Mattebox is a cool new-ish app for the iPhone, that takes its inspiration from the Konica Hexar AF:

“I modeled Mattebox after the legendary Konica Hexar, a luxury point and shoot which is powerful enough for the professional photographer, yet easy enough for the complete beginner. With amazing image quality, intelligent controls and a clear, beautiful viewfinder, it’s easy to see why the Hexar still has a fanatical following.

I borrowed the Hexar’s moving brightlines, which discreetly indicate the aspect ratio and focal distance. From the Mamiya 7, I took the superimposed shutter speeds. Next, I created a custom dual-stage shutter release button. This gives you consolidated focus and exposure lock. Most importantly, I took the indefinable feeling of using the Hexar, and made I sure Mattebox gave me that same feeling.”

After a few hours of playing with it, I think Ben has come pretty close to hitting the mark, and I suspect is even closer if you’ve got an iPhone 4s.

Book ‘em, Dano.

Soooo, my Leica D-Lux 3 was getting a bit long in the tooth and not seeing much action and I got some money for Christmas and I’d read nothing but good things about Fuji’s new compact X-series camera and….

64 posted photos and counting!

Took Domino and I by surprise tonight! It was warm-ish and dry when we got pizza, but by halftime of the playoff game, it was like this.

Yikes!

Empty Chair, August, 2012, originally uploaded by Maggie Osterberg.

So, on the day of the first snow of the new year, I found a photo from last Summer. Have a seat and warm up a bit.

Taken with my M4-P / Jupiter-8 rig, on Kodak’s Portra film, processed and scanned by Walgreens’, because I still can’t find my film scanner!

He’s The Man.

What else can I say?
