Full Circle: MingThein.com is Going Into Retirement

Almost 20 years ago to the day, a teenager made an unwise camera choice1 to record what he was experiencing in case he might later forget.

How to Do Water Ripple Tank Shadow Photography

A simple ripple tank is the mainstay of every physics teacher's demo collection.

The State of Nikon’s Z Mount, One Year Later

For Canon, Nikon and Panasonic, 2018-2019 was the first year where they all truly "went for it" when it comes to mirrorless.

Why I Share My Contact Sheets

Why Photographers Don’t Get Modern Art

Review: The Fujifilm X-Pro2 is One Solid and Sexy Camera

Take a moment, rewind back to March of 2012 and remember the buzz that surrounded the release of the Fujifilm X-Pro1. Many of my close photography friends — professionals, casuals, Sony fanboys, and even film shooters — were talking Fuji and discussing how they must have the X-Pro1.

I Bought a Holga Digital. Here’s a Hands-On Review.

I bought a Holga Digital through the Kickstarter fundraising campaign in August 2015. It is a fairly early model, so by the time you read this there might have been some tweaks or firmware updates.
