Shoehorning a digicam into a Leica M

Posted at 6:30 pm | Filed Under art, digital

Leica has gone nouveau-retro with the digital Leica M series. Other companies, like Vivitar, have come out with digital cameras featuring current tech, but designs reminiscent of retro rangefinder cameras. This retro camera beats them all. The maker shoehorned a Sony DSC-WX1 digital camera into a Leica (or, more accurately, what appears to be a […]

Tableau

Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under art, film, lomo

This roll of film sat in my freezer for several years before being shot in my LOMO LC-A+ last year, then it sat in the bottom of my 6 Million Dollar bag for a few more months after that. As a result, I have NO CLUE as to where I shot this. Anyone recognize the […]

Signpost

Posted at 7:00 pm | Filed Under art, film

Recently, I’ve been shot most of my street candids portrait-style. I don’t know where this is coming from, maybe I should buy a square-frame medium format camera to cure myself of this? Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy a Holga, Diana or a Lubitel? Does anyone have a favorite, obscure medium […]

A wheat-paste poster I pass by every day walking from my car to work. Here’s an earlier version I took with my camera phone and posted to my low resolution site.

Aiptek Pencam SD — Digital Holga, or a better Digital Harinezumi?

Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under art, film, pencam

  I took this picture with a Aiptek Pencam SD, a camera I liken to the Digital Harinezumi. The Pencam SD is roughly the same size, and does 1280×960 max resolution (still), and 6-8 frames per second at 640×480. Like the Digital Harinezumi, the Pencam SD has 64MB of built-in memory and an SD card […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week, On the Road — McDONALDS

Posted at 6:23 pm | Filed Under blog

McDonalds? Good Coffee? McDonalds has been on a campaign to take some of Starbucks’ coffee business. They’ve changed their coffee suppliers and now offer espresso drinks in 70 percent of their restaurants. That’s a LOT of restaurants, and it’s got Starbucks looking in their rear view mirror. I thought I’d try a plain old cuppa […]

FUN NATURE FDC01, A New “Digital Holga”?

Posted at 9:54 pm | Filed Under art, digital, film

FUZZYEYEBALLS wrote about the “Fun Nature FDC01”, a new toy digital camera. While other camera manufacturers have been beating each other to market with higher megapixel sensors and features, the FDC01 stands apart. It’s a 1.9 megapixel camera with 64 MB on-board memory, SD expansion slot, rechargeable battery, 8 fps “movie” mode, and 3 photo […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — MARKET PANTRY BREAKFAST BLEND

Posted at 5:30 pm | Filed Under blog

With all of the cheap coffees in my pantry,  it’s high praise for a brand when I go buy the brand twice. There have been a couple of repeat buys over the past few months, most notably Yuban Original. Market Pantry coffee will NOT be a repeat buy. Watery, weak, slightly bitter –  everything cheap […]

On Lomography

Posted at 11:03 am | Filed Under blog

I’ve known Sarah Zucker for some time through her photography online. her essay, On Lomography echoes many of the sentiments regarding “Lomography” that I’ve been feeling. Other “Lomographers” inspired me to begin capturing intimate and mundane moments in my life on film. I shared my photos on lomo.org and lomo.us, two online bulletin boards, and […]

It’s Not The Photographer, It’s The Camera!

Posted at 7:23 pm | Filed Under blog

I enjoy reading the high end DSLR discussion boards on the internet. Those gearheads go ape over minute differences in “chromatic aberration” and “barrel distortion”. They peep at pixels in Photoshop to see if their lens is able to give them a sharp image blown up to the size of the side of a barn. […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week – DUNKIN DONUTS ORIGINAL BLEND

Posted at 8:51 am | Filed Under blog

When it comes to cheap coffee, Dunkin Donuts is the proverbial 800-pound gorilla in the room. They’re making a play for America’s coffee pot and want to be a competitor to Starbucks in made-to-go coffee. At $6.00 for a 12 oz bag at my local Target store, however, DD enters the cheap coffee realm. While […]
