GO E-Z. Chicago (I think), Illinois. November (I think), 2022. © Clayton Hauck

When I first got my Ricoh GRiiix back in 2022, this here blog did not exist. Also, the camera date was wrong for a few years, so I have no accurate information about when the images were made beyond my naming conventions, which are fortunately a close approximation.

Lately, I’ve been going back through these old images in an effort to turn them into something a bit more tangible. A printed zine is the current working plan, which will feature both images and writing. This image likely won’t make the cut, but I like the message it sent to me: Go easy (on myself).

One quick takeaway was how frantic I was shooting when I first got the camera. It’s no wonder the thing is so coated in dust that it’s almost unusable now.

More on this another day soon.
