Surfing Monk

Fashion and hype around certain film cameras and stocks make it seem like you must have Photoshop, Lightroom, latest Mac, high-tech scanners, fancy printers and a whole darkroom. When you only really need a camera body, a lens you like and film stock you're comfortable using. It's supposed to be fun not stressful.

I'll show you how you can be creative without paying subscription fees with open source software. I scan, edit and make these videos from a cheap Chinese knock-off laptop running Ubuntu OS. I'm not a photographer nor do I know Linux inside-out, but I want to share that there are affordable ways to create lovely photos and save that money for the bits that matter.

So if you want crappy coffee shop music, my irritating voice and to the point videos (no longer than 10 min) hit subscribe.
