Complaining about the iPhone’s camera?
Posted at 6:06 pm | Filed Under blog
Kyle Cassidy’s take on the iPhone’s camera, from his iPhonetography site: THE CAMERA THAT COMES WITH THE iPHONE IS TERRIBLE Many people decry it’s smallish megapixel count (3), but really, as any serious digital photographer will tell you, size doesn’t matter. The most frustrating thing about the image that comes from the iPhone is the […]

Nostalgia for the Now
Posted at 7:39 pm | Filed Under blog
(Here’s a great article by Peggy Nelson about nostalgia, memories, and how digital media allows us to interpret memories independently of what we capture on media…) Photographs give us the ability to capture what we see, more or less. And apps give us the ability to capture what we wish. So what do we wish […]

The Day My Grandmother Exploded, by Kyle Cassidy
Posted at 6:08 pm | Filed Under blog
[via Kyle Cassidy’s Livejournal ] Two weeks ago I got this crazy idea in my head to find a ten year old 1.3 megapixel Leica Digilux and make a series of images with it based on lines people sent me from novels. Well, it’s done. It’s a 24 page booklet called The Day My Grandmother […]

Originally posted by kylecassidy: A Reader Writes: I want to be a photographer someday. Any advice? Yes, lots. Photography is a mixture of Artistic Ability and Technical Skill — the magic of the mix isn’t written in stone. The world is filled with technically proficient but artistically uninspired photographers, there seem to be a smaller […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — MR. COFFEE DARK ROAST
Posted at 5:00 am | Filed Under blog
I didn’t know Mr. Coffee sold coffee! This was on closeout at Walgreens, and brewed be a surprisingly nice cuppa. Medium to dark body, not overly bitter, and a nice punch to it – I made one cup to get me awake at oh-dark-hundred and made another cup in my travel mug for the road. […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week, On the Road — McDONALDS
Posted at 6:23 pm | Filed Under blog
McDonalds? Good Coffee? McDonalds has been on a campaign to take some of Starbucks’ coffee business. They’ve changed their coffee suppliers and now offer espresso drinks in 70 percent of their restaurants. That’s a LOT of restaurants, and it’s got Starbucks looking in their rear view mirror. I thought I’d try a plain old cuppa […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — MARKET PANTRY BREAKFAST BLEND
Posted at 5:30 pm | Filed Under blog
With all of the cheap coffees in my pantry, it’s high praise for a brand when I go buy the brand twice. There have been a couple of repeat buys over the past few months, most notably Yuban Original. Market Pantry coffee will NOT be a repeat buy. Watery, weak, slightly bitter – everything cheap […]

On Lomography
Posted at 11:03 am | Filed Under blog
I’ve known Sarah Zucker for some time through her photography online. her essay, On Lomography echoes many of the sentiments regarding “Lomography” that I’ve been feeling. Other “Lomographers” inspired me to begin capturing intimate and mundane moments in my life on film. I shared my photos on lomo.org and lomo.us, two online bulletin boards, and […]

It’s Not The Photographer, It’s The Camera!
Posted at 7:23 pm | Filed Under blog
I enjoy reading the high end DSLR discussion boards on the internet. Those gearheads go ape over minute differences in “chromatic aberration” and “barrel distortion”. They peep at pixels in Photoshop to see if their lens is able to give them a sharp image blown up to the size of the side of a barn. […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week – DUNKIN DONUTS ORIGINAL BLEND
Posted at 8:51 am | Filed Under blog
When it comes to cheap coffee, Dunkin Donuts is the proverbial 800-pound gorilla in the room. They’re making a play for America’s coffee pot and want to be a competitor to Starbucks in made-to-go coffee. At $6.00 for a 12 oz bag at my local Target store, however, DD enters the cheap coffee realm. While […]

Posted at 9:19 am | Filed Under blog
This was another can’t-pass-it-up deal – $2.99 for 10.5 ounces at Walgreens. It’s a decent, medium-bold blend. I find myself making an afternoon cup on weekends. Normally, I never drink coffee on weekends after my morning cuppa.

Cheap Coffee of the Week — FOLGERS CLASSIC ROAST
Posted at 11:41 am | Filed Under blog
Folgers was on sale for $4.99/10.5 ounce can at Safeway. It’s nowhere near as smooth as Yuban Original, but rich with nuances of formica counters, leatherette and chrome stools, heavy diner mugs, pies in refrigerated cases and waitresses named Vera. The can went surprisingly fast. I’d buy another can, but I’m playing the coffee field […]

Cheap Coffee of the Week — ARCHER FARMS ITALIAN ROAST
Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under blog
Decent coffee? AT TARGET? Cheap. $6.79/12 oz bag. Ground or whole bean. Italian, French, Columbian and Guatemalan blends. Surprisingly smooth, not the freshest beans in the bag, but buzzworthy. Worth a look. Target sometimes has small bags of coffee for $1 and online $1 off coupons. Doesn’t get much cheaper than FREE.
