Chronicles of An Academic Groupie. Archive for May, 2007. Canada, The First Week. We’ve done a lot over the past week. Signed our lease, got our medicare cards updated and I joined Hart House so I can get back to the gym. Our apartment is right down town and actually 3 floors directly above our old one. Talk about luck. We move into the place in June. This is our little oasis in the middle of downtown Toronto. Not many people around either. After the crowds in Barcelona, this was nice. Frankfurt airport ...

I love doing new things that require a bit of planning. As previous posts show, I have started up photography again and been a bit successful with it. I recently had a photo chosen by the Torontoist to display on their site. If you want to see the photo go here. Since the Graflex uses bellows there was no reason why I...

Chronicles of An Academic Groupie. April 16, 2010 at 7:03 pm. Well, it’s been quite the journey. In the last post I talked about my two new cameras. The Monolta Autocord and my Pacemaker Crown Graflex. I have pretty much all I need to develop my skills with these two cameras but I must admit, the large format Crown is going to be a challenge. This image is also from the second batch with the same light leaks. In addition, the whole image is kind of a gray, Contrast is bad. The other images are mo...The M...

Chronicles of An Academic Groupie. Archive for March, 2007. The birth of a research assistant. I found a very nice two-star Pensión near the cathedral. Pensión Bellmirall is in a 14th-century house on a nice side street. We were very pleased with our room:. This one still had its original cover:. Every once in a while we would find little drafts and notes stuck inside the books:. I was very pleased at the two archives I needed to visit. The people at both the Archivo Diocesano. And the municipal archives.

Chronicles of An Academic Groupie. Dialing it in ………. April 21, 2010 at 11:36 pm. I’m finally starting to see results from my Autocord. I bought it on E Bay for an amazing price. The camera is like new, not even scratches on the flash bracket……. Also, during this time I had shot a few pics to try it out. My first roll came out with the negatives covered in scratches……. I was pleased with this since it was so bright and the light reflecting off the snow made it hard to figure out the exposure. My next set...
