Most of my early photography education was learned on a Canon AE1 Manual. I had two of them and they both took amazing pictures. Romanced by the ease and affordability of the digital process, my AE1 collected dust. Soon after the seals parted and created small light leaks. Not long after it was sold for pennies on the dollar of its true worth. A moment of silent remembrance please.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83" title="450d1" src="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/450d1.png" alt="450d1" width="502" height="551" /></p> <p>After suffering through a few mid grade Olympus 5-7 or 8 mega pixel cameras, I bit the bullet with my Canon EOS 450D xsi with a Tamron 18-250 1:3.5-6.3 DI II Lens. Right away I felt like my old AE1 had risen from its ashes and been remade in a far easier to use modern form. Overall I am pleased with its output. I have learned that once you have a proper tool in your hand the main foe left to overcome is flawed user input. With this in mind I located a number of websites that help to demystify the photographic art in its new digital realm. The best of these I have found is <a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/trips/2007-01-route-66/index.htm" target="_blank">www.kenrockwell.com</a>. Much of Kens work is not my sort of thing stylistically speaking, but it is fantastically executed and his site is very informative and well organized.</p> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="info"> <span class="cat block"><a href="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/?cat=6" title="View all posts in equipment" rel="category">equipment</a>, <a href="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/?cat=9" title="View all posts in photography" rel="category">photography</a></span> </div> </li> <li> <h2> <a href="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/?p=67" title="Permanent Link to Leveraging bar??">Leveraging bar??</a> </h2> <div class="info"> <span class="date">Posted on June 3rd, 2009</span> <span class="author">Posted by: curt</span> <span class="comment">2 comments</span> </div> <p><img src="file:///C:/Users/Fpressstudio/Desktop/IMG_0313.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69" title="img_03131" src="http://fpressstudio.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_03131.jpg" alt="img_03131" width="567" height="755" />I am incredibly curious about the contraption this printer is using. It seems to be a sort of leveraging bar for the squeegee pressure? I have been around a number of graphic presses both automatic and manual, but I’ve never witnessed anything like this. I imagine it to be a great hybrid that eases the labor load for the printer without loosing the hands on control. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I made my way down there for the first round of poster printing inks, emulsion, and asorted planet friendly chemicals. I found the owner who asisted me for nearly half an hour very helpful and informative. Despite the many other customers and distractions, I got all my questions answered and even a box full of free samples. It probably didn’t hurt that I was droping a fair amount of cash in one visit, but I was impressed nevertheless. For all who are interested: 2010 S. Main St Los Angeles, CA 90007 (213) 749-2262.
