Northern Michigan, a $25 Camera, and New Music

Hi friends,

Recently got back from two weeks in northern Michigan. We spent our days dipping in lakes, eating way too much ice cream, and pretending we could keep the sand out of the cabin (we could not).

Somewhere in the middle of it, I fell into a new hobby, shooting film on a $25 point-and-shoot camera from the 1980s I found on eBay. The photos are grainy, imperfect, and full of little surprises... plus I will say getting your images back from the film shop feels a bit like christmas every time. (Shout out Denver Digital Imaging Center)

So what about the music... back home, I’m diving back into the final stretch of my upcoming EP. Four of the five songs are basically ready to be mixed, with the fifth needing some real drums and bass recorded. The songs wrestle with anti-capitalist undercurrents, fleeting moments of connection, and trying to stay human in the middle of all the noise. Can’t wait to share them with you.

Thanks for sticking around, it means more than I can put in an email.

Talk soon, Dave

P.S. If you shoot on film, hit reply and tell me your tips. I’m learning as I go.
