School started this week and turns out the only one with homework this weekend is me. I have to sit down with pen and paper and write a letter to my 9 year old. A letter that will accompany a very unique portrait taken by Jason Watts and his 4 x 5 camera and 150 year…

Polaroid Week 2014
Ok, bonus post this week. Today starts Day 1 of Polaroid Week (formerly known as ‘RoidWeek.) If you are just joining us this is Part 2, the Autumn series, part one happens in May. A long time tradition that used to happen just once a year has now spawned into a biannual thing. I always…
I love film // week 37
Last week I talked about my newly rekindled love for film, roll film. I take Polaroids all the time, that’s a given, but what I haven’t explored is 120, medium format. How do I explain medium format to my non photog friends? It has to with with image sensors and size of the film. Basically…
10 on 10 // Coupling
Here’s a new one for us. During our last virtual hangout we were talking about the February 10 on 10 trying to come up with something clever. We find our inspiration from the same places, same memes, same people but we don’t always push ourselves to break free from the pack. This is when I…
10 on 10 Restarting
We are back! All six, maybe seven of us with a fresh 10 on 10 series for January in the theme of restarting. This is part of an ongoing series that happens on the 10th of every month and was spurred on after our collective thoughts during our trip to Tofino, late last year. If you…
10 on 10
Last month the group of us from my Tofino trip started our own 10 on 10 project, you shoot on the same day and pick 10 of our favorites and then link to one another. Its like a pub crawl, minus the beer and the hangover. This month we were looking for festivity, I felt a…
10 on 10
This is a new one for me the 10 on 10. Basically its 10 photos taken on one day and shared on the 10th day of the month. I decided to be a purest and take my 10 ON the 10th, hence the late night post. Its almost midnight and I promised my travel companions…
Oasis | Palm Springs Photo Retreat
I have been working on this post since the day after I unpacked from my Oasis trip, 3 weeks ago. This means this is insanely long. I apologize. Life has been busy and nothing even remotely as fun as my photo retreat in Palm Springs. For 4 and a half days I lounged, I rode a…
Photo Assignment: Duran Duran
I’ve been thinking about Duran Duran lately. I miss them. I know its going to be a while before they come back. Every person who follows a band intensely knows the kind of post tour let down I’m talking about. They tour, they stop in your city and if you are lucky enough they wind their…
Polaroid *Roid Week* 2012
Roid Week finished up a couple weeks ago (it ran from August 13-17) after a full week of shooting, scanning, uploading and then finally drooling over each others “successes.” If you are a Polaroid shooter yourself then you know how illusive a good shot can be especially using some of the newer film coming out…
