Fuji Instax Mini: Super sharp and Picture Perfect!
written by sandravo on 2014-01-24 #gearThe first time I noticed these small instant photos I didn't really know what to make of them. Yes, they were nice, colorful and sharp. But why were they so tiny? What was their use? About 10 packs of film later I now know exactly what they are: the Fuji Instax Mini are the perfect little pictures to save the moment in an instant! And to share it with friends!

Summer Festivals in Film: My Festival Summer in LC-Wide Overlaps
written by math0165 on 2013-08-26 #videosAfter not going to any festivals last year, I decided to make this year count and I gotta say, I'm not doing the worst job. Right now we're smack in the middle of August and I just came back from my seventh festival, and I got two more lined up in the next weeks. So, bruised and sleep deprived, I just got back my negatives from the first part of my festival summer, and I could not have captured this crazy festival haze better than with LC-Wide overlaps...

Fresh From the Lab: Take Off Your Socks and Shoes - It's Summertime!
written by sirio174 on 2014-06-20Every year, just a few weeks before summer, I dedicate a series of photos to the joy of living outdoors in this good season. One of the most common pleasures is taking one's socks and shoes off to feel the first warm rays of sun on our pale feet, which were prisoners inside shoes throughout the long winter season. So, it's time to take off your socks and shoes and relax barefoot! Where? Of course, on the walls surrounding the beautiful lake! Take a look!
