3-in-1 Breakfast Station

Posted at 12:15 pm | Filed Under journal

I’m a firm believer in having every appliance in my kitchen serve more than one purpose. Not surprisingly, this rocks my world. Add an alarm clock/timer and a light and you’d have a Next Generation Teasmade. $49.99 at Nostalgia Electronics – alas, they’re sold out.

Plastic cameras quite happily fill the needs of people who don’t want their pictures to look like everybody else’s. Think about it—when you [...]

Multitool Tripod – FTW

Posted at 10:14 pm | Filed Under journal

[ from boingboing ] Gerber is one of my favorite multitool companies; I like the fact that they’re always experimenting with clever (but rarely gimmicky) ways to extend the functionality of pocket tools. Case in point: this forthcoming “Steady” tool, which incorporates a tripod with a standard camera screw-mount. I really miss carrying multitools wherever [...]

New test

Posted at 7:50 pm | Filed Under journal

I started poking around the menus on my Elph 100 HS, and noticed that it’s got a “Toy Camera” mode – looks like it vignettes the shot. I’m torn – there’s a lot more flexibility with an iPhone and the dozens of applications available for it, but sometimes you can’t beat 12 megapixels, 3200 ISO, [...]

June 11th Instawalk in San Francisco’s Chinatown District

Posted at 6:48 pm | Filed Under journal

An Instawalk is an Instagram themed photo walk. Users are encouraged to shoot, process, and upload their photos as the walk is happening. If you haven’t done one yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a really bizarre experience to be seeing what your fellow photographers are seeing as the walk is happening. Our next Instawalk [...]

Wabi-Sabi

Posted at 12:38 pm | Filed Under journal

Wabi-sabi is the art of finding beauty in imperfection: it values simplicity, uncluttered, underplayed, and modest surroundings. Authenticity is key to wabi-sabi philosophy: the presence of cracks and scratches in things are considered to be symbolic of the passing of time, weather, and loving use–and should be embraced.
