Photography

One of my major interests. I'm a bit poor so you're not going to see Leica loving or Hasselblad hogging. One of these days I'll flesh out this piece of text bigtime. For starters I've written a little about the cameras I have used and abused, then there are some miscellaneous writings on this and that, and links to sites I frequent, eventually a guide for zero-budget mediumformat photography, maybe even the ABCs of film photography, something about the psychology of it and my way, ideology of photography.

Cameras in a chronological order

  • Old red plasticy 80's point & shoot - My first camera
  • Canon EOS 650 - Old hunk of comfortable, lovely junk
  • Canon PowerShot A80 - One of the best 2003 digital semi-compacts if you ask me
  • Atlantic Royal TLR - Cheap and tasteful TLR with great glass and features
  • Kodak Brownie from 1937 - Words words
  • Polaroid something or another SE - Never got working film for this one but I was impressed with the plastic at least
  • Mamiya 645 - Superb mediumformat SLR, had the fastest lense in mediumformat with this
  • Tiny cheap toycamera - Not quite Holga, never got around to repairing the shutter mechanics
  • Yashica T3 - Compact point & shoot with great glass and a waist-level finder
  • Agfa Synchro Box - Cheap as muck boxcam worth picking up for fun
  • Goerz Tengor - Over 80 year old classic folder, added a pressure plate to this
  • Minolta Dimage X31 - Tiny and crappy digital camera, even by yesteryears standards
  • Canon EOS 100 - Semiprofessional cheap SLR
  • Canon Canonet 28 - Cute and innovative rangefinder
  • Canon QL19 - The big brother of the 28, but not the oldest member of the Canonet family
  • Canon PowerShot S2 IS - The most value for money I've gotten out of a digital camera

Various photography related writings
