Or, couples who meet playing board games make nerdy honeymoon plans NOTEI’ve been working on this post since… April 2023. A combination of work, ADHD, and perfectionism had delayed this until now. I was inspired to finish writing this while reading Winnie Lim’s travelogue documenting her trip to Japan, and gentle coaxing by my wife,…
After a long time hemming and hawing, I finally have a Ricoh GRIIIx HDF! It’s been a very long time since I’ve shot with a dedicated camera. I borrowed an X100 for a trip two years ago, but ever since prices of film went up, and the cost for development and scanning became unaffordable for…
It’s been a short week, with Holi on Monday, and Good Friday on, well, Friday. I’ve been trying to write a weeknote for the last two weeks and haven’t made any progress. Other than typing out so this week was… But I really wanted to keep a record of how we made Project Paper Heist.…
One of the key things about learning a craft and getting better at it is practice. Practice is how you learn to use the tools you have and how you find your own voice with them. It’s why the Leica Year or one camera/one lens are interesting exercises for photographers. But what about writing? Most…
It’s a fallacy that I see played out over and over again. I’ve fallen for the seductive charms of “if you build it, they will come”1 more times than I care to admit. This is something that I should know intuitively by now. I’ve been that nerd saying that Apple is only popular because they…
I think that I want to talk about fear today. I’ve been trying to write more, and share photographs, and every time I do, I feel a twinge of terror that whatever I’m going to write1 is terrible. I think that what I’m writing right now is terrible. My heart rate is through the roof,…
It seems to be job hunting season for my friends and family. And I’ve been helping them write and polish their resumes and curriculum vitae (CV). I often find myself repeating the same information – how to approach a job search, how to write a cover letter and a resume so that it helps you…
"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet;" William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet I’m sure that Juliet’s rose didn’t have to deal with government documents and social media services. 1 I want to say that I’ve been thinking a lot about names lately, but the…
Ever since demonetisation and the introduction of new notes in India, I’ve been thinking about how that was a missed opportunity to celebrate the country. Sure, the new notes do hype our space programme, and different monuments, but it’s Mahatma Gandhi on every note. That’s to be expected – the notes are part of the…
As the pandemic stretches on, I’ve noticed friends and family seek out lighter fare on TV and streaming platforms. Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and the like.1 They’re bouncing off prestige2 shows faster than ever. No one wants to see hard narratives. Life is hard enough, and what people are looking for is escapism.…
I attended Marche du Film virtually for the second time. For all the discussion about how it would be so much nicer if the festival was 100% in person, I was struck by the thought that I wouldn’t have been able to attend the market if it was. It’s a very expensive conference in France…
For the most part, I’ve got by so far is having systems. Systems for everything. It can get annoying for the people around me – not everyone thinks in systems. I like systems – we had a lot of them in school and I’ve tried to keep them around as I’ve grown older. They really…
