Notes from the Workshop
On photography, film, music, art, literature, and the creative process in general.

Some thoughts on analog macro photography, some old tricks and why I think it can be fun, mainly because of its limitations.
Buying Vintage Cameras and Lenses: A Note to Myself
Some recent experiences with buying vintage cameras and lenses had me rethink my general approach and come up with a checklist.
