part 3of3). March 16, 2010. If you have not read parts one and two of this discussion, scroll down a bit and check them out. I would like your feedback. After graduating, my first job at a commercial studio had me using the Leaf DCB. Okay, enough about me, this article is really about the debate about whether teaching film should be dropped from photo school curriculums. I wrote the above description of my past to communicate th...

Film vs. Digital…Really? (part 1 of 3) | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/02/14/film-vs-digital-really-part-1-of-three
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Film vs. Digital…Really? Part 1 of 3). February 14, 2010. I can’t believe this is even an issue in 2010 but here we go. It’s been over ten years since the revolution came and went but the debate rages on. This time in the halls of academia. Naturally this began a lively discussion and before long there were many opinions being given on both sides of the debate. I have a lot more to say, and history to share on this subject, but first I would like...

Fun Stuff on the Way | The Beat-up Camera
https://thebeatupcamera.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/fun-stuff-on-the-way
If your camera gear is pretty, you need to shoot more. Fun Stuff on the Way. March 2, 2010. It seems like every spring I load up on the stuff that I either need or want to use for the next year. Not really huge purchases, I have all the major equipment I need, but this is the little stuff that makes work fun. So what’s on the shopping list? Variety of vintage film cameras (I’m using them for a specific project, but it seems like only half of them work, so it takes several.). Filed in Gadgets and Gear.
