Lo-Fi Camera Love
Browsing through the Winter 2011 issue of Anthology Magazine I came across a wonderful photo essay on Palm Springs by MAKE’s very own Jen Siska (Makeshift). Jen’s “visual travelogue” takes you through the sun-soaked San Jacinto Mountains and cacti-laced Mid-Century Modern dessert abodes, all captured with her Canon 5D Mark II (which retails for $2,500) … Save the last dreamy image of palms, shot by a $70 Holga CFN 120 (bottom left). It’s then that Anthology gives us a great little roundup of cheap cameras, ranging in price from $25 to $325, available from the cult favorite “analog photography” site, Lomography.

Circuit Skills: Circuit Board Etching, sponsored by Jameco
I very much enjoy making my own circuit boards. It’s a satisfying process that ties together my love of electronics with materials I used back in my art school days. It’s also the most accurate way to build a circuit short of sending away to a PCB manufacturer, and it’s much more fun. Subscribe to […]
