Here’s my 2022 year in books, along with my recommendations and stats.
Noah Kalina has been taking a selfie every day for 23+ years. They all have a home now on everyday.photo. Bonus: the sort features are really fun to play with.
Ah… everything old is new again, as Gen Zers discover their grandma’s point-and-shoot digital cameras. “I felt so off the grid, and it almost went hand in hand, using a camera that wasn’t connected to a phone.”
I enjoy reading about the creative process and liked this Q&A with musician and label founder NNAMDÏ , especially where he talks about writer’s block:
I believe that you write some things that are better or worse. But I don’t think that there are no ideas at all. I think you just have shitty ideas sometimes. And sometimes, you have decent ideas, and sometimes, you have great ideas. I don’t think there’s a block. I guess what maybe some people consider a block is when they’re writing ideas they don’t love. But I feel like that’s all part of the process.
I’ve switched to Canon (yes, the R5!) which means I’m selling all my Sony gear.
Happy New Year, Melissa! Enjoy your new Canon R5 - it's a great camera. Cheers.
