Target’s now-pulled children’s Halloween costume is so unbelievably racist that it had to, on some level, be purposely done by someone in the decision chain and everyone else was like, “seems ok to me”.

Should You Use a GameBoy Camera in 2026?

10 years ago, I reviewed something called the Bit Boy. It allowed a photographer to shoot images and store them to an SD card instead of printing them immediately. Though I think it would be fun to print immediately to Instax instead, I understand how hard and niche this would b…

Why the Fujifilm X-T2 Still Holds Up 10 Years Later

In 2016, the Fujifilm XT2 turns 10 years old. We reviewed it just over a decade ago, and one of our former writers talked in length about why he still loved it back in 2022. As the person who handled the Fujifilm XT2 review for the Phoblographer, I truly do have to say: this was…

Tips on Using an 85mm Lens That Humans Will Enjoy Reading

While I much prefer the 35mm and 55mm lens focal lengths, I admit that every time I pick up and 85mm lens these days to do candid images, I fall back in love with it. Most photographers think of the 85mm lens as something specifically for portraits. But the truth is that sports…

We Should Be Able to Calibrate a Camera’s Screen

In 2026, something has occurred to me. Lots of my friends don't rate images in-camera partially because they don't trust their screens -- not to mention sometimes just being lazy. But I've thought about this at times, why can't I give an ICC profile to my camera's screen? Why ca…

The Hasselblad 501C is Possibly the King of DSLRs

In 2023, I reviewed the Hasselblad 501C. And in 2024, I combined it with the CFV 100C to call it the best DSLR of the year. In 2026, I still admit that I think about it fairly often. Just earlier today, Reviews Editor Alberto Lima and I were discussing how I want the Leica M11-D…

Moneyday

And loved them all Among Money Inc.'s wealthiest college towns, I've lived in numbers 2, 3, 4, 10, 13*, and 20. I've also had good hang times in 5, 9, and 15. Oddly, I've never been to #1, and I grew up in both North and South Jersey. *Same as 2, really.
