day 286 – being on the lake made me feel lazy (well, lazier than usual) and i decided to stay and do some reading. i sold my copy of ‘the beach’ (which was actually very, very good) and snagged a copy of ‘american psycho’ by bret eaton elis. i’ve read it before, but it was [...]

this is brilliant … and hopefully a stepping stone for future advances (and cost reduction) in digital medium format technology. dpreview have reported that mamiya are releasing a digital medium format body for 6000 british pounds and lenses from 2000 pounds. in dollars, that is around $10k, which is astounding for a digital medium format [...]

dear olympus i’m an unhappy camper. i’m unhappy because i’m growing continually more and more frustrated with the olympus business model and approach to selling camera gear. for a long time, i was a great admirer of olympus. you have a strong brand name and a good reputation. back in the day, your film gear [...]

I thought I knew a lot about photography, but I was completely taken by surprise when some photographers started talking about pancake lenses. What is a pancake lens? Jessica, Jeju Island. Photographers are strange people. Sometimes photographers like big lenses, sometimes they like the smallest possible lenses. The smallest lenses available are commonly called pancake [...]

i don’t often post these kinds of photos. i like korea and i prefer to focus on the colourful side of this country’s culture. but last night i was angry and wanted to illustrate that there are many sides to korean culture. one of the most shocking things to me, for a developed country, [...]
