At last, I’m able to unveil a project I’ve been working on the past few months! The Chicago Writers Podcast is a new podcast that I host and produce, and each episode features an interview with a different author, storyteller, literary professional, or other interesting human about the art and business of writing. The first […]
Read More...New: Polaroid Now Review
The Polaroid Now comes close to greatness, but is undone by a wonky autofocus system and a total lack of any manual controls or indicators. While a beautiful camera capable of sharp images, it is frustrating to use. I’d personally recommend either saving money and getting a OneStep 2 or spending a bit extra to […]
Read More...Polaroid Originals Rebrands Again to… Polaroid
For those of you keeping track, back in 2008 Polaroid discontinued their popular line of instant 600, SX-70, and Spectra film. The Impossible Project rose to fill the void by creating new instant film from the ground up that would work with vintage Polaroid cameras. A few years ago, the Impossible Project sort-of merged with […]
Read More...New: Canon Rebel 2000 Review
It’s hard to believe now, but the first half of the first decade of the 21st century (that’s a mouthful) was dominated by film. The SLR cameras from this era are some of the best 35mm ever made. Fortunately, because they’re not (currently) interesting to collectors, they’re cheap and plentiful. The Canon Rebel 2000 is […]
Read More...New: Nikon One Touch L35AF2 Review
I’ve been on the hunt for a great, affordable pocket Nikon 35mm camera that doesn’t break the bank, and I’ve found a winner in the Nikon One Touch, also confusingly labeled the L35AF2 (but not on the camera body, that’d be way too easy). The One Touch is fantastic for travel and street photography, but […]

Just like in the article, I cover the basics of what it means to buy Polaroid these days, and give specific recommendations on different kinds of cameras for different kinds of budgets and shooters.

Read More...iOS 13 iPhone Purple, Blue, and Yellow Banding Issue
Ever since I updated my iPhone XS to iOS 13, I’ve gotten strange banding artifacts randomly in some of my photos when using the main camera on the default photo app. Happening primarily under LED or fluorescent lighting, a pattern of alternating yellow and blue lines emerges from one edge of the photo. This wasn’t […]
Read More...New: Canon G5X Mk II Review
There’s nothing like a high-quality raw one-inch pocket camera to take with you on the road, and I’ve spent the past few weeks testing out the new Canon G5X Mk II, taking it to Ireland and beyond. Despite the limitations of the smallish sensor when compared to the grain-free results you can get from APS-C […]
Read More...iPhone Versus Canon G5X Mk II Camera Shoot Out
Update: My full review of the Canon G5X Mk II is now online. Check it out! While I was working on building a full review of the Canon G5X Mk II (coming very soon!), I couldn’t help but wonder if smartphone cameras had gotten so good that there isn’t much of a point for advanced […]
Read More...Spectra Film Discontinued by Polaroid Originals (Updated February 2021)
Update February 2021: I have a new video up that is an ode and farewell to the format. You can check it out below: (Update April 2020: Polaroid Originals has rebranded itself as ‘Polaroid,’ and the new website has scrubbed all mention of Spectra system film or cameras.
