35mm Point and Shoots vs. Your iPhone

I made this video out of frustration. Sometimes I just want to take photos of weird stuff I find, and I need a camera that won't get in the way or cost me a bunch of money to shoot photo by photo. Film cameras can have amazing vibes, but is that worth it?

Polaroid Flip V Polaroid I-2: Dawn of Justice!

Let's try this again. A few weeks ago, I compared the new Polaroid Flip with the Polaroid I-2 and got distracted by the quirks and unevenness of Polaroid film. This episode is much more true to Double Negative form: A completely technically unsatisfying and boringly philosophical look at what these cameras are actually for, and how we should look at cameras in relation to our photography in the first place.

No Creative Community? Go to Photography Meet-Ups!

I just got back from PolaCon in New York City, and boy was it refreshing! It's tough when you don't live in a big city or have a big creative community, because you can get stuck in your head. Going to photography meet-ups and events like PolaCon can really help jumpstart your mind and be inspiring. There are so many people out there doing really cool stuff, and the best way to get connected is to just show up to a space IN REAL LIFE and just hang out with people. I highly recommend it.

28mm Lens vs. 85mm Lens: Turn Your Photography into Gold with Extreme Focal Lengths!

I recently went on a cross country road trip and shot with only a 28mm lens and an 85mm lens in order to try and push myself to get the most interesting photos I could. In this episode, I talk about leaning on extremes to boost your creativity, but also why it's important to try and avoid shooting the same photos as everyone else.

A Polaroid Flip Desert Road Trip

The Polaroid Flip is awesome. Polaroid's film formulation is still pretty inconsistent and annoying sometimes. The desert is really hot. National Parks aren't my vibe.
