In Camera Reviews, "My Favorite View Cameras." Slightly outdated, since it was written in 2003. In 2003 it was slightly out of touch.

And, in Columns and Essays, "Train Your Brain...to Guess Exposure," a 1997 article that's basically an exquisite elaboration of the Sunny 16 rule. My proudest accomplishment.

I loved the Train Your Brain To Guess Exposure. I bought a Zorki-4 rangefinder recently and did something similar to his approach, but regardless, I had no meter whatsoever and still came out with very good exposures on all 36. I was pumped to have not forgotten how to guess exposure like that after years of not doing it.

In short, I had a blast and got some great pics and had great fun with a new/old camera.

Train your Brain to Guess Exposure- too bad these days fewer people practice what's in the article- has another step as well. I used to go to art galleries and look at paintings and guess what lens,exposure, lighting, filters, and printing I would use to create the same images. Painters always cheated too.

This is a good format, rather like a 'weekly updates' blog entry for those of us who don't roam the deepest reaches of every site we visit, every time. I like it!
