ROLL CALL: Holiday HALF FRAMES

For Christmas, nestled under the tree was a Pentax 17. I’m excited to share a few—okay, more than just a few—half frames captured from the very first roll of film I ran through it. This camera is an absolute blast to use; honestly, don’t believe everything you read on the internet, especially not from the haters out there complaining about resolution. I like my photos crunchy, grainy with a little stank on ‘em. Using this camera is genuinely fun, and that’s really about all you can ask for.

Lately

Read an article in the New Yorker this week about Instagram photo dumps. The premise of the article was that posting albums of 20 photos nowadays, a photo dump, is the only way to garner any attention on the platform.

“On today’s social media, the only way to counteract the overflow of online content is to put out an overflow of your own.”

All that to say, I’ve always been a proponent of the snapshot. Photography doesn’t always need to be so serious and have a story arc, a snapshot or series of snapshots is just fine too. That is precisely what I did on a recent business trip to Austin.
