Favourite Cameras: Pentax Espio 115G
As a rule, I generally don’t bother with point-and-shoot zoom cameras, preferring the simplicity and reliability of their fixed-focal-length brethren. But a couple of factors made the Pentax Espio 115G unusually appealing to me. First, the price was right: $6 at a local thrift store. Hard to complain about that. Second, I’d had a very good experience with another Pentax Espio (the Espio Mini, reviewed here). Third (and I recognize this is going to sound terribly superficial), I love the way the camera looks. With its brushed stainless steel front and matte black body, the Espio 115G is very handsome. Luckily, there turned out to be much more to this camera than just good looks! Continue reading

Midnight in America
(Camera: Olympus Pen-D; Film: Kodak Ektar 100)
Last summer I spent some time in Marshfield, Massachusetts. It’s a lovely seaside town, and as usual, I was never without a camera — usually carrying an Olympus Pen D, half-frame camera on this trip. There something about knowing you have 72 shots in a roll that encourages experimentation. Once I returned home, I realized I had taken a number of photos that shared several elements that lent the images a kind of cohesiveness. As part of my year-end housekeeping, I decided assembled those images into this little gallery.

10 Faves From 2012

(Camera: Agfa Isolette II; Film: Fuji Reala 100)
It’s the end of the year, which is traditionally a time for backward reflection and, of course, lists. Everyone loves lists, especially — top 10s. It’s practically the only thing TV news programs run during the final days of the year. Although I have picked 10 of my favourite images from 2012, it’s hard to think of this really as a Top 10. In truth, the selection is almost arbitrary since it’s impossible to be objective about one’s own work. On another day, I might choose 10 completely different images. Continue reading
