Getting started in the world of instant film can be intimidating. There are all different kinds of companies and formats involved, many of which are completely incompatible with each other. One format floating around that may seem a bit harder to grasp than the rest is something called Polaroid ‘I-Type’ film and cameras. In short, […]
Read More...Polaroid Originals Spectra Film Back in Stock in US
The Image/Spectra/1200 line of Polaroid film and cameras has always been a favorite format of mine. The ‘widescreen’ Polaroid featured cameras like the Spectra System that boasted far more controls than most 600 box-types. If you’re also a fan, I have good news: Polaroid Originals color film for Spectra is back in stock in the […]
Read More...New: Nikon Fun Touch 2 Review
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!

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 […]
