    Love it.

    My brother is a huge proponent of the toy-lens-on-fancy-camera aesthetic. I don’t even know what camera he’s got, some big Sony Alpha thing, but for the past 5 years he’s pretty much exclusively used a 3D printed manual focus disposable camera lens adapter.

    My prolific use of 25 to 30 year old point-and-shoots is so hilariously contrasted by my most recent photography friend. He just bought some crazy Fujifilm X-series something-or-other, and spends like 80% of the time we’re out together tweaking his settings or fussing about the metering or something something about the histogram… I walk up, click one button, produce interesting and memorable photo, walk away lol

    I will be in Chicago in November for work! I’m excited to drag some of my cameras with me.
