My quest for a great 35mm pocket camera takes me to the Nikon Fun Touch 2, which turns out to be not so fun after all. An inability to focus on close subjects and no way to turn flash off makes this camera less capable than even disposable 35mm cameras like the Fuji Quicksnap. Check […]
Read More...Storm Clouds Gather Over Film Photography
Update June 2019: Some good news! Tetenal lives to see another day (sort of)! Also, Polaroid Originals has Spectra and large format back in stock in the US. Whew! It’s no secret that film, as a consumer product, is dead. However, despite this, the past decade has been amazing for professionals and amateur photographers who […]
Read More...New: Nikon One Touch Zoom 90s Review
I really want a great pocket 35mm camera, but I really don’t want to pay a crazy amount for it. To begin my quest, I’ve purchased a bunch of cheapies off of eBay to see if I can find a diamond in the rough. First up to get the review treatment is the Nikon One […]
Read More...New: OneStep CloseUp Camera Guide
Most of the vintage Polaroid cameras floating around out there are the box-type 600 variety, and the OneStep CloseUp is one of the models I find most often in flea markets and garage sales. While a delightfully simple camera to use, I put together a guide for those who may be using one for the […]

Read More...New: Polaroid OneStep+ Camera Review
Just in time for the holiday season, Polaroid Originals is back with a new camera! This time they’ve combined the chocolate of the affordable and accessible OneStep2 with the peanut butter of the bluetooth powered control of the I-1. While not replacing my SLR 680 anytime soon, the OneStep+ is a great camera for people […]

This is a transcript of a live lit piece I performed at This Much is True in Chicago on June 13, 2017. A few weeks ago, I was dropping off my film to be developed – I know, I’m probably one of the only people in Chicago still getting film developed, but bear with me […]
Read More...New: Polaroid Originals SX-70 Instant Film Review
SX-70 is 600’s cranky older brother, and it’s taken me quite a bit of trial and error to finally get a review together for Polaroid Originals’ version of this format. SX-70 requires a ton of light and uses cameras that not only lack built-in flash, but are also decades older and thus, more prone to […]
Read More...Running to 30
About a year ago, I had what I will optimistically call a 1/3rd life crisis. Twenty-nine had arrived, and I was officially leaving the ranks of youth to join the world of real adulthood. When you’re in your twenties, you always have ‘later’ to look forward to. It’s okay if you screwed something up, you […]
Read More...New: Instax Square SQ6 Review
Fuji Instax has a new square format out, and I have a review of their first analog camera for it! Instax Square is definitely gunning for the classic Polaroid shape, but some odd design choices keep the SQ6 from it’s full potential. For now, I’m still going to continue recommending cameras like the Instax Mini […]
