Going Where No Man Has Gone Before

By Jon Roemer On 21 Jun ’10 · Leave a Comment

You have to think that at some point in the past man stood on the shore and looked out across the water. Behind him was the land he knew, in front of him the water, the horizon, and the sky. Not having the ability to go to the sky, nor having the ability to travel [...]

Et tu, iPad?

By Jon Roemer On 20 Apr ’10 · 2 Comments

For the moment I’m watching the iPad from afar. Already the owner of an iPhone and a laptop, the iPad is not jumping out at me as a necessity. You can’t tether to it when shooting without a laptop or a computer in the middle, so no benefit there. You can do what you can [...]

Undercover at the KGB Bar

By Jon Roemer On 15 Apr ’10 · 1 Comment

A week ago Friday I was at the KGB Bar on East 4th in NYC to photograph writers reading from their works. The light in the bar was as low as low can get. Not wanting to disturb the activity with a flash, I had the bartender turn all the fixtures up full. This provided [...]

P-P-P-Polaroid Face

By Jon Roemer On 9 Jan ’10 · Leave a Comment

I’ve seen this popping up on photo blogs (H2H, APE, and PFI) – Lady GaGa has been named Creative Director at Polaroid.

How can we bridge what is so tangible about the instant film Polaroid camera with what is so, um, kind of immediate about the digital camera?

Hmm, [...]

Canon’s New TS-E Lenses (17 and 24 II) vs. Medium Format

By Jon Roemer On 7 Dec ’09 · 2 Comments

I have posted reports on both of Canon’s new TS-E lenses (aka tilt/shift), the 17mm f/4L and the 24mm f/3.5L II, and I have been using them full on since receiving them earlier this year. They’re great optics. It’s clear how much of an improvement they are and how much they stand out the first [...]

iPhone, iPhone, What Do You See?

By Jon Roemer On 16 Nov ’09 · Leave a Comment

One change with new web site and blog is the ability for both to format themselves on the iPhone and on other touch-type smart phones. This makes for quicker loading and painless viewing of both sites when seen by those on the go.
