Surprise! Pocket Camera Retro Wednesday is back from it’s outrageously long hiatus. What happened this time you ask? Well, it’s simple. While backpacking in Tierra del Fuego with a group of gypsy nuns, I was mugged by a group of very large pre-schoolers. I offered them three of the gypsy nuns and some Pepto Bismol, but unfortunately all they wanted was my cheap pocket cameras. That was a few months ago. It wasn’t until this past weekend that one of those gypsy nuns (feeling terribly guilty no doubt) bought me a new pocket camera, which explains why we are all [...]

Good news everyone! Pocket Camera Retro Wednesdays will be returning this week after its unannounced, and surely unoticed, temporary hiatus. I had actually lost my camera, which explains everything and I can simply end this sentenence without giving you anymore details… right about now.

So, without any more fuss, enjoy this weeks Pocket Camera Retro Wednesday TOKYO [...]

I hate pocket cameras. I hate Merkley??? I hate the tediously generic (TG) look of the majority of photography circulating the web right now. I hate pocket cameras.  I was gifted a pocket camera for Christmas. So, while driving home today and thinking of how Friedlander (look him up if you aren’t following along) was essentially a digital Flickr photography whore who just happened to use a film camera, I came upon the idea of “Pocket Camera Retro Wednesdays (PoCaReW-TG).” What better use of my free time then to perpetuate the very [...]
