Roxbury Arms

Upper Arlington, Ohio

May 25, 2024

An early 20th century mansion in one of the wealthiest parts of town, it was home to one wealthy family, then another in short order; then became part of an apartment complex, strangely.

This is the front of the house; its back is to the street, with much smaller apartment buildings between it and the street, and other apartment buildings surrounding it. It cannot be seen at all from the street. You have to know it exists to be able to find it at all. I was fascinated by it after I found it about it this last winter, and then saw an estate sale there in May, so of course I went.

Just the one apartment I went in was amazing. stairs and hallways and rooms all over the place. Interesting layout, beautiful old features.

I suppose I ought to introduce myself

I like taking photos with odd cameras. I am by no means a professional. I just have loads of cameras I've picked up second hand from various places, and like mucking about with them in different ways.

Right off the bat, I don't care about taking the perfect shot. That's boring to me. While I don't go out with the goal of intentionally taking wonky shots – I do actually try to make sure each shot is focused and exposed properly – quite a lot of my cameras are broken or weird in some way. My main film camera technically works, in that the lens attached to it is in good nick, and when I push the shutter button, it goes click. But the shutter fires inconsistently, and will often misfire at the lightest touch, it doesn't really fire at the speeds it's set to, the ISO dial is loose as hell and is always changing itself, and even if it wasn't doing that, the light meter really has no idea what light is in the first place.

It really only gets better from here. All of my cameras have some sort of physical malady by dint of being second hand, and in many cases, straight up antique, or because they're Holgas and have a deliberately imperfect design. I've got a couple of "toy cameras" as well, with cheap plastic lenses that make any given shot look a bit weird. None of these categories are mutually exclusive either.

But I also just like to do terrible things to both my cameras and the film I shoot on. My favourite thing to do is shove the wrong format film into the cameras. Sometimes I don't feel like cutting down film to fit into my 127 cameras, so I'll cram a 35mm roll in there. Or I'll stick one into one of my 120 or 620 cameras just for the hell of it. I like to redscale film, soup it, and just generally fuck it up before and after shooting. When I develop the film here at home, I don't put a lot of attention into making sure everything is perfect down to the tenth of a degree and to the second. I am not that fussed about any of it, frankly. As long as the roll comes out of the tank with photos on it, I'm happy. If they're messed up, whatever. That's part of the fun.

Right now, I'm slowly working through uploading my backlog over here. I've got even more photos on deviantART, and I post them to Patreon a month before I put them anywhere else. I also try to remember to put prints up, but that's a whole process on its own. In addition to uploading my backlog, I've been spending much of my time just working on scanning and editing a whole other backlog of negatives.

And according to Lightroom, right now that comes down to nearly 400 photos that I've yet to post, and a further 5,000-odd that I've not even looked at for editing. Plus the five or six rolls sitting on my printer waiting to be scanned.

You'll find a mix of birdwatching and urban photography, along with some random other things. I have favourite subjects I like to go back to again and again, and you'll get used to seeing them through a variety of lenses.

TL;DR, I take a lot of photos, many of them odd or wonky, and I'm never going to be done with this backlog. And the photos I have in Lightroom are only from the last few years. Multiple hard drive crashes have caused me to lose all of my digital photos a few times over.

Subject: Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Location: Central Alabama Camera Model: Canon EOS 350D (EOS Digital Rebel XT) Focal Length: 28 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Exposure: 8 sec ISO: 800 It has been a while since I have used my old Canon camera. All the camera needed was a new battery, a little dusting off, and she was good to go again. I wasn’t able to see the comet with my eye so it took a little trial and…

I was gifted a Canon Rebel XT, EOS 350D by my father tonight. It’s from 2005 but it’s still a seriously awesome camera. Thank you, so much.

Digital Camera Rating Guide

Many of us use digital cameras to take our pictures for a variety of functions and events. We need a good digital camera to take these fantastic pictures. To help us with choosing a good digital camera we can use digital camera ratings. These ratings will enable us to select the camera that will be suited for our photographic abilities.

To see if we have found a reliable way to choose a digital camera we can look at digital camera buyer’s guides, or photography magazines to select the criteria that will help us. These various digital camera ratings will let us see how the different digital cameras perform in value for money, the handling of the camera, the performance of the camera and the various features that can be found.

When we look at the digital camera ratings for cameras like Minolta, Nikon and Pentax we need to see the performance of these types of digital cameras in different digital camera ratings. The ratings will briefly cover the aspects of how good the optics in the digital camera of your choice is.

The rating should state if you have a digital camera that will provide you with pictures that are clear and sharp. You will also need to know if you are selecting a digital camera that is good for an absolute beginner to digital photography, a semi-serious photographer, an individual who is taking pictures for as a hobby.

Additionally the different digital cameras must be useable by the professional photographer. With the digital camera ratings you can also investigate how the camera’s handling is. You will need to what your selected digital cameras, like the Canon Rebel Digital XT, feels like as you take pictures in different situations.

This means that you should see if there is any way to hold the camera comfortably. The digital camera ratings will inform you about the control layout. You should be able to read and understand what is on the control layout. With a digital camera rating you can also see what types of features are found on the digital camera.

These various features will let you see if there is a menu system that will let you navigate through the different items that you have on your selection of digital cameras. When you look through the different digital camera ratings you should note how the exposure and the metering modes are for the various digital cameras.

With this newfound knowledge of the digital camera ratings tucked under your belt, it will become easy enough for you to choose a new digital camera.

The Big Shuffle *or* Why I Finally Stopped Waiting For Canon To Catch Up and Decided To Embrace Sexy FujiFilm and Get Me My ‘KT1000′...

(cough cough... woah... it’s dusty in here... here, just let me pull this old tarp off the blog and clear a spot for us to sit... it’s been a while... cobwebs on the interwebs... cough... last post 2 years ago... I’ve been... elsewhere...) A few days before xmas I bought me a new camera. Moving brands from a feet-dragging Canon to Fuji. Got me a Fuji X-T20. LOVIN’ IT! Finally. After a number of years, possibly the entire time I’ve been digital, but most certainly the last five or so I’ve been aching for a change. Really, all I’ve ever wanted was a digital version of my Pentax K1000. Back in early 2006 when I 'sold out and went digital' the first thing I told the salesperson was "I'm looking for a digital version of my K1000. A simple workhorse. That's it." The guy sold me a Canon Rebel XT and my journey began. I've since been through two more DSLRs and I've never really been... satisfied. In '08 I moved up to a Canon 40D as more of a status piece to play the part of a 'photographer' to impress people who are impressed by big, complex looking things. Shortly after that move I realized I hated shooting weddings and was not interested in commercial photography and I was lugging around this enormous hunk of camera and 'gear' for nothing. I wanted to 'pare down'. In 2012, right before moving into a Canon T2i (a mostly linear move at the time, spec wise, from my...shudder... 'prosumer' 40D) I wrote a treatise, a plea, a rant about 'wanting my KT1000'. At the time the major companies were inching into mirrorless and more 'retro' styles, Olympus at the time had some nice looking ideas, but nothing mirrorless, at the time, came close to the actual SLR. Mirrorless was still dancing in the realm of 'point and shoots'. As much as I liked the aesthetics and feel of some of them, they were mostly too 'automatic' and mostly without viewfinders. The rangefinder models were nice, but.. again, I want the viewfinder above the lens. I wanted that feel. Really, I wanted a smaller bodied SLR noting that technology must finally be able to accomplish it. That is still yet to be and lo, back in those bygone days of 2011-2012 was nothing but a pipe dream. I was considering mirrorless back then, but nothing had the specs I wanted. So, I got the T2i. Got some eye-rolls at one of the local camera chains here in Toronto as my wanting to move sideways instead of up in the ‘gear’ department meant I was an amateur hobbiest in their eyes and the guy seemed more interested in making a 3 grand sale rather than a $700 one. “How could this guy want to go from a 40D to a T2i? Especially when the T3i is out and has that tilty screen??? He must not know what he’s talking about.” I did. And I do. And I never returned to that store, bringing my linear move to it’s competitor who was cool and not all photog-snobby. It was SO much smaller! Adding it to the monstrous 15-85mm and 'fantastic plastic' 50mm & 75-300mm in my kit I was... still bulky. Still too damn much stuff. But I made do and had some good times with T2i. But I pined for the old days of jamming my K1000 in a jacket pocket to get it out of the rain and plopping it into a small bag. The treatise was written and I had actually sent it to Pentax in hopes that they'd run with it. That my, absolute non-influential photographic self could move a corporation to make ME a camera. Just for me.

Needless to say, Pentax didn't do anything with my idea or any other good idea since... oh 1983 or so... and I had to wait... now seven years for the technology to catch up to my desire (and my bankbook to catch up to that) to have a digital version of my K1000.

I just bought a Fuji X-T20 (X-tra Trout, baby, and STILL don't forget it) and so far I am in heaven. I can't afford the top line fare and, again, I don't really need it. Specs between the X-T20 and the X-T2 are negligible for the cost and my purpose in my opinion. I now have a small, fairly sturdy, SLR-like mirrorless camera that, when I dumb it down enough, has the manual functionality and feel of my old precious. I'm still working on customizing it (may take a couple months to get it exactly where I want it as there are WAY too many bells-and-whistles inside this thing for me to ever need) but it feels SO good. It's got an aperture ring on the lens! On the LENS! You don't know how good that feels to me having shot with EOS camera systems for 13 years now... so good.

Anyway. I'm in heaven. An old friend Nick encouraged me a number of years ago to consider going to Fuji. He had just got the X100 and understood what I was looking for. As I really respect his work and opinion, that has always sat in my mind. But I wasn't ready then. I'm glad I decided to look into it recently and I'm glad to have found that Fuji decided to make me my camera. JUST FOR ME.

These are the first few shots taken (very first, of course, my wiener hound Idgie) and a vanity shot from my phone of my spankin’ new XtraTrout 20 next to my teacher, my mentor, my K1000.
