Getting to review and shoot the LIGHTS show on Tuesday was a real break for me as a writer/photographer! Before that, I only wrote/photographed concerts for the awesome punk website BigWheelMagazine.com Thinking back on my work with BigWheel, I realized I wanted to post those reviews on TheWanderingHumorist.
As I continue to research 35mm photography cameras, I hit upon the subject of “Travel cameras”. They’re really small and light. So not only would they be fantastic for travel, but they’d make fantastic street photography cameras! Here’s my list of my current favorites. I don’t own any of them, but I looked them up for several hours. I was looking for small, light and really nice optical quality:
Now that I’m about to test my Nikon FE (I have 27 days left to return it), I’ve been digging around the internet and found some great sites detailing the different types of 35mm film.
Check them out!

I’m totally psyched to be gearing up to shoot 35mm film again! It seems like a lifetime ago when I was using real film to shoot photos. But, I’ve been thinking about shooting film for a long time now. Especially since the more technology is speeding up, the more it’s drawing on looks of the past (Instagram, Photoshop plugins, etc.).
