I love how I can play with words

to form a new world

and wreck the same place

I created

Digital cameras are making a comeback, think early 2000s photo dumps you’d see on MySpace. But this time, it’s more self-aware. We actually care about the settings and how to tweak them to get that effortless, natural effect, like a photo pulled straight from 2001 that was never uploaded.

For this set, I used the vivid setting on my handycam, a look that came naturally with digital cameras back then.

Here’s how it turned out.

I used plushies and an arcade theme to match the saturated tones. The bold colors worked well, especially against the soft, grainy texture that’s typical of old cameras, like the one I’m using in the video.

For my next blog, I’m planning to play around with blurry effects instead.

By the way, is there an old camera you’ve always wanted to try?
