I found this short conversational video with Jay Maisel.  It’s not very long, but it’s nice to hear him talk about the importance of always carrying a camera. I am guilty of not carrying it enough. So this resonated with me.

I was in the mood to view Michael Kenna photographs this morning. That of course led to a couple good resources.

Obviously, his site, www.michaelkenna.net, is well worth visiting.

Here’s a video from youtube about him. I enjoy these and am very thankful that youtube exists.

He also just published a new photography/poetry book with Bianca Rossini called “Love in black and white”

What are BTZS Tubes? As the video mentions, they are tubes from Phil Davis the writer of the book, Beyond the Zone System.

OK, so this 4×5 Part 1 video is a bit strange, but it shows BTZS tubes in action.  BTZS tubes are tubes used for sheet film development.
