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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Photos of science fiction writers’ nests

Posted at 6:11 pm | Filed Under art, journal

Kyle Cassidy has a great new project: “Where I Write: Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers in Their Creative Spaces.” In 2000, I found Kyle’s “Leicaslacker” pages and found his writing entertaining and his photos deserving of envy. I followed Kyle’s Armed America project through his LiveJournal, and continually wish I’d taken his photos.
