I’ll walk you through what works, what doesn’t, and why it will stay in my kit.

(Panasonic LX10 Review 2025)One Month Two Cameras2025-06-27 | Okay, let’s talk about point and shoot cameras. I love them. I miss them. And I want them back. In this video, I explore what happened to photo-first compact cameras and share my real-world thoughts after using the Panasonic LX10 in 2025. It's part love letter, part review, and part open letter to the camera industry.
We’ll talk about: Why compact cameras disappeared What makes the 2016 released Panasonic LX10 still great (and what holds it back) What makes a great compact camera What I want from future camera releases (hello, Canon, Nikon, Sony and Fuji)
Whether you’re a Ricoh GR fan, a Fuji X100 die-hard, or just someone who wants a pocketable camera that feels good to shoot, this one’s for you.

It’s not cheap. It’s not from a brand or using a format most people would consider. And I really didn’t need another camera. I bought it with the knowledge that I could return it within a month if it didn't sit right but this oddly understated little camera has become the one I reach for most. It's compact, lightweight (much more so than my old Nikon ZF) and gives me everything I need. But more importantly, it's FUN. Is it for everyone? No. But for me, it’s desert island material.

I walked (or took the ferry) everywhere I could with my OM System OM-3 and Nikon Coolpix P310 in hand. Nothing fancy but lots of love for this city.The (Beautiful Foolish?) Sigma BFOne Month Two Cameras2025-04-14 | In a world filled with predictable gear and safe bets, this camera has made me rethink photography. But would I buy it, and is it right for you? Here are my thoughts after a couple weeks of hands on experience with the Sigma BF. And shout out to my friend @beaconfilmphoto for putting up with my camera testing in NYC.Instant Before Instant (with the not-so-instant Canon M6)One Month Two Cameras2025-03-02 | This video was supposed to be about the history of the photo booth. But with only three days in NYC and a packed work schedule, I just didn’t have the time… or so I thought. What started as a missed opportunity became a full-circle journey through the splendors of instant photography, lost connections, disappointing cameras, and the unadulterated joy of a shared obsession. So here’s to 100 years of the Photomaton and to the people who keep all things photographic alive and well. 🎞✨My Dry Social January, a 16 Year Old Camera + Where Ive BeenOne Month Two Cameras2025-02-09 | Time for a little catch up after a month offline.
