Looking for cameras?

hey if anyone is still looking to buy a camera, there is a pawn shop downtown aurora, close to the train station called arenkills pawn shop, that has a larger variety of 35mm camera and lenses. It is a iffy part of town but other than that, they have a good selection.

One of my favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I could go on and on about why I like him so much...but I won't.

My top 3 reasons are as follows;

Penn used a large format camera.

He was simple and that he used a little props as he could and still make a picture dramatic.

He shot for Vogue, one of my favorite magazines.

Analog - The last one out, please turn the light on

I recently read this article from Wired about the vanishing commercial darkrooms in London. It makes me a little nostalgic for the time that I had a color darkroom with two enlargers setup in a little room in the basement. Most darkrooms were not that pretty but I prefer a traditional contact sheet to a digital laser print any day. Take a look, there is also a nice interview with the artist (Richard Nicholson) about the work.
