If you've ever wondered what the #fujifilm #tx1 / #hasselblad #xpan is like to own and shoot, I've finished rewriting a long-term (nine years!) review of the camera.

Selective motion blur on a moped caused by the tracking of a swing-lens turret. An interesting effect if nothing else (when compared to the sharply caught cars).

A moped rider drives down a road, flanked forwards and backwards by large cars. The swing-lens of the camera has created a slight blur on the vehicle, while the outer cars appear sharp.

A construction worker in a high-viz vest walks down a sidewalk past a set of construction barriers, one of which has a small diamond window cut in it. In the distance, another group of people is barely visible, as are a mid- and high-rise building.

The last few images have been a bit uninspiring, and unfortunately I'm currently at the end of my backlog-- which is wild, because it felt very deep not too long ago.

Unfortunately the weather is too cold for my equipment-- I actually even jammed one of my TX-1s a while back.(1/2)

A worker supervises a vehicle scraping away compacted snow.

Another test photo, this time with the Ricoh R1. This has a much shorter panoramic mode, so it's a bit awkward for me.

Much to do about snowfall in NYC.

Taken as a test run of KONO Color 400. The muted colors suit the winter cityscape very well.

I didn't think all that much of Meetup a decade ago when I first tried it, but I did find a #filmphotography group in Seattle that I met with once or twice that was alright.

But now, in 2026, the app experience is *so* bad (auto-signups for groups, awful search, ads) that it almost beggars belief.

A snowblower sends an arc of snow onto a large curbside snowdrift while clearing a path for pedestrians.

I've embarked on a quest to learn to use the gamut of 135 panoramic cameras. This is one of my first with the Panon Widelux.

Safety first among store workers.

A day of light and rain that did not feature light rain.

One day I'll do a series of umbrella photos. This one is a new favorite though.

A person beneath an umbrella is silhouetted against the storefront and advertisement lights of Times Square as they raise a phone to take a picture. The wet pavement beneath them reflects much of the background light, and a group of other passersby move out of the frame to the right.
