A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a new film camera I’d just purchased – a Lomography 360 Spinner (https://scottmeadphotography.com/spinning-my-wheels/). So far, I’ve had a blast spinning rolls of 35mm print and slide film and anxiously awaiting to have them...

A good friend of mine is a private pilot, and getting into the air is his escape – a freedom – from gravity and everyday life. It’s also a weekend ritual (weather and family permitting): Arrive at the airport at O’ dark-30. Pull plane out of the hanger.

Participating in art shows and gallery exhibits provides me with an interesting opportunity: Photographer watching. No, I’m not dressed in Real Tree camo, lurking behind trees or lying in thickets of bamboo. I’m not taking notes or talking to an agent through a wrist...
