Hipstamatic, make your iPhone plastic!
Posted at 6:14 pm | Filed Under iphoneography
Hipstamatic is an iPhone app that gives your photos a film/plastic camera feel. While there are many other holganizers and lomo-fiers available for iPhones, this is the first application I’ve fallen in love with. At $1.99, I couldn’t pass it up! From their press materials: Digital photography never looked so analog. The Hipstamatic for iPhone […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — CHASE AND SANBORN SPECIAL ROAST
Posted at 9:19 am | Filed Under blog
This was another can’t-pass-it-up deal – $2.99 for 10.5 ounces at Walgreens. It’s a decent, medium-bold blend. I find myself making an afternoon cup on weekends. Normally, I never drink coffee on weekends after my morning cuppa.

Homebrew Kodachrome
Posted at 6:05 pm | Filed Under film
This DIY Kodachrome machine (the “Filminator”) was created to produce more film stock after the company discontinued productions. Michael, the creator, notes, “Plastic and goop go in one end, and camera film comes out the other end. This is not a trivial undertaking.” [ DIY film via boingboing ]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — FOLGERS CLASSIC ROAST
Posted at 11:41 am | Filed Under blog
Folgers was on sale for $4.99/10.5 ounce can at Safeway. It’s nowhere near as smooth as Yuban Original, but rich with nuances of formica counters, leatherette and chrome stools, heavy diner mugs, pies in refrigerated cases and waitresses named Vera. The can went surprisingly fast. I’d buy another can, but I’m playing the coffee field […]

Fun with a Vivitar PN2011 “panoramic” camera
Posted at 5:41 pm | Filed Under art, film
I went out shooting with a Vivitar PN2011, a 35mm panoramic plastic camera. This is probably my favorite plastic camera to date, but I don’t know why. I think it’s big enough, the lens is wide enough, it feels sturdy enough and it’s got a lens cover to protect that $1.00 piece of plastic. They’re […]

Chromatic aberration? Pincushin distortion? Vignetting? Must be a Jazz Jelly! Shot with generic 200 ISO $.99 store film.

My First Leica…
Posted at 6:06 am | Filed Under journal
“My First Leica!…” I’ve heard people raving about Leica glass for years, and I’ve wanted a Leica M series rangefinder for as long as I’ve been serious about photography. Leica quality comes at a premium price, though, and I could never justify the cost. Until now.

Cheap Coffee of the Week — ARCHER FARMS ITALIAN ROAST
Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under blog
Decent coffee? AT TARGET? Cheap. $6.79/12 oz bag. Ground or whole bean. Italian, French, Columbian and Guatemalan blends. Surprisingly smooth, not the freshest beans in the bag, but buzzworthy. Worth a look. Target sometimes has small bags of coffee for $1 and online $1 off coupons. Doesn’t get much cheaper than FREE.

Wondering about the Diana Mini
Posted at 7:11 pm | Filed Under journal
So, if the Diana Mini can shoot 72 half-frame pictures on a 36 exposure roll, or 36 square exposures, does the film advance advance the film on 24×36 boundaries? Two half-frame shots should print out on a 4×6 print with a fine line between them, and normal spacing between 2 half-frame shots. I’m assuming the […]
