☼ Critical knowledge for the discerning leisure enthusiast: How to make friends with a bird
☼ Pentax just brought out a pretty special new analog film camera. It’s special because camera film is currently expensive as hell, and this camera shoots two images per frame. So a roll of 36 exposures becomes 72. It does this by splitting one landscape orientation image into two portrait orientation images. As someone who mostly shoots 120 medium format film and gets 16 shots per roll… 72 is a lot of images.
☼ A nice idea: keep all your little travel mementos then scan them collage-style to make artworks for your home (or skip the scanning & just frame them straight up)
☼ Martin Scorsese’s list of 39 essential foreign films which he sent to a young filmmaker. Here’s them all on Letterboxd.
☼ The latest in lo-fi “quiet tech” – the Light Phone III is available for pre-order, shipping January 2025. It has a camera, directions, calendar, notes, voice memos, a flashlight, personal hotspot, and a simple music & podcast player. All you need. I love it. More functionality may be pushed in the future via over-the-air updates.
