Impossible Glitch

Impossible Glitch

This Polaroid took 5 months to develop.

I often come across photography nerds that are either die-hard “iPhoneographers” or “analog purists”, but I’ve never felt comfortable picking a side. In the fall of 2012 I was searching for a way to able to merge my digital and analog photography together when I came across the Instant Lab project on Kickstarter. The Instant Lab is a new tool for transferring images from an iPhone screen directly onto a piece of Polaroid film. (See it in action here)

Swanko Lab recipes

Birdfeeder

During one of our weekly Mobile Photography and Storytelling Show podcasts (man, we really gotta work on that name), I was telling some of the other guests about my love of SwankoLab. I’m usually not a fan of photo filtering apps, but SwankoLab (from the makers of Hipstamatic) allows you to create your own “recipes”… and WOW is it great for black and whites. So I thought I’d list a few of my personal recipes for other folks to use. Note: some of these may require buying the “Uncle Stu’s deluxe thingy” pack.

Some Digital Harinezumi shots from 8bitSF

Crashy Faster

Last week was the big 8bitSF show in at the DNA Lounge in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference. Lots of talented bands (Bright Primate, Disasterpeace, Crashfaster, etc) on stage and chip music fans in attendance. As a personal challenge, I thought it’d be cool to capture some shots on my Harinezumi, which certainly isn’t my first choice for low light shots. Here are the results.

Missed the zine release party? You can still see the show at Lomo SF.

Zine release party

update: I’ve added photos of the available prints (at bottom). If interested, please ping me to arrange payment and pickup.

Months of work (and nailbiting) culminated in this weekend’s zine release party at Lomography SF. I’m so happy that the show was such a success. Thanks to Lomography, Photoworks SF, Speakeasy Beer, and everyone who came out and picked up a copy!

IF you missed the show, you can still buy a copy of the zine from my webstore, or stop by the Lomography SF gallery and see some of my best photos from American Analog on display for the next few weeks. These HUGE prints also happen to be for sale for just $70 each. Hit me up if you’d like to buy one.

How to restore RSS functionality to your eBay searches

rssebay

Let’s say you are a collector of rare Casios. In particular, maybe you are on the hunt for the coveted DM-100. You could make a habit of frequently checking eBay in hopes of catching one of the 3 or 4 DM-100s that get listed each year, or you could just create your own customized RSS search for the DM-100 and relax knowing that anytime one gets listed, you’ll see it.

The #Instabet

A few years back some friends and I started working on the Instabet project, a crowdsourced collection of Instagram-ed alphabet letters that can be used to create your own photo-words. The talented Analogp1xel even created this handy Instabet tool for quickly creating photo-words.
