i can no longer gate keep this gem. next time you’re in toronto you have to check out banh mi vina - it’s a tiny shop on dundas and grove. it’s a literal hole in the wall so keep your eyes out for their sign or you might miss it. not only is it delicious but it’s cheap. ideal for hungover sundays and a midweek pick me up.

for an entire year I was too lazy/poor to buy a fancy zoom lens so I just used my camera and cheap binoculars carefully aligned to my camera lens to take photos of birds in my local park.
it’s called digiscoping and it’s actually kinda fun once you get the hang of it. not pro-level, but def better than just zooming in on your phone like a maniac.
💡 how to do it:
get steady
your hands will shake. rest your binoculars on something solid (or better yet, a tripod). no tripod? lean on a tree or something.
line it up
open your camera, then gently press your phone’s lens against the binocular eyepiece. it might take a sec to find the sweet spot — you’ll know when you get that nice circle shot.
zoom a lil
use just a bit of your phone’s zoom if needed, but too much = grainy mess. tap to focus if your bird is looking blurry.
spam that shutter
birds don’t pose. just take like 10 pics and pick the best one later. trust.
📸 what to expect:
magnified birdies 🐦✨
kinda artsy circle frame (crop if u want)
not DSLR level but solid for ig or your birding finsta
🔧 pro tips (but like, amateur-friendly):
bigger eyepiece bins = easier to align
adapter mounts exist if ur serious — they’re like $20 on amazon
shoot in good light (early morning is chef’s kiss 🌅)
burst mode = your new bestie
🧠 bonus bird nerd tip:
if you ever upgrade to a spotting scope, your bird pics will pop off. like, frame-on-the-wall level.

a playlist for sipping ouzo in a linen shirt you “borrowed” from your dad, dramatically looking out at the sea like you’re in a film. expect greek indie, old-school rebetiko, dreamy retro pop, and a little beachside melancholy. curated for main character moments on balconies, ferries, or when you’re just feeling ✨ culturally seasoned ✨.
