2020 Sure Sucked, but At Least I Taught Myself How to Create Photogrammetry Models and Experience them in Virtual Reality

I learned a totally new way to use and consume photography that I think has some very thought-provoking and possibly profound implications for the future; I learned how to use normal 2D photography to create ultra-realistic 3D scans of real world locations, and I also learned how to share the experience of being in those locations with anyone.

Developing your Film at Home is Surprisingly Easy and you Should Try It

tutorials

Sure, developing film can be complicated if you want it to be — if you are striving for perfection, working with color film, or if you simply enjoy tinkering with nuances of chemistry.

Earth Day is about Humans

conjectures

No matter what we do — even if we press all of the red buttons and vaporize a good chunk of the planet’s surface — I promise you that the earth will be fine. It has survived extinction events in the past, and it can do it again. I certainly hope that isn’t what happens. But I only hope it because, as a member of the only species that is capable of appreciating the beauty of this place, it would just be a shame to diminish it.

Someone Stole My Camera and It was Great for My Photography

conjectures

(originally published on Medium) I still remember the feeling. If you’ve ever had something expensive stolen from you, you probably remember it too: that sinking sensation when you realize that it’s not where it should be, that disbelief that it’s still gone the next day. It happened to me a few years ago. Some kids […]
