This would give the images a cleaner look and highlight the architectural aspects of the project. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The shoot took us about two hours and went extremely well due to the cooperation of on-site manager Josh Ogiba.

Lauren and Senior Designer Susie Chavez met us on-site to walk us through the incredible transformation of this project. This is an early century estate, that is just filled with craftsmanship. Staying true to the character of the home Lauren, and her team updated the house by removing walls, opening up spaces, modernizing all of the living areas and making the home more beautiful, comfortable and opulent then one could possibly imagine.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">When we arrived on the first day of shooting, Lauren and her team were fully prepared, having everything perfectly set and staged for the photo shoot. As someone who shoots nearly every day, I really appreciate all the hard work and preparation that they put forth to make the shoot run smoothly and allowing us to capture as many images as possible. Just look at the attention to detail in the images. This is what true high-end interior design is all about. Artistry in the home.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">You've read about Lauren and her team here before, and below is why her firm is considered on of the most exclusive and sought after Interior Design firms in the Chicagoland area. Enjoy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM-HFBnKMsJ4bVPAn9v5BAMjCIPrjepfLuXqkFuDmvxJH0zaat61FDuxgxC6m5S4NharnQJb9t6PNHzCo4gYCkkdHL8zcxhPxe12axNsvHroVKZ86_RordbxvlV2R_niVZ7QZIwZmrlao8N-8rJphdWyaQWeQ3a5M97hCdij3EZxt8s6T5fbUhTdNU0ljO/s1100/ns_1020613_24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They needed a shoot done for a magazine article and the turnaround time was almost immediate. Of course, you only get calls like that when your are already in the midst of a full schedule.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Michelle, Roher-Lauer met us on-site to outline the compositions she wanted and to do some quick staging.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We had only about an hour of iso to shoot but were able to work quickly and get what we needed. Processing the images began as soon as we were back at the studio that same evening.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We enjoyed working with Patrick and Michelle. Below are a few highlights.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhswj2oY_iy6l60R32NcLXG1PQLjB2TyQJAZKdnzA7NKQYgKKTaSNGALZRhjyqjXNAjBmPFcNwVn1KVRf_r8APpyO8mVatGi3GSY5hJ-Cn40da2CddhRXKDsze8vMHlR4hn6Gd5ZAXQlDvCEVoNsE-ygzb_ef6ksMDdhWTUSP1r_CVRJRP5GWZfZC4w86Uz/s1100/ns_1021125_37.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Cinespace is the largest film studio in the Midwest. It houses an impressive 36 active sound stages and over 1.6 million square feet of production space. Couple that with the numerous Cinespace studio locations spread across the US, Canada and Europe, and it's obvious why this is the studio of choice for feature film and television.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Key Interiors recently updated some of the office spaces for the key staff members at Cinespace.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Below are a few of our favorites.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfGW6u_ysq1PInH5eDAn-Q6T5-9QivBLtZlGlTieV4SQNJ9BfI8IkYpaPUGxpsnWlmaLznHHoj4jnql_8RxGv69zNPTHEv7FU4WvjDJ51mBZvxbMXDXRQQd_7oRwtbwRPmMi-GPjt7RjdUpJs99mmQqgBc_cEFlXYBTj3EEgiony_beKUp2pfgDi3E5sTM/s1100/ns_985507_19_TC_R.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfGW6u_ysq1PInH5eDAn-Q6T5-9QivBLtZlGlTieV4SQNJ9BfI8IkYpaPUGxpsnWlmaLznHHoj4jnql_8RxGv69zNPTHEv7FU4WvjDJ51mBZvxbMXDXRQQd_7oRwtbwRPmMi-GPjt7RjdUpJs99mmQqgBc_cEFlXYBTj3EEgiony_beKUp2pfgDi3E5sTM/s16000/ns_985507_19_TC_R.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi36bLEcckAfPR1jcONgzJ72bIQtwFvyAHgaWyDCmFIlQMNLp39M52P50d6HVSR0jAHMfs39B_5A2CTxuioG8H5vIkA03sepOk8so-nEP8Wx5mDtzb6LsVLJLLmk3lxa__HdJBOiVIQHYard6oCqcTTvDwVpSkOwG6Owwc3aMBkQ8_F15XuZz_0TomDdKOR/s1100/ns_988953_66_TC_R.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="734" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi36bLEcckAfPR1jcONgzJ72bIQtwFvyAHgaWyDCmFIlQMNLp39M52P50d6HVSR0jAHMfs39B_5A2CTxuioG8H5vIkA03sepOk8so-nEP8Wx5mDtzb6LsVLJLLmk3lxa__HdJBOiVIQHYard6oCqcTTvDwVpSkOwG6Owwc3aMBkQ8_F15XuZz_0TomDdKOR/s16000/ns_988953_66_TC_R.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-_jfBWu1LK6oDp74Xyw5-gFHjdgLov9dB_uLbl2CFBJiFRfvP1Sy7L352r5rTfMy4CGRJpgoR66VHZ4gApnZL79JNyicK88EFpXYEPipEFO8P2qm-39oZjvLc_1-h_zc9xeidHUrxtVUhxKAGNBz8bZQ3PyyfaM0eeEE-H4PNNf7nIxI4HNyRSXtXfHj/s1100/ns_989047_59_TC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW-_jfBWu1LK6oDp74Xyw5-gFHjdgLov9dB_uLbl2CFBJiFRfvP1Sy7L352r5rTfMy4CGRJpgoR66VHZ4gApnZL79JNyicK88EFpXYEPipEFO8P2qm-39oZjvLc_1-h_zc9xeidHUrxtVUhxKAGNBz8bZQ3PyyfaM0eeEE-H4PNNf7nIxI4HNyRSXtXfHj/s16000/ns_989047_59_TC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-IgpIoqcBM2UFF_PtwWk1Z6PpTPp4rnAXVdvQ1McGz3WTCk01zG0YXOhyphenhyphenZR6tdgjZEflGh1xm7H6MK1s86jlV-ROGgRXPnUzIZAFrsgAB0FrhwIV7ggsHXVpwyiSF0hFlxWWmpbctTsB69-4zXDB1e8LAMO2sPrJVePRomSClU5I1631LY9iDytv7zAQ/s1100/ns_985481_90_TC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="763" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-IgpIoqcBM2UFF_PtwWk1Z6PpTPp4rnAXVdvQ1McGz3WTCk01zG0YXOhyphenhyphenZR6tdgjZEflGh1xm7H6MK1s86jlV-ROGgRXPnUzIZAFrsgAB0FrhwIV7ggsHXVpwyiSF0hFlxWWmpbctTsB69-4zXDB1e8LAMO2sPrJVePRomSClU5I1631LY9iDytv7zAQ/s16000/ns_985481_90_TC.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR3xRn5MvAHsP0N8Pd0RVTae_dCv72OuGcW1ZKoU9wq2EPTBNE1BuIHBDrKmVzNzTGdTDqK5BTs7U_FWDj-R7_c65Hq5kHYTea0ySCI04ixAy6Jhp2_CJ-MYDdv9Z9pP9UWyPWAT8QumtPVh-jU6Ch2NtcPa47GZoHuVHP2t4KV-gGMJiJuXdXQxZmot_/s1100/ns_989019_30_TC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVR3xRn5MvAHsP0N8Pd0RVTae_dCv72OuGcW1ZKoU9wq2EPTBNE1BuIHBDrKmVzNzTGdTDqK5BTs7U_FWDj-R7_c65Hq5kHYTea0ySCI04ixAy6Jhp2_CJ-MYDdv9Z9pP9UWyPWAT8QumtPVh-jU6Ch2NtcPa47GZoHuVHP2t4KV-gGMJiJuXdXQxZmot_/s16000/ns_989019_30_TC.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p>Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617861283261807023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132421689891208557.post-83259869776739547122023-12-13T13:54:00.000-06:002023-12-13T13:54:30.312-06:00OUR BLOG HAS MOVED<p>Our blog has a new location!

Not digital fast, but still amazing service for 2005. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">We had recently photographed a couple of bands, and were looking at proofs with one of the band members and his wife Lori, when Lori said, “I wish we could do a photo shoot like that for my band”. ‘You’re in a band?” I asked? “Catfight”, she replied, “we play every week.” I had no idea. Before we knew it, we were scheduling a shoot for Catfight, which appears to still be playing regularly here in 2023.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The band worked hard and we all had a blast, going from several set and costumes changes. We photographed nearly 200 proofs, all on Fuji Astia 100F color reversal slide film. Studio lights used were four Photogenic Machine Studio Master II’s, firing through a couple of Calumet 48” soft boxes, a Westcott 40” umbrella, Photogenic Machine Studio Kick Lights and a Photogenic Machine Hair light. Cameras used were a Minolta XE-7 and a Minolta X-570 mounted on an MD-1 motor drive. We shot with Prime lenses consisting of a Kamero 100mm f2.8, a 58mm Rokkor F 1.2, and a 35mm Rokkor F1.8 for wide shots. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Below is a small sampling of the slides. These were all scanned full frame using a Minolta DiMage 5400 Scan Elite dedicated film scanner, with no enhancements or retouching. The final images did include some minor retouching, i.e., fixing wrinkles in the back drops, and small clean up. I could have used those, but I wanted you to see what the film looked like <i>before </i>any corrections were made. There is a magic about film that digital cannot reproduce.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Trust me, if they called, I would do this all over again. We had so much fun!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIMeiaCp_8OZzbOFrMgVA0PvFK5b0Ufhh7yZChyfXK6RldPKF-8luidfScpvVeRhVZeEBIcNkl-sPUcy_Q5NvitLp53mz-v47zkOq6Mb8X_tU4BTrx-QbIUfW5TWhTadaRfuj50EkenYEhGgDB0o3EZwTNdjbpxpJwQZessOtaTp3RQVajX45QnLel4FRh/s1640/TS_2005_026..jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Clean lines, inviting spaces, with custom furnishings throughout.

I’ve seen them move walls, raise ceilings, lower floors and add space where you didn’t think it was possible. The beauty is that the finished result seems to be what should have been done in the first place, and the update integrates perfectly with the original architecture.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">In these images a second story common bathroom was updated as were the master suite and bath. Looking at them, they appear to be period correct, yet they are modern and functional as they can be. They also added a hallway powder room in a space I don’t think existed before, along with a walk in closet complete with custom cabinetry. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Below are a few photos from the shoot.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">For those curious, all images were photographed using a Sony A850, with a 20mm Minolta and a 24mm Zeiss lens.

margin: 0in;">This past weekend I was editing a recent video for Marietta and wanted to add in a few stills. I keep a folder of outtakes from shoots for just such occasions when I need to use something that I know the client doesn’t already have. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">This was a test shot to verify the lighting I wanted, and I am sure I said something like ‘think of something pleasant’ just before I fired the shot. I think this photo caught Marietta off guard, which is why it made me smile.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">This was photographed using a Canon 5DMkII and a EF100mm lens at f/4. Lighting was one single Larson 22” soft-box mounted to a Photogenic Machine Studio Master II speedlight with a 48” gold reflector to add warmth to the shot.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqG5RA0FDXu42kPs0Lo55pFe-uIeKY2obmm0frEz-B2HUHh1bTUf_pl89xa6IDHtRUaJjYxYuhQ2ATDBRaae3Jmog7kZvrKOqg56PEWh6Cb8IS_SBD_ow8qQnJLxXwTDGarHr4UCMscCiuAd6lpiPBbprcNcENw2I3Oo8Yuv02fu0CoSh_814wp7gaeRxj/s1427/ns_CD5_7380_P_H_pp.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1427" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqG5RA0FDXu42kPs0Lo55pFe-uIeKY2obmm0frEz-B2HUHh1bTUf_pl89xa6IDHtRUaJjYxYuhQ2ATDBRaae3Jmog7kZvrKOqg56PEWh6Cb8IS_SBD_ow8qQnJLxXwTDGarHr4UCMscCiuAd6lpiPBbprcNcENw2I3Oo8Yuv02fu0CoSh_814wp7gaeRxj/s16000/ns_CD5_7380_P_H_pp.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p>Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617861283261807023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132421689891208557.post-6553741748861082542023-11-21T11:16:00.002-06:002023-11-21T11:16:43.348-06:00Creative Spotlight: JMD Builders<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">We were photographing a few projects for Jerry Dardick last year in Chicago's Gold Coast. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">We met Jerry on sight, and he took us through the challenges that had to be overcome in this particular remodel, which was overlooking Lake Michigan.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The extensive redesign involved moving walls, opening spaces, re-routing HVAC, and updating all essential systems. JMD has extensive capabilities and are specialist when it comes to high-end custom projects. The installations, finishes and furnishings are all of the finest quality. The end result as always with JMD is superb. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">For those curious, these images were shot using a Sony A850, Sony 7RII, & Sony A700 cameras. Minolta, Sony and Carl Zeiss lenses were used. All images were individually hand processed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;

We photographed several rooms but when it was time to shoot the dining room, Colleen Smithe-Parker insisted something was missing. Then she said, ‘I know’, and invited the home owner’s daughter to sit in the scene.

The lighting is by Photogenic Machine, Studio Master II, through a single Calumet 48” soft-box, mounted high and horizontally then angled down towards the scene. The flash did not fire and only the modeling lamp was used to add warmth to photograph.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0YunhxFzrRClTyashcnBzY14D3YYBftj9bEJO5HlKlw9Ks6CY_ujNIgDJgl4A95az0cpVT9yt-y5IKhQ6g1924OYap2-jLKsrwkCYEtX2IDWiK8cUr1XK65NeN8OOFIQW834zpLB3l9Zt6eD5jW0irXysB__3faehbDknIgrTFz54DSuI9lwq1abFYWF/s1100/ns_142714_00_A_F_TC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="726" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga0YunhxFzrRClTyashcnBzY14D3YYBftj9bEJO5HlKlw9Ks6CY_ujNIgDJgl4A95az0cpVT9yt-y5IKhQ6g1924OYap2-jLKsrwkCYEtX2IDWiK8cUr1XK65NeN8OOFIQW834zpLB3l9Zt6eD5jW0irXysB__3faehbDknIgrTFz54DSuI9lwq1abFYWF/s16000/ns_142714_00_A_F_TC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p>Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617861283261807023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132421689891208557.post-83753744725396156372023-11-15T14:05:00.002-06:002023-11-20T11:20:20.778-06:00Creative Spotlight: Lenore Weiss Studios<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">I received a call from Lenore a couple of years ago asking if she could book a shoot for a Chicago condo overlooking Navy Pier. I had been a fan of Lenore’s work for years and was excited to work with her.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Often, when someone is in need of an architect, they will also seek out a good interior designer to work with. There is such an advantage to using an architect and an interior designer in the early stages of your project to make sure that the finished product comes together perfectly, as the two fields can’t help but intertwine. But imagine if you will, working with an architect who <i>is</i> an interior designer? That’s Lenore. She is a master architect and a phenomenal interior designer. When I asked Lenore about this, she told me <i>“To be a good architect, you need to understand interior design, to be a good interior designer, you need to know architecture. My mind just can’t separate the two.” </i> I was floored.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">We shot two projects nearly back-to-back. Looking at the photographs, you will notice attention to detail that is out of this world.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">Lenore was recently featured in the fall edition of <i>Licensed Architect</i> magazine. An excellent read, and one that will have you reaching for the phone the next time you need an architect (and an interior designer). One call to Lenore covers both fields.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">There is so much to talk about with this project, but we will let the photography tell the story. By the way, we could have easily added another 25 images or so. Stay tuned as we select some highlights from another project by Lenore Weiss Studios. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;

A JC Penny 35-70, JC Penny 70-200, and a Minolta 50 1.7. This image is shot handheld with the 50 1.7, probably a f8 or f11 on Fuji G film.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The JC Penny lenses I later learned were manufacturer by Vivitar and sold to JC Penny under private label. The quality of which was absolutely first rate. I still have them. Back in the day, JC Penny had an extensive professional camera department, as most department stores did in the late 70’s. I miss that today.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">My trip lasted about 6 weeks, covering Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, California, Oregon and Idaho. I shot over 100 rolls of film, and have recently been scanning and printing them. This one was just selected at random. It’s not perfect, but not bad for a quick grab shot! Makes me want to order some fresh 35mm film and head out West.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">The image below was scanned full frame using a Minolta DiMage 5400 dedicated film scanner, no adjustments applied.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLHRxVFmBzMFwwOHHs8WcE_DAuUOtGL5HaXR3DdzwjIZ4Zs6VRsqNi-a_P26I30FDCMyv125SUdgdqCxVTJyZe0ZL2ki9qp5lNWBC022HYWGLI9tQN6h0n86_lMGOYBoTjt5Dyk_AsOGsR-f9bjg6kdqMqcMJKgOyiXt1IVprCRfj_dQLceEoruhjc56Yj/s1640/ns_3033_1997_0004_TC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1640" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLHRxVFmBzMFwwOHHs8WcE_DAuUOtGL5HaXR3DdzwjIZ4Zs6VRsqNi-a_P26I30FDCMyv125SUdgdqCxVTJyZe0ZL2ki9qp5lNWBC022HYWGLI9tQN6h0n86_lMGOYBoTjt5Dyk_AsOGsR-f9bjg6kdqMqcMJKgOyiXt1IVprCRfj_dQLceEoruhjc56Yj/s16000/ns_3033_1997_0004_TC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p>Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617861283261807023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132421689891208557.post-90625145984443086042023-11-02T11:41:00.000-05:002023-11-02T11:41:57.104-05:00Shot on Film: A Bygone Era - St. Louis 1964<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This was among a set of slides from the summer of 1964.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This particular family traveled South, then West that year for vacation.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I am certain that this was shot by the young man of the family, using his Argus 35HFM / half frame camera, which he is seen holding in many of the slides.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">I love the way one can flash back in time when you look at an old photograph. Imagine what the onlookers were thinking as the St. Louis Arch was being constructed. It’s still considered and engineer feat and is truly a national landmark. If you look closely, you can see a number of spectators in the background. No one taking selfies, no one texting, and no one on a cell phone. The biggest distraction may have been someone with a transistor radio. A bygone era indeed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">This image was scanned using a Minolta DiMage 5400.

The Designer has to make sure that the floor layout, product visibility, selection workspaces, all work and flow together for unmatched customer experience.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Those staffing the space need easy access to product samples, implementation, and client consultation areas.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">The fit and finish of materials, cabinets, workspaces were all superb and especially robust. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">Notice too, the commercial will-call area for the construction professional. Here, the commercial client isn’t left to feel as though their business is an afterthought. Impressive will-call counter and meeting spaces for product reps and craftsman along with demonstration areas for product and installation tools complete the project. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">Overall, the end result is what one comes to expect when working with an excellent design and build team. If you have a commercial or retail space that needs freshening or evening a complete remodel, give Debby a call. Key Interiors is Chicagolands premier commercial design/build firm.

margin: 0in;">When I have spare time, I enjoy film scanning. We have several high-quality scanners here in the studio, but my favorite is our Minolta DiMage 5400. There was a time when we would shoot hundreds of rolls of color reversal film per year and scanning was a part of our regular workflow. Particularly Fuji Astia 100, as it was my hands down favorite. Often, we would load these film slides into projector trays and have client image viewings using a projector and screen. That being said, we were always on the lookout for additional projector trays and would often find them for sale at estate sales, garage sales, flea markets etc. We could never have too many.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;">Nearly everyone kept the original boxes that the trays came in for storage which kept the tray in pristine condition. Many came loaded with family photos, business photos, snap shots, vacations etc. Whenever we noticed that the trays had slides in them, we would try to return the film to its proper owner. In some cases, however, it was impossible to tell when and where the tray of slide film came from and surprisingly many if not all didn’t want the film back. Just throw it away was commonly heard. Well, that’s something that a photographer never does.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;">I started to randomly pull a slide or two from some old trays that we hadn’t emptied and scan them. I am going to post them here under our new feature ‘A Bygone Era’. I will also try to identify the time period in which the film was shot, the type of film and if possible, the location.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;">I think this is going to be fun, because for me anyway I can look at a slide and just try and reminisce to what life was like during this time. Since most of the film I have was shot during my lifetime, this won’t exactly be difficult to do.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;">Our first slide is obviously taken from a hotel room while someone was on vacation in Mexico. This slide is stamped November 1976, a simpler time indeed. The film here is Kodak Kodachrome. Notice the complete absence of grain and the robust colors. Like most film, it scans and displays like it was shot yesterday. I hope you will enjoy our series of images as we look back at A Bygone Era, and if anyone recognizes the slide as their own, please email me so that we can return it to you.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: start;">Norman<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs6rBvDEwaxByHD5u_QKPT0n3jDP9UV6gQHhSlyymsoMlkizblh8xIdqYWspC6H_-S_Kqu3Rb50t11SpLjtZ4AJaz_Q0-lTpAE6st8zhm_u-KAvKYmjAWYuHaSUqsGaybINV93s9NgXTyE-8TVfuBdbiWjFbXNTDptftI7ImeD1TspiT9vjGrjCnDtOg/s1100/5400_004_TC.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="738" data-original-width="1100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs6rBvDEwaxByHD5u_QKPT0n3jDP9UV6gQHhSlyymsoMlkizblh8xIdqYWspC6H_-S_Kqu3Rb50t11SpLjtZ4AJaz_Q0-lTpAE6st8zhm_u-KAvKYmjAWYuHaSUqsGaybINV93s9NgXTyE-8TVfuBdbiWjFbXNTDptftI7ImeD1TspiT9vjGrjCnDtOg/s16000/5400_004_TC.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p>Normanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03617861283261807023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132421689891208557.post-37776323594520645272023-04-04T14:13:00.002-05:002023-11-17T16:41:18.479-06:00Random 009: JMD Builders<p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Here is another shot from a Chicago condo photoshoot that we did for JMD Builders late last year.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The architecture, interior design, and craftsmanship are superb throughout.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">JMD is headed up by Jerry Dardick and if you’re looking for an exceptional builder, to handle your project from concept to conception, give Mr. Dardick a call.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in;">This image was captured using a Sony A-850 camera and a Minolta 20mm prime lens.
