Seasonal Affective Disorder Written on February 9, 2010, by Phillip Sumner.
It’s been a cold and cloudy week or so around these parts. But today the sun is shining! And just in time, too. I was on the verge of contracting SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). I have never had a disorder, and don’t want to start now! It’s been too cold (or I have been too [...]

“Rumble Fish” Redux Written on November 12, 2009, by Phillip Sumner.
There are two things I really love. Movies and photography. Around the time I got my first camera (see me getting film for said camera here) Francis Ford Coppola was shooting a couple of movies in the Tulsa area, from books by the great S.E. Hinton. One of those films, Rumble Fish, featured some key [...]
Some Home Developed Black and White Written on November 3, 2009, by Phillip Sumner.

I have been going through an old shoe box of family photos from the 1970’s. There are some great shots in there (and some terrible ones) and they each bring back wonderful memories. But it got me thinking about the future of “family photos” in the digital era.
I don’t know about you, [...]
