Natalie Merchant - RF maniac?

That would have been a great April Fools joke, have to remember that for next year... I think I may have to take a picture of Elvis or Jim Morrison...

Hello folks. I'm Jeff Hughes, the guy whose blog this came from. My apologies if some felt misled by any inference that this was a shot taken by me while Natalie was out shooting with her M3. If you'll parse my words very carefully, you'll see that I never claimed such (and even dropped that hint at the end that Sjixxxy picked up on).

Here’s a shot I took a few years back, while she was out with what I think was her M3. I’m not sure what kind of film she was shooting - but the shot of mine was on Tri-X, developed in Xtol.

And, no, it’s not what you think…

I DID take that picture. With my M6. It was indeed Tri-X. And yes it was developed in Xtol, 1:1.

But of course it was a shot from that video. I took the shot of my 21" computer monitor from a couple feet away, at f2. A little coarse, a little grainy, but it came out surprisingly okay, I thought.

I have heard since that Natalie is an honest-to-goodness photographer, and that she likes Leicas. I always liked her music. I liked her even more once I found she shares our passion for photography. I wouldn't critique the video too much - do bear in mind that it was a commercial production, with all that that brings.

If anyone wants a copy of the full size video - very much recommended - it's still available from Amazon:

Again, sorry if anyone felt deceived by my little blog post. I never intended anything other than a lighthearted plug for a cool chick who makes great music, looks good, and supposedly knows her way around a camera.

All the best...
