7: The vignetting is just shameful. It is like shoving the Star Spangled Banner, religion and apple pie down someone’s throat (does anyone else find the rise of the ‘shove it down our throats’ metaphor, in the wake of the health care debates, to be grossly amusing?)… maybe not that extreme, but pretty close.

I love these, but the fake vignetting is dirty pool

This is so cool! I love the ones showing the depth of field, especially the one of the 76 station. And the hose closeup — there’s something so right about being able to create these effects with a beer can and needle, as opposed to expensive lenses. Thanks, Rogan.

Wittekirke, Pabst, whatever. Beer is best in a can.

So simple and yet so cool. I love this sort of mechanical “hack” into the digital.

My favorite pics are the first one of palm trees and the deep field one with the tires and the gas station sign.

However . . . Wittekirke? “F*ck that sh*t! Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!”
