digicam

florida hotel grounds

spent a few days in orlando for work & while florida is not high on my list of favourite states a walk around the resort grounds with my digicam one afternoon did make things seem a little better.

hollywood details

my streak of buying old digital cameras continues...

spent an hour walking around hollywood testing out the latest digicam I’ve added to my collection, the nikon coolpix p7000 which was originally released in 2010. so far I’m finding this little thing pretty fun & I’m excited to experiment more with the build in ND filter & the full manual controls.

a couple shots from a night out in downtown la with my 2009 casio.

dreamy disneyland digicam

spent a day at disneyland & disney’s california adventure reliving childhood memories & eating dole whip with my sony bloggie mhs-pm5. I like the dreamy quality of the sony bloggie when the the light gets low, it becomes almost like a memory.

a saturday spent wandering around joshua tree national park & morongo valley california with a 2010 sony bloggie mhs-pm5.

the impossibility of perfection

journal:

this is the core of the digicam/lofi/camcorder appeal. everything in our world got so polished & perfect & flat; the pressure to look like a glossy magazine life got to be so much that these frankly shitty early devices became irresistible. you literally cannot produce perfect glossed over documentation with a 2004 point & shoot digital camera. it is actually impossible. so the pressure to attempt to do so is lifted entirely. it’s a liberation from the confines of perfection.
