Gaia Passarelli is a producer with MTV Brasil. She flew all the way up from Sao Paulo (Isa’s hometown!) for Pitchfork. This photo was taken with my new Canon EOS, but I’m not sure if I like it yet. It’s a bit grainy for my tastes even when properly focused. I prefer the clarity of the Olympus PEN. Although after shooting with the cement block that is the 1-D, the PEN felt like holding a feather!

I was assigned to cover Pitchfork street-style by my lovely editor at Refinery29. Naturally, she gets her pick of the crop. Once I have a chance to sit down and go through my photos I can post the ones she didn’t.
But for now, click here to see the best and most fashionable Pitchfork photos over at Refinery29.
The more I find myself being absorbed into photography, the more I find myself lusting after weird cameras. Take this Yashica D camera I spotted at Pitchfork. This model was released in 1966 and uses 120 film. Note the “spaghetti western” style font between the two lenses that was popular during the 1960s. The viewfinder is located inside the camera so you have to peer down into the body. I would love to have one of these to just play around with.
The girl who was carrying it told me she bought it on KEH.com, which just so happens to be the place where I purchased my new Canon EOS 1-D camera body.
