Several months ago, before the crushing heat started back up here in Florida, Kelsey and I regularly went into town to walk around by the water. These photos were taken on a walk in Tradition on Lomography CN 800 right as the lingering cool air was on its way out. Leica M6 Lomography CN 800… Continue reading A Walk in Tradition on Lomo CN 800

Still Life and Expelling Grief
Many times over the years I've shared my need to express myself through photography. I often do this to alleviate anxiety, but also to deal with feelings of grief.

Still Life and Motivation
I've hit a little dip in my creativity lately, not for a lack of desire, but just simply having too much going on that's affecting me. When I have a lot of of health issues happening at once I tend to get depressed, which understandably affects my motivation to do anything else. It's strange because… Continue reading Still Life and Motivation

My First Roll of Ektachrome and E6 Developing
In this Developing Adventure, I wanted to share my first experience shooting and developing a roll of Kodak Ektachrome.

The Film Kodak… Continue reading My First Roll of Ektachrome and E6 Developing
