23 Days in Myanmar
Yangon, Nyang Shwe, and Bagan
September 5, 2017
It’s been over three years since Betty and I gave up our apartment in Toronto and began travelling across Asia. So far, we’ve seen eleven countries. Vietnam was one of our favourites — spent around three months there. China is where some of Betty’s relatives live; we travelled around the western part of it for about six months.

Testing the Olympus Supertrip in Shanghai
A New Old Camera in a New Old City
July 29, 2017
The Olympus Supertrip is the second of two film cameras I picked up from a charity shop in Nottingham. The other was a Canon Sure Shot AF-7. If you’ve not read it yet, I’d recommend the article I wrote about them both here. While the test run of the Canon Sure Shot AF-7 was mainly done in Chongqing, I tested the Olympus Supertrip once I’d got back to Shanghai.

Brighton Beach
July 29, 2017
Brighton Beach is a Russian community neighbourhood in New York. When I was growing up in Moscow as a kid I’ve heard a lot about it on TV: the magical place where one can become and live like an American. During the early 90s, there was an obsession with everything USA; it suddenly became “amazing and wonderful”, instead of “the villain” — a narrative it was given for over fifty years prior. Perestroika flipped the entire culture onto its head.

This is the first post to go onto this website. I am nervous, tipsy, grateful, and excited. Analog. Cafe began as an idea less than a year ago. Today it is many things, compiled from efforts by many people. Thank you all who have helped me make this project happen!
