I took the new (to me, it was actually "new" in 1973) Hasselblad with me to LA last week. I hadn't had it serviced, so I knew the results were likely to be a little dicey. I got the negatives back yesterday and oh boy there

Hasselblad

A couple of weeks ago, I took the plunge and bought an old (1973) Hasselblad 500CM on eBay. There have been a few teething problems, but this is the first successful image out of it and has made me fall in love with film all over again. I took the

Aaron Sorkin's open letter to Mark Zuckerberg

I'm not usually a fan of the open letter, as it just feels kind of performative to me, but this one is very good. I left Facebook a few months ago and, as this whole political ad thing plays out, I'm happy to file that as one of my better decisions.
