I’m a photography snob. There, I’ve said it. I only gave up my black and white darkroom a few years ago. I’m finally convinced that digital might just be as good as silver and I’m just now starting to learn the joys of having a camera in my iPhone.

At the recommendation of fellow iPhotographer Dutch Doscher, I’ve been playing with Old Camera – a neat iPhone app that offers a wide range of black and white fixes to boring old camera phone pictures.

I’ve got to admit, I really like this but I’m still waiting for an iPhone app that can duplicate the look of Verichrome Pan.

My first attempt at astrophotography.

Basically I attach my D80 to the back of an LX200 using a special adapter and *presto* the telescope becomes a super telephoto with a 2500 mm focal length. This is actually three images combined into one so I could get the whole of the Moon into one frame.

I’ll put up a cleaner version tomorrow.

Yesterday I had the privilege of helping out at the US Olympic Committee’s Countdown to Vancouver event in New York’s Rockefeller Center.

There to lend support and encouragement to the US Team hopefuls were members of the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” men’s hockey team.

A lot of times we talk about those pre-Internet and pre-ubiquitous 24/7 media moments when the whole world really felt like it had stopped still. It’s neat though to actually meet the participants in those moments live in the flesh

Here are the rest of my pictures from the day:
