A Review Of The Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers
The Puma Speedcat OG is not the type of shoe that you thoughtlessly pair with skinny jeans and be done with it; as my middle-aged millennial self is so often inclined to do these days. Rather, it’s a bold statement piece that requires a certain degree of confidence to pull off.

A Review Of Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Film
Though some users may prefer a film with more built-in contrast such as Tri-X 400, or less grain like T-Max 400, Ilford HP5 Plus 400 remains one of the greatest film stocks ever made; in part due to its incredibly flexible exposure latitude.

A Review Of Kodak Portra 400 Film
You can easily overexpose by two to three stops and not have to worry at all about the film losing highlight detail or experiencing a dramatic color shift. It's really quite remarkable once you realize that it's actually relatively hard to mess up the exposure with this film stock.

A Review Of The Canon EOS-1N Film Camera
With a production life that spanned from 1994-2000, this camera was the ultimate image making tool that Canon offered at the time and this is still evident in every aspect of the body, features, and design.

A Review of Kodak Gold 200 Film
It offers something special that makes images appear tangible, organic, and honest. In an AI saturated age, this film is a counterpoint with an authentically imperfect human touch and I believe we need to be reminded of this more in our lives.

A Review Of The Seiko SARV001 Mechanical Watch
As any chronometer aficionado will tell you, mechanical watches tend to get expensive very quickly so it's something of a rarity to see a quality dress watch for under $500 USD, or even $1,000 USD for that matter.
