i now own turbert. com.  i consider this a minor triumph, as it has been in the works for a long time.  after many trials and tribulations, i am now officially under the control of the domain that bears my name.  now that it is mine, what do i plan to do with it you may ask???  well, i'm not quite sure.  i just wanted it.  at the moment it is pointing to jtfanclub.com, but i think i may make turbert.com a resume type website to help me gain glorious future employment. speaking of glorious, i stumbled across these sweet images on the old internet the other day.  i really like mr. hobson's work and his use of the ultra-wide angle (normally i'm not too keen on that sort of thing).  i recently bought one of those chinese 6 x 17 panoramic backs off of ebay.  i had been thinking about buying one for a long time, and then i saw the darjeeling ltd.  wes anderson's cinematographer got me all excited about making totally awesome panavision photographs.  so far i have been way less than satisfied with my results.  it's kind of like when i first went to art school, and i wanted to be a film major.  i was super into movies, and i figured "why not go to school to make movies."  it didn't really pan out.  all my movies looked more like moving photographs anyway.  for awhile i was a film/photo major, but then i dropped the film due to multiple schedule conflicts, and lack of desire to stay in school for 5 years.  i still shoot motion picture film.  i will post some on this site eventually.  all in good time. 

until next time,
