We went to Nantucket for Father’s Day weekend. The island isn’t terribly far from Boston but when you get off the ferry you feel like you are in another world.

A roll of Tri-X
I took these over the last few weeks. Another roll of Kodak Tri-X 400.
Any Old Miracle — Phosphorescent
Lovely version. Thanks Dave for discovering this gem.
You never had a Dough donut?
“You never had a Dough donut?”
That was the question Cubby asked me yesterday morning as we met up for coffee before our photowalk.
After watching him order one, I ordered the same one and oh, my, god, it was amazing. I’m not a donut person but it was so damn good.
After getting high as a kite from my coffee and Dough donut, we went for a walk through Dumbo, Vinegar Hill over to Park Slope to meet up with our friend Chris.
I shot mostly film but did take a couple of digital photographs so here they are.
People ask me what I’m proudest of and what are my biggest frustrations as President. My biggest frustration is that this society hasn’t been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do damage. We’re the only developed country where this happens. And it happens weekly. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts.

I hope film lasts forever
There are a variety of filters and presets on the market to help us get back that film look. Some of them are really quite amazing at turning our digital images into film like versions.
It’s particularly difficult to get a sense of digital vs film when squinting at images on our mobile devices. But on a big screen or better yet, on prints, film just feels alive.
These images won’t win any awards. They are just a bunch of photographs from a recent roll of film.
But getting back a roll and seeing them all brings back a bunch of memories from the past week — my son’s little league game when he pitched for the first time, a meal with the family, a walk by myself, a morning hike with our dog, and a cortado at the local cafe. Simple pleasures.
At the rate of digital improvement, I’m not sure how long we will have access to film and high quality photo labs.
But I do hope film lasts forever.
Todays show, @nabeel and I talk about our favorite new iOS apps (timeshel, swell, fobo), the Kinect for Windows announcement, the implications of the Uber round, & a quick recap on WWDC.
As always, please send us your feedback and suggestions for next week’s (ish) show :)
