This involved multiple alarms like 5 or 6 that I would have to dismiss every morning. So I thought wouldn’t it be great to have a button on my nightstand to turn… Continue reading Bluetooth Snooze Button for iPhone
I have always been impressed by the art of street photography. Where the photographer is right in the action of others' daily lives, strangers in passing and capturing that decisive moment.

And in so many situations I consistently fail to achieve the look I was going for in my head. Inspired by Willem Verbeeck’s idea of a… Continue reading Open Sauce Maker Portraits: A Photography Self Project

I was quite surprised that my idea of using a 3D film camera with infrared film and a custom filter worked so well in creating an Aerochrome-like image. The basis of the idea can be found in my previous post below. https://teaandtechtime.com/an-analog-aerochrome-film-replacement/ But there were still problems I wanted to solve, the first being the… Continue reading Improving the optics of the Tri-Aerochrome Film Filter
