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
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 bizarre experience to be seeing what your fellow photographers are seeing as the walk is happening.

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.

Complaining about the iPhone’s camera?
Posted at 6:06 pm | Filed Under art, journal
Kyle Cassidy’s take on the iPhone’s camera, from his iPhonetography site: THE CAMERA THAT COMES WITH THE iPHONE IS TERRIBLE Many people decry it’s smallish megapixel count (3), but really, as any serious digital photographer will tell you, size doesn’t matter. The most frustrating thing about the image that comes from the iPhone is the […]

Nostalgia for the Now
Posted at 7:39 pm | Filed Under journal
(Here’s a great article by Peggy Nelson about nostalgia, memories, and how digital media allows us to interpret memories independently of what we capture on media…) Photographs give us the ability to capture what we see, more or less. And apps give us the ability to capture what we wish. So what do we wish […]

The Day My Grandmother Exploded, by Kyle Cassidy
Posted at 6:08 pm | Filed Under art, digital, journal
[via Kyle Cassidy’s Livejournal ] Two weeks ago I got this crazy idea in my head to find a ten year old 1.3 megapixel Leica Digilux and make a series of images with it based on lines people sent me from novels. Well, it’s done. It’s a 24 page booklet called The Day My Grandmother […]

Camerabag, More iPhone Camera Fun
Posted at 6:33 pm | Filed Under art, digital, journal
I had a lot of fun with Hipstamatic, the iPhone camera application that’s taking my Facebook friends list by storm. It does feel odd to buy a $1.99 app to turn my $199 cameraphone into a $2 plastic camera, but there <<are>> benefits to going digital – for less than the cost of a roll […]

First Shot, Third Canonet
Posted at 6:11 pm | Filed Under journal
This is a medium-res scan from a test roll out of my third Canonet QL 17 GIII. It’s been one of my favorite cameras over the years, and one of the best deals out there if you’re looking for a cheap rangefinder. Canon sold lots of them, so there’s spare parts galore. It’s easy to […]

I want to be a photographer someday. Any advice?
Posted at 6:26 pm | Filed Under art, journal
Originally posted by kylecassidy: A Reader Writes: I want to be a photographer someday. Any advice? Yes, lots. Photography is a mixture of Artistic Ability and Technical Skill — the magic of the mix isn’t written in stone. The world is filled with technically proficient but artistically uninspired photographers, there seem to be a smaller […]

iPhonetography, a new Kyle Cassidy project

Quiet Carnival
Posted at 1:09 am | Filed Under journal
Check out Amy’s post, Quiet Carnival. Last Thursday night as I drove home from work, I passed the park during golden hour. Buttery light filtered through the trees and lit up the rides. No more lame reasons. I raced the last few blocks to the house to grab my camera (I had my point […]

Four Five Two, Jazz Jelly 207
Posted at 6:05 pm | Filed Under film, journal
Shot with a Jazz Jelly 207, fairly high-tech as plastic cameras go. Integral lens cover, built-in flash, small enough to fit in your pocket. Classic plastic wide-angle lensed-goodness, fixed shutter speed. Shoot ISO 200 speed film outdoors. Flash is good for 10 feet if you’re lucky (and shooting ISO 400 speed film). This roll came […]

Wheelbarrow
Posted at 6:39 pm | Filed Under art, journal
I liked the texture and the color on this wheelbarrow, discarded along a deserted street. Sometimes art isn’t where you’re looking for it.
