about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

Camera vs. Capture
I hear the debate all the time. Some if not most photographers will tell you its not important what camera you have. Although the first thing I get asked most frequently is what camera do you use followed by what lens is that? I have to wonder do they attribute photo quality to cost of the camera. My best work has not always come from the most expensive piece of equipment in my bag. Personally I think the focus (pardon my pun) should be … Continue reading
My Secret White Balance Weapon
I’m all about streamlining these days. Shortcuts, cliff notes, convection ovens… ANYTHING to make my life more efficient. I was talking with Kevin at Calumet Photo the other day about my workflow (the process of downloading photos, editing and finally exporting the finished product). I shared my frustrations with the amount of time I was spending editing (color correct, contrast, exposure etc.) my photos. I thought with my new camera that my photos would be infinitely better straight out of … Continue reading
