More Kodak Duaflex IV shots

I've been wanting to photograph this old truck for a while. Now, armed with
the Kodak Duaflex I figured I would stop and shoot it vintage style.

Vintage Photography With No Film

So, here are a few completely random quickie snap-shots using the D80
attached via a cardboard tube to an old Kodak Duaflex IV (72mm lens). I
stole this idea from someone on the Internet who stole this idea from
someone else on the Internet and so on.  The effect is quite nice, and
quite vintage. Hopefully tomorrow I can make some more. (note, if you
see no images, come back later, I am in the process of switching web hosts).

Cold

Yesterday was fall. Today was winter, at least as far as the mountains of Eldorado county were concerned.

This is what the lake looked like in the morning. Amazing.

It's that time of year again!

October/November. The best 2 months of the year are here. So, we pushed the Trooper over the hill to the apple orchards.

Omodaka + 6% DokiDoki Girls

Of the 4 bands playing on Saturday in Peace Plaza, I was most interested in seeing electronic act known as Omodaka. His audio/visual performance was accompanied by the dancing 6% DokiDoki girls. I took so many photos of this awesome event that I decided to give Omodaka and the 6% DokiDoki Girls their own post. It was such a cool show we had to stay late Sunday and watch their "official" concert
at Yoshis.  We ended up lucking out because they went on first and we were able to leave by 9:00pm which got us home by 1:00am.

Omodaka jamming on the Nintendo DS...

Some shots from a cool weekend in SF...

So Erin and Scott came in on Thursday and then on Friday we drove over
to San Fran and stayed the weekend. As per usual, we stayed in Japantown.
This weekend was also the Grand Opening of the new cultural center, which
was awesome.

4:15 is what I was waiting for (see following post)

A few high lights from Hot August Nights

Now, I am not so much into the cars represented at the Hot August Nights events, but there were a few nice one's that stood out from the rest. Hot August Nights events only allow cars from the 50s and 60s. I think maybe up to 1970 or something, which to me, is right before when I really started liking cars. So that kind of makes things a little boring for me, since most of the cars are not really all that "cool" to me. I really don't understand why anyone in their right mind would paint a car powder blue, or pink and purple, or lime green. But I guess that's how it was back then??? Anyway, the following photos are of a few things that caught my eye.
