This week I made my first trip to Yosemite, along with my family. All I can say is Yosemite is even more spectacular than I could have hoped for.

Argus C3

The latest member of the family… A late model Argus C3 with case. Everything works great, and there was an exposed roll of film inside!


Never Stop Growing

I’ve been shooting a lot of film this year and developing the black & white myself. It has been a really fun and energizing process so far, and I’m looking forward to shooting more as the year wears on. This one was taken with a Contax G1 rangefinder on Fomapan 100 and stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 for 60 minutes.

Happy Father’s Day! (And an Announcement)

Boy Hocter 2.0

Hocter, Boy 2.0

Two years ago, on Father’s Day 2009, I introduced you to my son Sam, who was a fetus at the time. He’s now a happy and healthy 19-month-old. He’s the joy of my life, and the frequent subject of my photography and star of my blog.

It’s only fitting that I take this opportunity, on Father’s Day 2011, to introduce you to my second son! Like Sam, he will be born in November, and I’m sure he will be every bit as awesome. He will undoubtedly be the subject of many, many, many of my photographs.

So here he is, in his first photograph, which I didn’t take but I’m all too happy to steal and share with you. Just like Sam, he’s a little bit camera shy in utero. :)

I saw this while I was picking up Sam at daycare, so I took a couple of seconds to capture it on my phone with the Camera 360 app.

Speedliter’s Handbook Found

The delivery company finally found my lost copy of Syl Arena’s Speedliter’s Handbook. I have no idea where it’s been the last week since they claimed to have delivered it, but it finally turned up on my doorstep yesterday, slightly damp but none the worse for wear.
