Visiting History

I had an opportunity yesterday to capture some memories of a home that has apparently been vacant since 1973.  It is so interesting to just think about the fact that at one point, this would have been a vibrant home filled with smiles and laughter.  An intriguing piece of history.

The Latest From Hassleblad

The Hasselblad was my first professional camera after graduating college with my photography diploma in 1990.  Worth a small fortune, however I was fortunate enough to begin working for another photographer and worked it off over some time.  It was a totally manual camera, with the special “speed wind dial” – WOW – how much camera’s have changed in 20+ years!  You can now pick up the latest Hasselblad camera boasting 200 – yes – Two Hundred megapixels…for a mere $45,000 – now shipping

Hasselblad's H4D-200MS is yet another upgrade to its H4D camera line that we want badly, but wouldn't have a need -- or a budget -- for. This latest piece of kit is nearly identical to the 50 megapixel H4D-50MS externally, but internally adds an astonishing 150 more megapixels to the mix -- yes, that's an astounding 200 megapixels! Don't feel forgotten just yet if you have the older model, though, as Hasselblad can upgrade your sensor for €7,000 (roughly $10,000) -- a great deal considering the full kit costs €32,000 (about $45,000). With that said, we should note that details are null on the medium-format sensor's native resolution -- similar to the multi-shot feature on the 50MS, the new 200MS combines six shots to create ridiculously detailed 200 megapixel still images, and it handles less intensive photos with a four-shot 50 megapixel still mode. Should you dare to venture outside the studio, there's a 50 megapixel single-shot live mode for quick shots as well. Excuse us while we wrap our heads around the sheer number of pixels; you'll find more info after the break in the meantime.

Best Gas Mileage Ever!

This summer gas prices are expected to hit $1.50 a litre!  Everyone is looking for options on how to conserve and get the best mileage out of their vehicles.  The worst part is…we have an amazing company right here in Canada that makes electric vehicles – vehicles that are produced and exported all over the world, but…they are not legal in Canada.  I figure Rick Mercer is the best one to give you more details, so enjoy the clip

Dear 16 Year Old Me

 

In 1998 Ralph was diagnosed with melanoma after relative noticed a spot on his skin.  There was a biopsy and then he was scheduled for surgery with a plastic surgeon.  The surgeon removed a large chunk of skin from the base of his neck, only to realize a second surgery was required to completely remove it.  Ralph is not one to be out in the sun, however as a child and teen – “sunburns where and annual event”. 

“Your skin is like an elephant – it never forgets”  Be good to your skin.

Election Results

With so much devastation in our world today, the events over the last few days have been a good change…the royal wedding, followed by the bin laden event, and finally the Canadian Elections Results!  Canada now has a Conservative Majority Government, with and NDP Minority.  “Stephen Harper's Conservatives, win their first majority, defeating Jack Layton's NDP. NDP passes Liberals as the official opposition, with the largest representation from Quebec; NDP previously had little presence in Quebec. Liberals fall to their lowest seat count in history, party leader Michael Ignatieff loses own seat. BQ support evaporates to the NDP; BQ left with only a rump of 4 seats in Quebec, party leader Gilles Duceppe loses own seat. Green Party leader Elizabeth May wins its first ever seat.”

I was really proud of those in the Arkona area – What a Great representation we had!  Here is a recap of our local results:
