I want to give this camera the Editor’s Choice for best point and shoot ever, and to be honest there is very little holding me back. (via Review: Fujifilm X10)
When you pick up the Fuji X100, it feels like you’re picking up a piece of history. The camera is styled very much like an old-time rangefinder. In the hand, it feels solid and not like a cheap toy. (via The Complete Fujifilm X100 Review)
With DSLRs, I’d set the camera to aperture, choose the focusing point, compose and then shoot. With the Fuji X100, I felt more care went into my images. (via How the Fuji X100 Retaught Me Street Photography)

Pakayla Biehn takes photorealistic painting to a whole new level in her series Double Exposure.
About the project:
Building upon the double exposure theme of her previous works, Pakayla uses oil paint on canvas to present dream-like transfiguration of the natural world. The skill and refined beauty of her paintings enlists a realist style that recalls the delicacy, formality, and craftsmanship of old master techniques. She combines the cultivation of the portrait with a very intimate and vibrant observation of nature.
