Released in 2010, the Fujifilm FinePix Z70 is a stylish, ultra-compact 12MP digital camera featuring a 5x optical zoom.

An old camera doesn’t just capture light—it exhales the ghosts of moments past, each click a heartbeat echoing through time.

Lifetime Flight Map (twitter.com/sricola) Be kind to your cabin crew. They literally have your lives in their control. Service is their secondary job — getting you safely from A to B is their primary. And they do their jobs 100% of the time. On the topic of cabin crew, they only get paid on block time — door close to door open. Pre boarding help / stowing your luggage etc is literally volunteer time. Again, be nice. I take them a box of chocolates on occasion to show appreciation. Stay hydrated. Skip the coffee and alcohol. Drink water. Plenty of it. Try not to recline when possible. Space is limited and if we are all kind to one another — it makes it better. Especially don’t recline during meal service. Don’t walk around barefoot. An airplane is the most disgusting space (filled with germs and bacteria) we all spend hours in. The floor is probably the worst. Keep the shoes on. Try to board as late as possible. Get to your gate early but don’t board in a hurry. You’re going to be in that metal tube for hours. If switching time zones, set your watch to the destination’s time and do what you’d be doing at that time. Fall asleep or stay awake — train your body and use the time on the plane to combat the challenges of that shift. Airplane food (even in first class) is gnarly. Eat before you board and skip meals onboard (if possible). Instead drink tons of water. Listen to the safety briefing. Or at the least locate the life vest and exits. It’s not just for you, your fumbling around in an emergency is going to cost everyone else precious seconds. Be a team player, listen to that briefing. Airplanes are designed to stay in the air. Don’t sweat the turbulence. It’s normal. Although uncomfortable, remember that we all pay for Disney land rides that give us the same feeling. The aircraft itself is designed to handle these. Lastly, air travel is one of the safest ways to travel. Your chances of being in a car accident is significantly higher. So sit back and enjoy being in a metal tube for hours — our ancestors could only dream of doing it. Besides, its the closest we have ever come to time travel. ...

Anything that goes into my backpack has to earn its place there. This past year, I have lived in 6 continents, 17 countries, 7 time zones and 21 cities. All this while working a full time job, remotely. Work is my primary goal. Work is what enables me to live this life. So obviously, being connected is the center of my focus. Additionally, I am part of the Infrastructure team at BuzzFeed, which means, I have to be oncall for a week every month and be generally available 24/7, at other times. ...

With a combined population of less than 8000 - Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau are off the beaten tourist path. I will admit that not many people would crave to go there. Between getting high in Amsterdam and the beers of Belgium - it is not very uncommon for tourists to completely skip this little gem of International Co-operation. It is a situation that arose out of a land swap deal during the monarch days of Belgium and the Netherlands. Today, it is one of only few places in the world that has a complicated border. We aren’t talking about town lines or city lines or state lines - this is an international boundary. A mutually respected and internationally enforced border. And it looks something like this. ...
