Using The Hasselblad SWC In Small Spaces
The Hasselblad SWC can be the perfect camera when working in tight spaces. In this case it was a tiny balcony overlooking the Chinatown district in Portland.
Color Film With Morning Light
Early morning light is often the best light. Especially when working with the human figure and color film. There is a warm glow that is impossible to capture in any other way.
A Sliver Of Forest Light
Working with black and white film can be incredibly challenging on bright sunny days in thick forest settings. Light values get quite extreme, from very bright highlights to deep shadows. It takes some very careful metering to get. good negative.
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.
