The last roll of Kodachrome has been made by Kodak and was given to Steve McCurry to expose.
In 1984, photojournalist Steve McCurry was in an Afghan refugee camp in Pakistan. He followed the sound of voices to a tent where he found a group of girls. "I noticed this one little girl off to the side that had his incredible set of eyes that seemed almost haunted — or very piercing," he tells NPR's Audie Cornish.

Deinna Adzima (left) and Mary Lou Rector (right) participated in a performance of "The Messiah" last December 13th with the San Diego Festival Chorus (80 members), and a forty-eight piece orchestra. The performance was at College Avenue Baptist Church, San Diego, CA. Here's a link to our website for more pictures of the event.

Here's a lighting diagram app for your iPhone and it free. Give it a try. It's great for explaining a new lighting setup or keep a record of one you did.

Here is one of the nice things about living in San Diego Area, Deinna found this Rose blooming a few days ago. The summer garden has given up the last zucchini, tomatoes plants are on the compost pile. The only thing left are Jalapeno peppers, but the avocados are almost ready to be picked.
I did get a comment on how this was done. I just purchased the David Honl (LINK) Lighting accessories kit and thought I would test drive it. The overhead SB800 has his 8" snoot on the strobe and the second SB800 Camera right has the 1/8" Grid, casting the spot on the background. So far I like his stuff.
This morning Deinna asked me if she could make me breakfast. She asked, "How many eggs do you want?" I said, two. She cracked the first egg open and was surprised to see double yolks. We both replied that this was unusual. Then she cracked the second egg, and we were surprised to see that it also was a double yolker! These eggs were bought from the normal grocery store, where we seldom get two yolked eggs, much less two in the same carton, and then to see TWO in the same pan! Pretty cool.
Naturally, I said, "Stop the cooking! Wait for me to ge my camera." Yeah, she said, like how hard is that to do. So she took the pan off the burner and waited. Well, what can I say. I take advantage of all photographic opportunities. She laughed.
I'm on my way to the liquor store to buy a lottery ticket.

Struck by the contrast of this this brick wall. I used my iPhone for these images.
Then we went to lunch at the Olive Garden and here was a red armored car.
A red pepper in the garden.

Aiyana, from a recent portrait session.
Our second involvement 
with San Diego Hospice was to photograph the participants and events at Camp Erin the weekend of September 25 and 27, 2009.
From the Camp Erin website:
Camp Erin is a bereavement camp designed for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, friend or loved one. It is a weekend-long experience filled with traditional, fun, camp activities combined with grief education and emotional support -- facilitated by grief professionals and trained volunteers. The Moyer Foundation partners with local hospice and grief counseling organizations in the communities where the camps exist. Because these organizations are seeing and treating grieving children everyday, they act as the natural camp hosts and registration points for children and Camp Erin bereavement camps.
Our Involvement:
Deinna and I have both had loved ones helped by San Diego Hospice. Through our photography, we thought this would be one way to give back and show our support for this worthwhile project. Camp Erin is the largest network of bereavement camps for children in the country. Twenty-eight camps in eighteen states.
Camp Erin is free for all children. Application is required. Check the above website link for more information and locations. The website will also explain who Erin Metcalf, of Woodinville, Washington is, and how Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen, co-founders of the Moyer Foundation, became involved.
Camp Erin was held at the YMCA's Camp Marston, a few miles south of Julian CA. If you are looking for a project to support, after working closely with counselors and staff, we can highly recommend San Diego Hospice, the Moyer Foundation and Camp Erin for your consideration.

If you subscribe to San Diego Magazine or see the current issue (October '09), look on page 118. They have published one of my photographs. In this issue they have partnered with the San Diego County Medical Society to showcase the outstanding Doctors in 46 specialties. Chosen by the physicians themselves, they identify 475 that they would recommend to their own family and friends. They deem these doctors as those who minister not only to the body, but also to the soul.
Recently, Deinna and I volunteered with San Diego Hospice to do photography for them. The first project was to do some head shots so they could update their web site. As we completed this, we were requested to do a full length of Dr. Steven Oppenheim, M.D., who has been recognized by his peers as a "Top Doctor" in Palliative Medicine. The picture I took is the one featured on page 118 in the above mentioned magazine.

Running the Numbers II
Portraits of global mass culture
Digital artist looks at how much we consume photographically.
View Chis Jordan's Web Site HERE then click on Running the Numbers II.
From his web site:
This new series looks at mass phenomena that occur on a global scale. Similarly to the first Running the Numbers series, each image portrays a specific quantity of something: the number of tuna fished from the world's oceans every fifteen minutes, for example. But this time the statistics are global in scale, rather than specifically American.
Finding meaning in global mass phenomena can be difficult because the phenomena themselves are invisible, spread across the earth in millions of separate places. There is no Mount Everest of waste that we can make a pilgrimage to and behold the sobering aggregate of our discarded stuff, seeing and feeling it viscerally with our senses.
