An Ode to the Sprocket Hole

I kludged together an adapter to fit 35mm film canisters in my Pentax 67, here are the results! There's more after the break, too.

Hilo Beaches

Hilo, Hawaii - my hometown - is not exactly known for its beautiful beaches. Most are rough, rocky affairs, the bottom covered in sharp stones and slimy growth. But there is some beauty to be found in their austerity.

Review: Incase DSLR Sling Pack

Camera bags are one of those things that are hard to get just right. If they're compact and sleek, they won't hold all of your stuff, and when they do, often times they're too big to carry around with you everywhere. Backpacks are comfortable, but they tend to be big and you have to take them off to access your gear. Shoulder bags are convenient, but are a pain in the neck. And the list goes on and on. But I've found what seems like a good compromise, in the form of the Incase DSLR Sling Pack. See the full review after the jump!

The Analog Pixel

Photographers of this day and age are at a crossroads. Some swear by the convenience and newness of their digital machines, while others would sooner drown in their baths of Dektol and Photoflo. Digital and analog photography are very different beasts, but they cannot be extricated from one another. At some point in the analog workflow, the image is scanned into bits and bytes, massaged in some editing program, and dispersed into the intertubes. Digital photography would be nothing if not for its predecessor, in fact, great lengths are taken to emulate the analog feel.

Without pretense, I consider myself an amateur photographer and surely no expert in the field of photography. I am a student at a university in the Pacific Northwest, and although I do some photography work, it is first a hobby and a source of pleasure. This blog is a reflection of my experiences as both an analog and digital photographer.
