I’ve never been enough of a photography purist to bemoan the switch to digital, but if you’ve really missed shooting film on a fully manual machine, the folks at Lomography have released an upgrade to the classic 1970s camera, the Lubitel. Called the Lubitel +166, it keeps its old-fashioned looks but adds a couple of (non-digital) upgrades. Even if you’re not a film fanatic, it’s a really pretty camera to ogle over.
You probably assume that most major magazine covers are designed on top-of-the-line systems with the most advanced software available. Most of the time, you’d be right. But this week’s New Yorker cover was created by Bob Staake on some pretty ancient technology: Mac OS 7 and Photoshop 3.0. Mac OS 7 was released in 1991 and Photoshop 3.0 was released in 1994. Good lord.
