Well, as promised, Weekly Reader is back with 2 weeks worth of links to share. Twice the fun? You betcha!
Analog is Better:
Has anyone else noticed a resurgence in non-digital-based technology? Personally, I’ve always worried that I was born in the wrong decade: I love antique things, and especially film, too much to totally get along with the digital age. I should be posting more about my foray’s into using my antique camera once the film gets developed. Here are some great finds (all courtesy of Coudal)…
- Pin-Hole Camera that you assemble yourself
- 8mm Films make a come-back in Japan
- Cute TRL Cameras that use 35mm (again in Japan…must be a trend…)
- And for a non-film-just-for-fun-link, Letterpress Chocolates for the type-nerd in your life. (via AisleOne)
A Couple How-To’s of Interest:
- Etsy shares how to dry flowers
- Swissmiss posted a link to 400+ Photoshop Actions for download
- Get perfect handwriting by learning how to Write Like an Architect (also via Coudal)
And, of course, the German Connection:
- Steven Heller blogged this past week about Weimar-era Germany and Austria’s Notgeld, and has some beautiful examples like the one I pulled from his page below:
Here’s hoping he puts out a book about these next…(or maybe he already has? who can keep up with them all?)

Great roundup. Love those TLRs; and, yes, cameras are pretty big in Japan—from Holga to Hassleblad.

Thanks for the PS Actions link! This will come in handy while I’m in DE. I’ll send some pictures of Nürnberg over. Cheers. -MP

@johno: Is the film readily available? Here’s hoping that FujiFilm, etc. don’t decide to go the way of Polaroid!
@MP: Have a fun and safe trip: I can’t wait to see all of the photos! (wish I had more vacation time myself *sigh*)
