Vanou got a good shot of me dancing the macarena on my knees taking those Oratoire St-Joseph pics the other night. •
It’s kind of funny cause I was just talking about last night with a friend, wondering when Nikon would catch up with Canon and come out with a full frame digital camera. For the non-photography instruits, the term full frame means that the camera sensor is a large as traditionnal 35mm film. Currently, digital camera sensors are significantly smaller and only the center portion of the image is recorded, thus resulting in cropped off edges. A 18mm lense on a digital camera is now more like a 24mm lense, a 50mm is more like a 70mm, etc.). Well, say hello to the new Nikon D3. 9 fps with AF tracking (11 without), ISO through the roof, dual compact flash storage plus wireless capabilities: “In a wireless environment, networks of up to five D3 and D300 cameras can be established. At a sports event, for example, photo editors could browse all thumbnails on each camera simultaneously, selecting (‘pulling’) the images they need, while the photographers continue shooting.” More on full frame cameras here. UPDATE: A good in-depth review of the D3 (with screenshots too). •

Series of pictures with Romanian “Nouveau Riche” fat topless sun-bathing men by photographer Cosmin Gradinaru. “Reach, socially respected, driving a luxury car escorted by breath taking ladies, these low culture (but with an image of maecenas, patron of arts) individuals, became a model for most young Romanian. I’m interested in presenting them as they are and revealing a social paradox.” •
