I’ve set up a separate website for shots I’m taking with the Yaschica Electro. http://www.johndan.com/one/.[Warning: Large and mediocre images.]

Right now, it’s just test images. At some point in a week or two, I’ll shift over to a version of Bill Johnston’s “one camera, one lens, one film, one year” (with the Yashica rather than the Leica he strongly suggests) with either Ilford HP5+ 400 or Kodak Tri-X 400.

Madewaska Pond

Took the afternoon of and hiked out to Madewaska Pond near Saranac Lake. More (and larger) images at Flickr.

(I really need to fix the CSS so that the 590-pixel image class in my WordPress template doesn’t get knocked to the right unless insert several lines of padding text above them. Like so.)

WTSC Radio c. 1968 + 1972

When alumnus Ted Perkins visited Clarkson in 1968 and 1972, he brought his video camera to WTSC and WNTC, the student-run radio stations where he used to work. He has some additional footage that includes a station promo in the soundtrack.

KEXP Album Review Archive

reed_ny.jpg

KEXP’s Review Revue is scanning and posting the little sticker-based LP reviews that their DJs taped to albums added to the station’s collection. Ranging from Paul Simon’s Graceland to Sonic Youth’s Goo and more. The brevity and small size of the notes makes them amenable to hosting conversations among DJs posted in series, an antecedent to weblog comment communities. Above is the nearly filled cover of Lou Reed’s New York, which split the community a little:

“This doesn’t deserve H. It’s not lighting up my phones. I’d much rather play ‘This Gift’ than this 2nd rate MTV trend scooter music. So there.”

“Oh Phil, you are such a rock historian. Slip on an Aerosmith disc, maybe ‘Rocks’ or ‘Toys in the Attic’ next you’re spazzin’ over the ‘latest guitar thang.”

“Take a listen! ‘Endless Cycle’ is great! Lou & his many hats (+ cigarettes)!”

“The listeners on NNTNBT loved this disc.”

“Besto!!”

“Contrived anger for the masses.”

Beaker’s Ballad

I kept thinking that this couldn’t get any funnier, but about every ten seconds it does.
