Hermitage Artist in Residency
Since I have been going non-stop after arriving at the Hermitage (spending most of my time photographing and researching in North Port), I thought I would take today off, only use my iPhone camera, and get acquainted with the neighbors, the Anoles. Hi Anoles!

Thanks for the collard greens, J.B.
This battery should have stopped working awhile ago. Not depicted is a swollen backside that made it nearly impossible to remove. Ah, the inherent limitations of the photographic medium.
After my first shoot with a Phase One P45+, I have one image somewhat processed and have the following thoughts…
1) Aesthetic and color rendering appear closer to film substrate than 35mm full-frame DSLRs
2) Wondering how much time it will take to get used to the low resolution screen after being pampered by Apple and Canon products. I can understand the longing for an IQ series digital back and the much improved screens
3) The Zeiss glass from the Contax 645 does look similar to the Zeiss ZE primes when working with the digital format
4) Contemplating doing a film versus digital comparison… not with 4x5 as everyone else seems to do, but with Fujichrome Velvia 120 film fluid-mount scanned on the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000… I’m not sold on the resolution without doing some large exhibition prints
5) I’m probably going to need to allot a month or more to mastering a Capture One workflow. After about an hour of fiddling, it seems that processing .IIQ files from Adobe Camera Raw is subpar
6) I can’t believe there is a dead pixel in the sensor
Missing Snap! Orlando
I am disappointed I am going to miss Snap! Orlando, as colleagues Gregory Scott and Gregg Segal will be featured. Soon, at long last, the academic year will be over. If only I was in Florida this week as opposed to next when I’ll be at The Hermitage Artist Retreat to begin my residency.
