Olympia, WA – If you shoot with a Hasselblad 500 series or other medium format camera, there’s a new lens on the horizon. On September 12 2015, Denys Ivanichek launched a Kickstarter campaign for the Petzvar 120mm f/4 Petzval pictorial lens.

“Years ago, when I was building my first lens prototypes, my goal wasn’t to pursue the creation of the sharpest lens ever made. No, I wanted to create a lens completely different from the modern lenses we see from any number of manufacturers today,” says the creator, “I wanted to create a lens that would produce an image resembling the kinds of images we saw in the first years of the photographic era. I wanted to produce a lens that would be unique for our time.”

The Petzvar lens uses a genuine Petzval scheme: two achromatic groups of elements. This classic design has not been redesigned or improved and it retains the design’s inherent flaws and imperfections. The Petzvar lens was designed primarily as a portraiture lens, but can be used as a pictorial lens for landscape photography as well.

This is Denys Ivanichek’s second successful Kickstarter project, which has raised over $30 thousand with fifteen days to go. The Petzvar 4/120 incorporates a leaf shutter and is being made specifically for Hasselblad 500 series cameras. As it’s still a standard Hasselblad V-mount, the 2nd generation Petzvar can be mounted and used on 200 and 2000 series bodies. Also, two additional mounts are offered besides the original 1st generation Pentacon Six mount: Mamiya 645 and Pentax 645.

“By today’s standards, this primitive design can’t compete with or be compared with modern lenses in any respect. It has lots of known optical flaws, which are corrected in the contemporary lens schemes,” Ivanichek explains, “But it’s those imperfections which are exactly what makes the Petzvar such a fun lens to use. It creates a feeling completely missing from lenses designed today, it is unpredictable and absolutely bursting with its own character.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a Petzvar 3.8/120 lens with your choice of three mounts (Pentacon Six, Pentax 645 or Mamiya 645) for as little as $450, a Petzvar 3.8/120 lens with Hasselblad mount for the early bird price of $480 and more.

Ms. Chastity Thomason became a bestselling author last week with her book geared toward empowering women named 40 Disciplines Of A Wise Wombman: Awakening the Intimate and Forgotten Powers of Your Womanhood.

Chastity Thomason is a certified life coach, speaker, and author who is passionate about helping women find the power to pursue their dreams. Ms. Thomason’s book became a double bestseller on Amazon last week reaching #2 in Women’s Personal Growth category and #4 in Spiritual Healing.

“I created an easy-to-follow guide for every woman who seeks a healthy, spiritual lifestyle with an emphasis on the power of the feminine,” Thomason explains. “The womb is the center of a woman’s creativity and harnessing its power begins with its healing and continual nurturing,” she added.

Following her calling to live a more meaningful life, Thomason quit her job in Corporate America and embarked on a quest to find full mental freedom, flexibility and the power to do the things that really mattered.

Matching a passion for empowering women with a vision for entrepreneurship, Thomason started Passionista – a sacred space for women to heal and embrace sexual freedom without guilt or shame, and be inspired with new ideas to live a more authentic life.

“I didn’t want to be just another entrepreneur,” says Thomason. “I developed a program to give women the tools to become passionate about being their authentic self, to uncover their own passion, and eliminate the fears of being sexual.”

Thomason helps women build the confidence to pursue their true passion with purpose. She imparts inspiration from a place of personal freedom to work with women to help them discard ancestral and generational beliefs about the naked body and fully embrace sexuality and sensuality.

“This book is essential to all women – those with wombs and those who have had them surgically removed. Only through a deep commitment to these sacred disciplines can women take their rightful place as healers of our families, communities and the world,” Thomason expressed.

Involved in several organizations that inspire and empower women including the Big Brother Big Sister Organization and the Tru Talent Agency, the faith filled woman is also involved with The Queen Code, an organization that provides mentor-ship to rising women entrepreneurs.

The bestselling book is currently available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback formats. To learn more about Ms. Thomason, visit http://www.chastitythomason.com or call 775-338-0395.

Cataract patients in Dallas/Fort Worth have reason to rejoice thanks to a new treatment method designed to eliminate one of the most frustrating aspects of cataract surgery – postoperative eye drops.

Sept. 30, 2015 – Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center, with offices in Arlington, Plano and Dallas, is the first practice in DFW to offer the “No-Drop” cataract surgery, a procedure that is receiving rave reviews from patients and surgeons alike.

In the standard postoperative care for cataract surgery, patients are required to diligently use both antibiotic and steroid eye drops before and after their procedures to prevent infection and inflammation and to promote healing. While the drops have been effective, the rigid expectations for the drop schedule can be difficult to follow. Missing scheduled drops can lead to an increased risk of potential complications.

For patients who medically qualify for the new “No Drop” cataract surgery, the surgeon administers a mixture that contains the antibiotic and steroid medications into the eye during the surgery. The medication remains in the eye where it slowly dissolves while the eye is healing. This allows most patients to heal without the need for additional prescription eye drops.

In addition to the convenience, many patients report a significant cost savings for the “No Drop” cataract surgery. Typical cataract surgery prescription eye drops can cost $100 to $400 per eye. In contrast, if patients elect to undergo “No-Drop” cataract surgery, it is rare for them to pay for any prescription eye drops.

The surgeons at Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center say the new “No Drop” procedure is a welcome addition to the advanced cataract technology already in place.

“When you look at cataract treatments over the last decade, we’ve made many incredible advances in technology,” said Anthony Evangelista, MD, partner surgeon at Kleiman|Evangelista Eye Center. “Between our LifeStyle Lens procedures and the LenSx cataract laser, we’re able to help many patients enjoy clear vision, often reducing the need for corrective lenses. ‘No Drop’ cataract treatment is the latest advancement that’s not only exciting for patients, but for our surgeons as well.”

“With the new ‘No Drop’ treatment, we are able to make cataract surgery more convenient, finally bringing the most frustrating aspect of cataract procedure – the postoperative drop regimen required during the recovery – into the modern age,” said David A. Kleiman, MD, founder of Kleiman|Evangelista Eye Center.

Kleiman | Evangelista Eye Center remains on the forefront of vision correction and breakthroughs in cataract surgery. Their team of surgeons has performed tens of thousands of cataract procedures since the practice opened 33 years ago.

September 30, 2015 – – Rainbow Bridge, a dog sanctuary in Carlsbad, CA, has announced that noted jazz performer Cindy Bradley will be providing the first performance in their planned amphitheater as soon as it is completed. Further information is available on the planned amphitheater and the upcoming performance by Bradley can be found at www.MyRainbowBridge.co.

“We have great plans for our dog sanctuary and we are so happy that Cindy Bradley has agreed to be our first performer,” says James DePelma from Rainbow Bridge. “It is appropriate because Cindy is a dog lover and she believes in our vision and mission. We hope that many others like her will perform at our center.”

On the grounds of Rainbow Bridge will be everything that a dog could ever need. The huge plot of land is covered in green grass and shade. Work is currently taking place to landscape the gardens so that they include trees, flowers and lakes. All of these will allow dogs to roam to their heart’s desire.

A number of things are also taking place to encourage people to make donations to the dog sanctuary. The one the team at Rainbow Bridge is most proud of is the donor wall. On it, the name of every person who has contributed to the cause will be listed. It will provide a visual reminder of the people who participated in achieving the goal of taking homeless, unwanted dogs off the streets and giving them a permanent, loving home.

“Our goals are huge, but we believe them to be achievable,” adds James DePelma. “We want to make the world a better place for dogs, but we also want to improve the San Diego County economy by creating jobs. Cindy Bradley’s performance will also help with this, because her performance will help to make sure Rainbow Bridge can run efficiently.”

Rainbow Bridge understands that their center will require substantial funds to operate. However, they believe it to be a worthy cause, and they are looking for people who believe in it to make donations through the Rainbow Bridge website. Any donor who does so at present will receive free admission to the Cindy Bradley concert.
