Lytro.

Just picked up my first camera of 2012 and it’s the new Lytro light field camera. I haven’t had much time to play around with it but it probably is going to become my favorite point and shoot next to my iPhone cam. It’s kind of crazy but you basically don’t have to be concerned with focus, aperture, shutter speed or anything at all. It captures the entire light field and allows me to refocus the image after it’s been shot. Sounds and looks like the future of photography.

Uniqlo. | New York, NY

No joke, Warren and I have been planing to take a drive to NYC just to go shopping at Uniqlo. It’s a small obsession of ours and now that we have actually done it and the trip was so successful I can’t see us not doing it every few months. Here’s a few shots from the short trip. The 5th Ave store is crazy big and hard not to get overwhelmed when you walk in. Definitely a sick store and I can’t wait to hit it up again.

US Virgin Islands.

Weddings have played such an amazing part of our lives the last 2 years. It has now opened us to the absolute beauty of the Virgin Islands. I don’t think that we would have ever discovered this place had it not been for Suzanne + Andy which brought us there. I mean I sort of always knew that it was a beautiful place but not like this. The beaches at St. John are just amazing! The sand is so soft it feels like you are walking on pillows. The waters are warm and changing shades of blue and green. I couldn’t dream up a more beautiful place to visit and it was definitely hard for us to leave.

My vacation camera is now my FujiFilm Instax wide format camera since Polaroid film is just too expensive now. I totally fell in love with it though! It’s not only easy shooting but so fun to do. The colors are much more crisp and the image more sharp compared to the old school Polaroid but still something about it gives it that vintage tone that I enjoy so much. I guess until I get my light field camera sometime next year this will be officially my fun camera.

We just had an amazing time and we really do hope to go back and visit again if we are so lucky in the near future.
