Point and Shoot

May 1, 2025 at 6:09 am

I’ve always loved taking photos, and over the years my smartphone has become my main camera. But lately (especially with my iPhone 15 Pro Max that combines data from 3 lenses to create an optimized photo), I feel like the results often look unreal. I’m not ready to invest in an analog film camera, or an expensive Leica, so as a compromise I got myself a Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 digital camera.

I’m still reading the manual and learning the different settings, but I’m already really enjoying the results. These two photos from a recent evening walk are completely unedited, directly from the camera. They remind me of film photos from my childhood, there is just something special about them.

I sometimes use apps such as Tezza or VSCO to add character to my iPhone photos. But this little digital camera is bringing back the thrill of taking a simple unmanipulated image that magically captures the essence of the moment, without having to add any filters or special effects.

Artistic Process

January 15, 2024 at 1:55 am

I thought it would be fun to share my artistic process from my recent cartoon ‘Santa‘ next to the finished product.

The pencil sketch was done on basic 8.5 x 11 in. copy paper, and the finished product was inked on 9 x 12 in. smooth Bristol, then scanned and colored in Photoshop.
