Slower Speed 35mm Film (Rollei RPX 25)
I don’t often work with slow speed film, though I probably should. Working with Rollei RPX 25 produces brilliant results on 35mm film. It can be tough to keep the contrast under control, but when well exposed I really just can’t fault the results.
Polaroid Type 59: Last Frame
People forget, but there was a time when Polaroid made a large variety of peel apart films in multiple formats. One of my favorites was Type 59, a 4×5 peel apart film I would often use with a Crown Graphic press camera. This was my last frame of Polaroid Type 59 before it was discontinued.
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.

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.

Working with instant film has always been a medium that brings me a lot of joy. Polaroid recently released the I-2 camera and I have to say I’m loving it so far. It will likely replace my trusty SX-70 as my instant camera of choice. Here are some of my early results.
Fujifilm Neopan Acros II: Two In The Studio
Two images in the studio made with Fuji Acros II medium format black and white film. I absolutely love Fuji Acros and don’t work with it often enough!
Final Images Of 2024
My last photo session of the year 2024 was a productive one. I rented a studio in downtown Portland and decided to keep things simple. A Hasselblad camera and natural light. What more does a photographer need?
