Test Drive: Ultra Wide and Slim

Recently I purchased this 35mm camera from Photojojo.com. I wanted a light-weight and fun camera for weekend photos. Although digital is super easy and much more practical, I like the whimsy and surprise that you get from traditional photo development. I was still testing the light I would need for this camera, and several of my photos just didn’t have enough. Even still, I love the contrast and low-fi pictures that it produced. The last few photos of the roll were exposed accidentally, adding yet another surprise effect.

Favorite Movie Trailers

I truthfully can’t claim to know anything about filmmaking or about the merits of a good trailer. I do watch a lot of movies and see a lot of trailers, both enticing and not. Trailers are my favorite advertisements. The good ones make me want to see those movies instead. The best ones make me want to watch them over and over again. Sometimes the trailer is better than the movie, and that’s ok. Here are three I keep coming back to.
