An initial look at the Digital Bolex D-16 | Philip Bloom
First impressions, some sample footage, and a short video shot on the new Digital Bolex:
Absolutely no moire or aliasing that I have seen. Zero, zlich.

GOODBYE, CAMERAS | The New Yorker
As I’ve become a more network-focussed photographer, I’ve come to love using the smartphone as an editing surface; touch is perfect for photo manipulation. There’s a tactility that is lost when you edit with a mouse on a desktop computer. Perhaps touch feels natural because it’s a return to the chemical-filled days of manually poking and massaging liquid and paper to form an image I had seen in my head.
