Small Wonders

I got into photography about eleven years ago when I bought my first DSLR to film this skate video for a friend’s sponsorship pitch. Having completed the project, I started experimenting with stills as I scoured Flickr and 500px for inspiration. The images that did it for me were often close-ups of the little natural phenomena you’d find in a forest.

Shanghai Streets

Magazine Review

A zine or a mag is typically something created at home or designed outside of the traditional publisher realm, which Shanghai Streets certainly is. Still, if I were to put it on my shelf, it’d go in the “magazine” section as that’s what it feels like to me.

Graphic Experiments Amid Covid-19

The winter strikes. The night falls. A blurry window, a keyhole looking out. The cold, desolate street with just one sigh left among the quivering trees. The hellish plague affrights us. Impelling us to choose between the loneliness indoors and the pestilence of outdoors.

Revue 35XE/Blada CA35/Voigtländer Vito C

1983 German 35mm Viewfinder

A Tiny Plastic Wonder

Weighing a mere 175g with film + batteries and measuring 4x2½x1”, Revue 35XE is about the smallest and lightest 35mm film camera on the planet. It has a sharp wide-ish 𝒇2. 8 38mm lens and a beautiful viewfinder with bright lines. The Revue is a zone-focus camera, meaning that you’d have to guestimate the distance to your subject and dial that in — both feet and metres are marked on the lens barrel.

Plus, Why Did Zeiss’ Cameras Stop Selling

In this article, I talk about my father-in-law’s Contaflex camera and how looking for a wider-angle lens led me to discover the Contarex. I also talk about the reason why I think Zeiss lost its top market position in the 1960s. I’ve recorded my dialogue on this topic while riding bikes and taking pictures in Vienna in-between the lockdowns.

A Slice of the Countryside

South America — Brazil

Experiencing the Pandemic Onset in São Paulo, Brazil.

My name is Marina Leal; I’m a 23-year-old Brazilian, nearing the end of my International Relations studies. Recently, I’ve been trying to find my way in the political art space. When they first declared the lockdown here in my city, Bauru, in the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil, I ran to an old store downtown to buy what would be a very important film roll for me.
