Field Notes presents: Dry Transfer “____ Edition”

These handy little memo pads now come with dry transfer letters, so you can customize it with whatever phrase you want.  I already have a Threadless edition of Field Notes, but I would sure love to make my own edition. It would be something like “Chem Notes”. or “Musics I Need”, or even “Photoshoot Ideas”. Yup. I want some.

Check it:

Street Fair Season!

When summer rolls around, so do the street fairs, and if you know me, then you know that’s one of my favorite aspects of summer.  To my luck, Refinery 29 has published a guide to making the most of the street fair, and how to survive it.

Check it out: The Street Fair Strategy You'll Use All Summer.

Coming up next weekend: Randolph Street Market Festival (May 28-29).

Living in Colour

…or at least shooting in color.
The Impossible Project has just dropped color film for your Polaroid  600 camera (or if you’re like me, cameras). This is the first flush edition of the PX 680 Color Shade film, so it is still in beta-test mode, although the results are promising. Can’t wait to get my hands on this film!
