Ryan captures the the raw and beautiful essence of modern-day-vintage surf culture with nearly every click of the shutter. The colors, textures, light leaks and other happy accidents he gets with instant film and his Lomographic experimentation are so refreshing. His images look as though they were taken decades ago thanks in part to the nearly endless supply of vintage cars, hand-crafted boards and waves along the California coast he calls home. When you see Ryan’s work it makes you want to do two things: go surfing and shoot film.

The team at the Barcelona-based design studio Woouf! have come up with a pretty cool bean bag chair shaped like a vintage camera. At around $250 it’s a little pricey, but would be a cool addition to any photographers studio.

Here’s a short film by Maurits Reijnoudt that gives us a look behind the scenes at The Impossible Project. You know, the ones who took over where Polaroid left off and saved instant film from extinction. Enjoy!

In a time when everything is shot digitally and immediately uploaded to plethora of photo sharing sites, Lisa Elmalah takes it slow, utilizing an old 8″x10″ camera (she’s named Fitzgerald Fitzwilliam Fitzgeorge) and a nineteenth century process called wet collodion. By converting the truck of her 1996 Toyota Tercel, she was able to make a mobile darkroom capable of developing her large glass negatives on site. Her work simultaneously freezes and blurs time whilst allowing for beautiful unplanned and unpredicaable imperfections that no digital method can match.

Lisa was Miami-born-and-raised which inspired one of her biggest projects, documenting The Everglades. With the inspiration of early photographers of the American West and using similar equipment some 150-years later, she’s been able to capture and preserve the essence of a one-of-a-kind ecosystem that is rapidly losing ground to urban and agricultural use. When she’s not traveling all over the country losing herself on empty roads in search of interesting environments or musicians to shoot, she calls Brooklyn, NY home.
