Rainy nights in Portland, a last minute show and more . . .

This past week has been a busy one, with getting ready for a last minute show which is now hanging at Gauchos Brazilian Steakhouse 100 Commercial St. Portland, ME, for more information you on my show you can go here. Also with the past few days of rainy weather I have been really inspired, so I have been photographing a lot especially at night, you can see some photographs over on my website, and there are more below as well. This week I have been trying my hand at some digital pinhole photography with my DSLR after I came across this blog post earlier in the week. It has been very neat experimenting with it and getting the pinhole “just right”, not too big/small, getting a perfectly round hole etc. The whole digital thing is great because I am not wasting a bunch of film, though this digital pinhole work has showed me just how dirty my sensor is with what looks like a water mark or ring, and a bunch of other crap. So this week I am going to pick up a sensor cleaning kit and try cleaning it myself, but I am not looking forward to doing this task.

May Day immigration reform march and rally Portland, Maine 5/1/2010

The only thing I will say is this we are all immigrants to this country unless you are Native American, and we cannot do it without each other.

One World, One people, One Love.

Here are some photographs from the march up the West end of Congress Street, and the rally in Congress Square.

Here is some video that was shot yesterday, I love video, and I am hoping to do more soon with an actual video camera in the future. These videos where taken with my LX3 (good video, but terrible audio) so please don't expect too much.
