Korea: What’s In My Bag

I’m flying out to Seoul, South Korea, at the end of the month to meet up with my best bud, JT White, and thought this might be a good time to tell you what I’m taking with me. This will actually be my first trip alone overseas, and since Faye is not coming with me (she usually wants to bring everything but the kitchen sink! haha) I can get away without having to check-in luggage which will save me time when I make my connecting flight at Heathrow. With only a 10kg weight limit though, travelling light is the order of the day.

My Diary: A Ritual For Consumption

I’ve decided to start a proper photo/word diary inspired by Matt Gomes – look out for an upcoming interview with him!

It’s gonna consist of words/photos. In an effort to give less fucks about what other people think of my photography, I actually plan on posting every photo I take to it, so if you’re interested in seeing all the shit daily pics I take then that’s the place to do it. There’s a ‘Diary’ link up on the menu at the top of my site – or you can get to it by visiting endlessproof.tumblr.com

Finding the Perfect Film Camera

At the beginning of this year, I made a new year’s resolution to learn to develop and scan film at home and I can now say I’ve given it a go and thought I would record my findings in a few posts here.

The thing that made me want to experiment with film again, after not doing so for many years, was the aesthetic. If you’ve read some of my other blogs you’ll already know I’ve become pretty anal about the way my photos look. In my digital photography my post-processing had moved increasingly towards achieving that ‘film look’ so I figured I might as well just make the jump and see how it went.

The first thing I needed was a film camera, so I set about trying to find one I liked.

Lucida Straps: Custom Leather Camera Strap Review

Note: I bought this strap with my own money. I was not asked to write a review, and can assure you that my opinion of the product is honest. I don’t do a lot of product reviews, but this one I just had to tell you about.

I was in the market for a new strap for the Pentax MX that my Dad handed down to me, when my friend Nick introduced me to Lucida Straps. I’m a sucker for anything handmade, and when I saw how beautiful they looked I just had to get one. Nick told me he has four of them, so I guess that’s as good a recommendation as any.

Josh Ethan Johnson on Self-Publishing His First Photo Book

Here’s a little piece that Josh Ethan Johnson has written about self-publishing his first photo book, Endangered Species. Enjoy!

I’m a photo/video guy who’s lived in NYC for 6 years. Last summer I realized I was ready to dip my big toe into the NYC gallery art world so I self published my first photo book. I threw a big launch party and called in all favors. My hopes with the book were modest; to materialize this body of work, meet other photographers, have a glossy portfolio to put in front of galleries and publishers, and make millions. Did it work? Yeah. All but the last part.

Improve your photography by deleting your photographs

Hi, my name is Matt and I am a recovering hoarder of photographs. For years I kept all of the photos I took and I ended up in an unimaginable mess. My best work was being hidden in a sea of shit photos that were cluttering up my Lightroom catalogue. I had lost sight of what it was I was trying to achieve other than collecting thousands of random snapshots. It was time to take some drastic action.
