taken with the [adjective] bendycam

I've become rather fond of shooting with my latest DIY lens creation, the indefatigable bendycam 19:

It's the one on the far left.

I've fixed it's inherent need to escape and it's become a constant companion on many of my photo wanders around San Francisco. I've recently discovered, however, it's not the pictures it takes that people have grown to like - it's the adjectives used to describe it. To keep up, I've started to take some liberties describing the Bendycam 19.

It started out as simply indefatigable, but it's moved on to being seasick, combustible and even ficticious. Bendycam is comesitble, discombobulate and reticulated. Bendycam is unstoppable and immutable, but, despite it's near magical powers, I have a problem. I'm starting to exhaust even my reserve supplies of adjectives :( If you have any spare to describe this nearly omnipotent device please let me know :)

i heard it on the intertubes

A few weeks ago at the caliber SF photowalk I was approached by the always awesome Julie Michelle to participate in a couple of bits of online fun.
Going up online today was my photo-writeup-thingy about living in SF on iLiveHereSF.com:

The tiny door strikes again.


During the shoot, using my deft lens handling skills, I managed to totally destroy a lens filter: http://calibersf.com/2010/09/07/use-protection/

I also was interviewed by Julie earlier on about some of my odd photo hackery - you can find the interview here: http://calibersf.com/2010/08/11/through-their-lens-bhautik-joshi/

Much thanks to CaliberSF and Julie for all this!

The 19mm is nuts - more pics will be posted as I take 'em:

Warp speed, Mr Sulu

Midweek, I photowalked with the always awesome Julie Michelle. More on that a bit later...

Got a new spot to hang out in-between buses in the mornings - at the new Temporary Transbay terminal. Plenty of new angles to find :)
