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.

Read More...New Video: How Much is My Polaroid Camera Worth?
All of my free time this month has been consumed by the novel manuscript I’ve been editing, but I found a moment to record a new video! One of the more common questions I get is from people who just dug up a Polaroid camera and are wondering how much they’d get for the thing […]
Read More...New: Nikon N90s Camera Review
I’m finally getting around to reviewing my backlog of Nikon film SLR cameras! First up is the trusty ol’ Nikon N90s. This 90s-era camera can be had for peanuts today, and works great with decades’ worth of lenses. I still prefer the excellent Nikon F100, but you can’t go wrong with this guy. Read the […]
Read More...New: Spectra System and Spectra AF Camera Guide
The Polaroid Spectra System and Spectra AF cameras are some of the best low-cost vintage Polaroid cameras out there for serious shooters, and one of the things that makes them so great is all the controls they give. To help understand how to use them, I’ve created a new guide to how to shoot the […]
Read More...New: Video Tutorials!
At long last, I’m adding video to this site! I’ve always wanted to do video tutorials, but wasn’t sure how to approach what seemed like a monumental task. This weekend I decided to dive right into the deep end, and created three brand new videos. I’m going to be making more, so let me know […]

After the recent fall of packfilm, some good news in the world of film photography! Kodak is bringing back the venerable 3200 ISO black and white film… sort of. It doesn’t seem to be exactly the same film as the old version, but it should hopefully get similar results. The new version of the film […]
