Charles Baudelaire in 1859 on photography (or perhaps a 2024 critic of #AI promptography?): "If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally.”

While doing some archival work, I came across an ad for the 1936 Kodak Bantam Special camera. I've been obsessed with it ever since. I wrote an article about why I think this camera is important in the history of design, technology, and consumerism. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/jasonfar...

My first Amazon purchase was in March 2001 for a GRE study book. Since then, me & my family have made 3,616 more purchases! I wonder how much of that has ended up in a landfill?
