LMT N°2: New beginnings and delayed transmissions
Well, the first (only!) newsletter went out in August of last year, which means this is almost a year late! .. I’m not going to try to cover all of the year in between so that I might actually get this one written.
Studies in a San Francisco rooftop
I hung out with some friends and grabbed some shots with the X-Pro2.
LMT N°1: On Soviet Knock-Offs and (Not-So) Great Heights
This is the latest attempt at long-form writing, meant to be adjacent to my photography site. Maybe people subscribe, maybe they don't, but hopefully it'll force at least semi-regular long-form updates.
Review: Meike 35mm f/1.7 Manual Focus Prime Lens
I recently picked up a Meike MK-FX-35-1.7 35mm f/1.7 lens for my X-Pro2. At $90, it is the cheapest lens I could find for the camera (and 35mm, too, which is the focal length I was looking at).
Walking around Berkeley
I walked around Berkeley (really, mostly Shattuck and University) lugging the X-Pro2 along. 112 shots pared down to 19 that made it to editing, with 11 of those surviving that I'm more or less happy with.
Book Review: The Cellist of Sarajevo
The Cellist of Sarajevo is a beautiful story, and perhaps a shorter read. I quite enjoyed it.
