Rolleiflex | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/rolleiflex
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. Self Portrait with Rolleiflex FX. 2007. Although I own many cameras both film and digital, small, medium and large format. I shoot most of my personal work with a fine imaging instrument called the Rolleiflex. Presently I own two models, the 3.5e made in 1959 and the newest Rolleiflex the FX. Also made a cheaper version as did Minolta. The 3 fundamental design elements of the Rolleiflex are the main reasons I use them. In Vancouver ...

Lessons from Instagram | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/lessons-from-instagram
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. Hello blogging friends. I’ve been out of the blogosphere for nearly a year now and it’s only because I’ve been so busy. My little business, Page One Power. Has taken off and is keeping most of my mental powers occupied. My children, all five of them, like to consume the remaining bits of energy I have when I get back from work and then my wife hopes for a second wind from me every night at 9PM when everyone is asleep. Upon printing ...

The Worlds Youngest Stalker | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/2011/07/23/the-worlds-youngest-stalker
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. The Worlds Youngest Stalker. Where's she going? For a few months Sam had a stalker. It was her daughter, Kimi. During this time Sam always had Kimi at her feet. Unless Kimi could see Sam she didn’t feel good so she chased her all day. Sam didn’t mind but if had been me I think I would have hid just to get a little peace. It lasted only a couple of months. Now she’s only a “semi-stalker”. July 24, 2011 at 12:00 PM. I like your blog&#...

I didn’t miss you at all | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/i-didnt-miss-you-at-all
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. I didn’t miss you at all. Sam in my chair missin' me. I spent four days in Washington DC last week. I was at a trade show. Sam was at home with 5 kids keeping them clothed, clean and fed. While I was on my “fun little vacation” as she puts it I only called her a few times. I was extremely busy and tired at the end of the day. When I got home she asked “Did you miss me? I missed you.”. I said “no. March 8, 2011 at 10:34 AM. I love yo...

Falling in Love with Samantha | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/falling-in-love-with-samantha
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. Falling in Love with Samantha. It started at a church dance in August 1994. She was wearing a bright yellow top and a teasing smile. She took me by surprise, how confidently she walked right up and said “Do you remember me? I replied “Yeah, you’re Steph Smith’s sister, Sam”. 8220;Do you want to dance? 8221; she asked. 8220;Yeah, sure”. We fell in love over the next few months. It was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. 8221; she teased.

Sisters | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/sisters
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. My father in Law told me that your siblings are the people you have the longest and most consistent relationship with. I think he’s right. So when I look at this photo of Kim and Grace at ages 1 and 3 I think of the hundreds or thousands of moments that they’ll spend together that could span 10 decades. It’s awesome, isn’t it? Photo taken with my trusty Rolleiflex FX onto Portra 160 film. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Next post →.

Photography | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/photography
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. 2 Photography is hard work. It takes time, thought, money and effort. Without these ingredients don’t be surprised if your portfolio is bad. 3 The equipment doesn’t make the photograph but you can’t make the photograph without the equipment. 4 I am naturally inclined to asthetics and artistic sensibilities. Add to that an impatient personality and the desire to create and you have a classic profile for a photographer. 9 The constant...

It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. 7 Tips to Better Photography of Your Kids. 1 Wait and be ready.

Looking at Trampolines | Jon Ball
https://jonballphoto.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/looking-at-trampolines
It's not what you do. It's how you do it. Falling in Love with Samantha. Looking at the computer. It makes perfect sense to me; all the clutter around the three main subjects in this photo. The photo behind Sam’s head is from a photo trip back in ’98 it’s a door in SoHo in NYC. I printed it in my basement darkroom the same year. I had to print at night and cleaned it with a hose while hanging it on the backyard clothes line. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. You are commenting using yo...
