Superdawg

July 31, 2025 at 1:30 pm

The Superdawg Drive-In on Milwaukee Avenue is such an awesome Chicagloand institution. My favorite order is a Superdawg with a Pineapple Supershake.

I love the pickled green tomato that comes on the side. We’ve also been to their location in Wheeling which is very nice!

It’s usually too hot in July to go for long walks in the Florida Panhandle, but it has rained almost every day so far this summer which has kept things a bit cooler. I took my Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 along with me for this walk through Watercolor and Seaside hoping it would capture some nice shots, and it did not disappoint!

I think the Samsung digital camera I used to have might have been a bit better, but this Kodak is really growing on me. I have not applied any filters to these, they are straight from the camera.

Here are some of my recently rediscovered photos of the AIC from 10 years ago that I posted on Twitter using the now defunct ‘Twitpic’ platform. Enjoy!

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.

Coney Island

Here are a couple photos I took at Coney Island during the winter of 2002 with a Le Clic camera on 110 film. There is something so beautiful about these imperfect old prints, how they capture the moment.
