I Heart Rangefinders

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

I used to think concert photography went with SLR cameras like eggs went with ham. Well, cancel that side of ham and bring me some of that rangefinder bacon. In this article I confront life after SLRs, and schlep a couple of Leica rangefinder cameras to a Heart concert. | Read the article.

Masochism? Anachronism!

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Most anachronistic people were fashionable once. One day, they’re the epitome of style. The next day, they’re passé — victims of passive indifference to the fickle tastes of humanity. Me?

The Accidental Blogger

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Fresh from the whoduthunkit files comes another newflash — I am now a guest columnist for The Leica Blog, and will occasionally hack out… oops… I mean “craft” a column for them, which is called “f/Egor.” Since Leica saw fit to give me my own aperture stop, I reciprocated by granting them 30-day exclusive publication rights to each f/Egor article.
