blog Why do we feel so nostalgic about Polaroids? The Polaroid Corporation's history gives some clues to why we feel so nostalgic about instant photography.
blog How I learn things (Learning Things: March 20, 2023) Some things I want to learn, including how to make DIY paranormal investigation gadgets.
blog Taking pictures of ghosts: Polaroids, instant photography, and paranormal investigation Instant photography has become increasingly popular when trying to photograph ghosts—but can we trust it?

blog Ghost hunting as nostalgia What could be more nostalgic than ghost hunting? You're going through old, ruined places and looking for either the shades of the past, nature spirits, or some other lost and ineffable thing.
