11.7.08 - Little Big Screen
My marvelous girlfriend Katie Sidoot gave me a wonderful early birthday present: a Sony 8GB MP3/media player! But alas, that screen, while very pretty, is too darned tiny for sock puppets. Thankfully, excessive garbage means I can work out a means to making that baby shine brighter than designed. Check out the link to see how I made this fellow hit the big time!

10.28.08 - Canon FD60
When I bought my first modern Canon DSLR, I foolishly expected I would mount those nice old fuzzy Canon FD lenses to it with a breeze. I am so naive. Never one to leave well enough alone, I invested in a donor camera and just completed the first conversion of a DSLR to the older style lens mount. If there's another out there, it sure isn't online... Click here to learn more about the process, and what happens next.

10.22.08 - Kodak Instamatic
This camera was purchased by a friend who was betrayed by the promise of a better tomorrow via a Diana and Urban Outfitters. Alas, she will never know that world, and so I took it upon myself to improve her life with a modded 126 camera. Click here for the scoop on adapting this little rascal to 35mm film.
