#Love this.

What did Polaroid find when they looked into our digital-analog-loving soul? 

The Polaroid Z2300. 

It shoots digital photos at 10MP, and instantly prints them straight from the camera. The instant prints come with sticky backs, so you can stick your photos in your notebook or on your BFF’s FACE. 

The Polaroid Z2300 - a Digital Instant Cam for Sticky-Back Prints!

Capturing the moment - Newly designed promo postcards coming soon…a twist of my photography with typography. Can’t wait to see these babies printed next week!

#love these photographs from the 1860’s. It’s a time capsule that’s been opened..

“The truth is that anyone can make a photo. The trouble is not that photos are hard to make. The trouble is that photos are hard to make intelligent and interesting.” —John Szarkowski 

I recalled this quote recently while visiting the NY Photo Festival last week in Brooklyn. I enjoyed many of the exhibits, but I came away feeling that the Tokyo-Ga show was the stand-out.  The founder and curator, Ms. Naoko Ohta, has assembled quite a fantastic selection of contemporary Japanese photographers, many of whom were unknown to me.  I am happy to discover the work of two young photographers in particular, Masami Yamamoto and Junpei Kato .  

Yamamoto’s images offer mystery and chiaroscuro, while Kato’s clean lines and colors transcend banal, urban surfaces.  Both photographers are distinctly different, but are alike in how they capture Beauty by taking simplicity and giving it meaning—not an easy thing to do, but the results are intelligent and interesting. —Lane Nevares 

Great Szarkowski quote.
