Avalanche!
You weren't expecting that, were you?
It was dry last winter but the forecast this year is for moderate snow all month. I promise to deliver in small, easily-shovelled doses so as not to overwhelm you like this poor lass.

Quality
I haven't posted lately because I'm dissatisfied with the quality of the images as they appear on the blog.
I take a great deal of care to create good quality images (as good as the digital source allows) yet by the time they appear here, there is an amount of fuzzy that makes me unhappy. I suspect it is the link between my on-line storage and the blog. I'm working on finding a solution but I would like your help.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good photo storage site that still allows me to retain a privacy setting?

Home Movie Day 2013
Most cities hosted events last weekend, but this Saturday is Oakland's turn. The Center for Asian American Media is participating as well as anyone else who wants to bring along their own (or anyone else's they happen to have.)
Stop on by to view unique films you'll never have the chance to see again. Trust me, people have captured the most incredible/outrageous/hilarious/stunning images with their home movie cameras.

Union Station (1950)
directed by Rudolf Mate
director of photography Daniel L. Fapp
Within film noir, what actually exists at the final junction of vertices in single point perspective?
Is it fate? The past? The future?
An escape from or into the vortex?

eroding dancer
from a Biograph Serpentine Dance film
c.1895-1897
It looks like a splice combined with thick linear emulsion scratches but the emulsion also seems to be peeling away. Really we're lucky to have such an early treasure in any condition.
