Subject:The Digital Harinezumi, my new favorite toy
Time:05:08 pm

Originally published at Wedding Photography Blog by Los Angeles Photographer Ian Grant. Please leave any comments there.

This my friends has been my favorite new purchase as of late.  It’s called the Digital Harinezumi camera and it’s about as cheap as it gets.  The camera sports pretty much plastic everything, a joke viewfinder, and looks like an old 110 camera.  That’s where the fun comes in, this company called SuperHeadz which is based out of Japan designed this camera to shoot video that looks like your grandfathers 8mm film.  It shoots 25fps, so it automatically has a distinct film roughness and it also doesn’t shoot any audio.  SuperHeadz also color timed it so it looks a little purple, and has super vibrant colors at times.  Focus is questionable, it has horrible lens flares, and vignettes like nobody’s business.  Basically it’s the exact opposite of my beautiful 5DM2.

So with that, it’s going to be documenting our New Zealand honeymoon coming up.  When our future offspring see our memories, they’re going to think we grew up in the 40’s before the advent of clear vision!  I’m doing some good testing with it right now and actually bought a makeshift underwater housing for it the other day.  FYI: They just released a new version 2.0 camera which does record audio and B&W video.  Lots of exciting things to come!  See a test video with it below with our favorite neglected pets.

Subject:Newborn babies! Our new favorite photo subjects!

A new goal for 2010 [it's coming up!] is to expand a bit more into newborns! Weddings, headshots, and newborns!  All the fun things in life!  One of Tanya’s good friends just had a baby the other day, so we went and visited the hospital to sneak a peek and get a few photos!

As you can tell Tanya is in love- we’re not quite ready to have kids ourselves, so we can have our fun taking photos.

Subject:O, The Terror
Time:12:09 am
Letters to a Young Poet - Rainer Maria Rilke

But fear of the inexplicable has not alone impoverished the existence of the individual; the relationship between one human being and another has also been cramped by it, as though it had been lifted out of the riverbed of endless possibilities and set down in a fallow spot on the bank, to which nothing happens. For it is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope.

But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive and will himself draw exhaustively from his own existence. For if we think of this existence of the individual as a larger or smaller room, it appears evident that most people learn to know only a corner of their room, a place by the window, a strip of floor on which they walk up and down. Thus they have a certain security. And yet that dangerous insecurity is so much more human which drives the prisoners in Poe's stories to feel out the shapes of their horrible dungeons and not be strangers to the unspeakable terror of their abode.

Subject:Firestone Winery Wedding Details Shoot
Time:02:18 pm

Originally published at Wedding Photography Blog by Los Angeles Photographer Ian Grant. Please leave any comments there.

A couple weeks ago Tanya, myself, and my wedding biz friends Joy Proctor of Joy de Vivre and Kelly Kaufman of Florette Designs headed up to Firestone Winery near Santa Barbara for a fun little details shoot! I love shooting details and love going to Firestone, so it was a bit of a no-brainer. Kelly and Joy were able to put together a gorgeous little collection of rustic wedding details complete with chandeliers, beautiful vintage medicine bottles, and a whole assortment of floral bouquets.

It also looks like it got picked up on Style me Pretty today, so that’s pretty neat!
You can see more of our wedding details on Distinctphoto.com.
