Getting Abstract With The Olympia SM3
I appreciate good solid machines. Which is part of the reason I love working with film cameras. I also have a great amount of affection for old typewriters too.
Downtown Los Angeles With A Holga Plastic Camera
Spending a little time walking around Los Angeles with my plastic Holga camera. I used to never leave the house without a Holga camera with me and somewhere over time that changed. It might be time to rethink that philosophy.
Morning Fog On Film
Photographing the morning fog with one of my favorite people to collaborate with. There is something magical in the fog. The way it absorbs the sound of the camera shutter and makes everything seem so peaceful and still. Truly one of my favorite environments to capture on film.
Causal Nudity With The Rolleiflex TLR
Sometimes you start the day not intending to make any photographs. It feels a little bit special when you end the day having made an image that you are quite fond of.
Star Trails With Black & White Film
I’ve done a few experiments with star trail photography on black and white film. I wouldn’t say any of my attempts have been one hundred percent successful, but I also plan on trying again in the near future.
The Oregon Garden
A visit to the Oregon Garden on a beautiful spring afternoon of course led to a very quick photo session while nobody was looking. It wasn’t a situation where the model and I could take our time, but we made a rather spectacular image anyway.
Shadow Detail With Film
I didn’t intend for this photograph to be so contrasty. However, sometimes fate has other plans when working with black and white film and that is perfectly ok with me.
Kodak Portra With Some Lens Flare
Working with Kodak Portra color film on a very warm summer day. I love working with color negative film. There is a nice blend of grain and grit to it while also showing off fantastic details, especially when working with medium format film.
When The Camera Becomes A Prop
It is a bit of a cliche for photographers to hand their camera to a model and photograph them making an image back at you. Pretty much every fashion photographer, portrait photographer, and figure study photographer has done it. I am by no means an exception here. I’ve done it plenty. In fact, I’ve done it a lot!!
First Shot With A Pentax 67
Taking a Pentax 67 out for a test drive. There is just no denying the big 6×7 negatives are breathtaking to look at and scan incredibly easily. I’m sure I’ll be using this camera a while lot more.
