I got a chance to check out Maker Faire with Christine on Sunday and we had our picture taken at the eSurance photobooth. They didn’t give us much time, but I’m still proud I managed to spell out “BOOB” before the flash went of.

I’m so honored to have a full page in this month’s Wired magazine (June 2012, with Adam Savage on the cover). It’s an article about me and four of my favorite iPhone photography apps: Camera+, AntiCrop, Decim8, & Filterstorm.

What’s funny is that even though I love all of these apps, I’m only still using one of them on a regular basis. Things move fast in the app world. In case you missed them before, here are some tutorials for AntiCrop and Camera+.

Sometimes you fuck up. Your film is too old, shots to exposed, or maybe you even opened your camera halfway through a roll of film. With this batch of film, I pretty much did all of these things… but I’m glad I decided to process it anyways. The shot above, of my friend Isaac Fitzgerald, was the victim of this opened roll, luckily the film was partially retracted into the canister, so only part of the film got exposed to light, leaving the appearance of Isaac running into the sun.

The paper in the shot above says “A View To A Kill”… I waited by this news bin waiting for someone to grab a copy and was so happy to finally capture this shot where (in theory) you could see this bold headline… the exposure in this case was not as forgiving as with Isaac’s.

In the burnt out skeleton of this apartment building on Mission Street, you can spot this statue through the window on the second floor.

A year back I was lucky enough to have a feature story in the New York Times about my mobile photography and Instawalk projects. I’m extremely thrilled to announce that the Times is now using some of my photos and work in their national advertising! I’ve already been hearing from friends that they spotted my photo mixed in with other commercials on a national station. I know advertising isn’t super awesome, but at least it’s better than that god damned “It’s not a girl, it’s bacon” ad that runs 24/7 on Comedy Central. There’s also an artist-centric landing page on the Times that links to my how-to series.

This batch of film is the first (successful) batch that I developed myself. Actually, it was developed by Christine and myself at the Noisebridge dark room. The pics are from the show opening at the Lomography Gallery, a beach in San Jose, and Ellis St just outside our office. It was shot on Kodak’s Tri-X film (which I fucking love!) on my new LCA cam (which I also love!). Can’t wait to see how Tri-X performs in my GR1.

Dream Tiger: Liz Wolf’s (from Why?) new project is named after a Mighty Boosh reference and is working on a full album of Janet Jackson covers! debut album of original songs. (via Bomarr):

Hungry Cloud Darkening: From the midwest, but playing in SF this Sunday. Reminiscent of Saturday Looks Good To Me. “Our Fog” is a favorite track so far. Also best heard with headphones.

Astronautilis: I first heard of Astronautilus when watching this trailer for his upcoming documentary. Was impressed enough to purchase (and enjoy) his newest album (Amazon). For fans of Sage Francis, Murder City Devils, B. Dolan, and Will Oldham… I know that’s a pretty random ass list of bands, but there you go.

Son Lux remixed: A great compilation of Son Lux songs remixed by Baths, Alias, and others. Proceeds go towards VSA and Accessibility.

Isaiah Toothtaker: dark hip hop. This violent ass kind of rap is not normally my thing, but ever since I heard his verse from the GoingBackToCali-esque “Hyperbolic Chamber Music” track I’ve been liking him more and more. Worth noting; Isaiah’s “cover” of the memed-out internet classic “Bed Intruder” song features samples of the North Carolina A&T marching band’s cover of the internet hit. Here’s a link to the “Intruder” video, but I warn you, it’s disturbing as shit!

Squarepusher: Yeah, so this guy has a new album out today too.

I’m so stoked to have one of my photos showing tonight at the Diana World Tour tonight at the Lomography Store in SF. Mike Estee happened to be walking by and took the above photo of me taking my “Scooter” photo, which happens to be a personal favorite since I’ve been shooting film, on my Diana camera. Awesome timing!

Anyways, come see the shot up close, and read the story behind it:

I was lucky enough to spend my Cuatro De Mayo riding around in a limousine packed with mariachi performers courtesy my friends at Uber. For a couple of hours, folks where able to log into Uber’s app and schedule a private appearance by one of three mariachi bands. Here are some of my film shots (taken on my Ricoh TF-500), if you like them I’d suggest checking out this Objective Scenes post to see my favorite iPhone shots from this ride too.

Recently acquired a modified Holga lens for my SLR as well as a bunch of ten year old Agva Vista film… so I put them together and got these shots. It’s hard to tell what effects are coming from what, but I’m assuming the really soft bright spots are the results of the plastic lens. Further analog adventures can be seen here.

I had a great time performing at last weekend’s super secret Pulsewave show in NYC. I had a great time meeting people, watching Falling For a Square, and covering Double Take’s “Hot Problems“… I don’t know if there’s a recording of the latter, but I did get this cool gif from Lucius Kwok as well as the photo below from Chiptography.

My next gig will be a dj set this Sunday at the DNA Lounge with Crashfaster and Peelander-Z.
