A year in review 2018

What a crazy year! Just crazy. So much happened. So many relations coming and going, so many roads coming and going, so many books…

A man of value

A successful man is a different beast than a man of value. A man of value will always be a successful man, but not so much the other way around, not all the time anyway. What is a man of value? It is someone that’s been winnowed-out by his attitude towards the storms of life. It’s the height of his mettle. It is the stentorian voice in the storm that calls out the vehemence for life.

Two first rolls - Kodak ultra-max 400 ISO + Canon QL19 and Kodak Gold 400 ISO

Shot my first roll of film since 2016! The result is great. The QL19 takes some time to adapt but when you nail the shot, it delivers.

**Why** to travel the world

It’s easy to focus on How-to-travel-the-world-with-x-amount-of-money. Few blog posts were written about WHY-you-should-travel-the-world. This blog post is about the why, and I give you some how too.

If Plato was a camera, he would be a Nikon Df.

Few cameras gave me the satisfaction of the Df. This is the pro’s pro camera. It is also the most underrated camera on the market.

X-Pro1: Better than X-Pro2?

The old xtrans sensor on the XE1, X-Pro1 and X100 was the best sensor ever made to render JPG. The Xpro2 beats the X-Pro1 at every single thing but one: skin tone.
