Egonyan's process feels like a breath of fresh air, a reminder that authenticity often lives in the unedited moment. It's a curated glimpse into a world where craft and chance dance together.

Rediscovering a Forgotten Lens: Revisiting the Sony Zeiss 50mm f/1.4
There's a raw honesty in revisiting a lens from a decade ago, especially when the images still pulse with a life today's glass often lacks. The Sony Zeiss 50mm f1.4 wasn't just a tool; it was a character. On that press trip, using flash while others didn't felt isolating, yet those frames now feel like artifacts. Brands have since polished the soul out of their optics, chasing a sterile perfection that leaves little room for surprise. This review digs into that lost charm.
