I've been trying to find a medium format camera that suits my needs and style of shooting for a while now. I have a Pentax 67 that I'm using mainly for a project that I am working on, but I wanted something a little smaller and compact. That was when I saw the Fujifilm GF670… Continue reading First Thoughts – Fujifilm GF670
Author: Aly's Vintage Camera Alley
I love vintage cameras and photography. It started out as a way to feel closer to my father after he passed away when I was 11 years old. I bought my first 35mm Canon Rebel. Then it became my own passion. Now as an adult I love the mechanics, aesthetics and look given by a vintage camera.
When I was 21 I was diagnosed with a severe case of Fistulized Crohn’s Disease and my life was changed forever. It has severely limited what I can do in my day to day life, especially with my photography.
My hope is that through this blog and through my YouTube channel I can not only share ideas and knowledge with others, but also encourage others with disabilities and limitations to keep going with their hobby with vintage cameras.
Shooting Outside My Comfort Zone
There is a Youtube channel I have been enjoying lately by Bryan Birks, and in his videos he talks a lot about a project he is working on of classic cars and their owners. I always find the videos very inspiring because one thing I have mostly shied away from is taking portraits or any… Continue reading Shooting Outside My Comfort Zone
My Interview on Gen-X Photography Podcast
I had the honor recently of being interviewed by Mario Piper and Suzanne Pederson on the Gen-X Photography Podcast, so I thought I would share it with you all.

5 Shots – Hasselblad 500 CM and 150mm lens
In this Shots article I wanted to share 5 frames from a roll of Lomography CN 400 shot with my Hasselblad 500 CM and 150mm f/4 lens. I haven't yet done a review for my Hasselblad or the 150mm lens because I'd like to use it more before I do that. So far though, this… Continue reading 5 Shots – Hasselblad 500 CM and 150mm lens
Developing Adventures – Kodak Tri-X with Kodak HC-110 and Ilford DD-X
I purchased Ilford's Ilfotec DD-X on a recommendation to use when I was pushing film, such as the time I pushed Fomapan 400 to 800. I've also purchased Kodak's HC-110 to develop Kodak films such as Kodak Tri-x and TMax. I just like the look these pairings give me. However, I wanted to see if… Continue reading Developing Adventures – Kodak Tri-X with Kodak HC-110 and Ilford DD-X
4 Shots – Ilford HP5 400 in Medium Format
Lately I've been shooting a lot more medium format than I usually do. I'm still basically shooting with my 35mm cameras everyday, but sometimes I just crave the beauty and clarity of a medium format photo. So I shot a couple rolls with my Pentax 67 and Mamiya RB67. Here are 4 shots of Ilford… Continue reading 4 Shots – Ilford HP5 400 in Medium Format

Lomography CN 800 – My Review
I have written several articles about my experiences with Lomography CN 800 film, which you can read here, but I have not yet done a proper review.
