To keep with my last post about still life photography, I thought that next I’d share my Macro photography of flowers taken with a special attachment, the Nikon PK3.

Still Life on Kodak T-Max
Still life photography may just be my favorite form of photography. I started practicing this form of art in 2019 when I was experiencing a severe flare-up from Crohn's disease and I couldn't get outdoors to take photos. During the proceeding years I lost several family members in succession and was experiencing a lot of… Continue reading Still Life on Kodak T-Max
First Thoughts: the Minolta XE-7
I am blessed enough to have a nice size collection of cameras, and even further blessed that most of my collection came from friends and family. One of those cameras is my Minolta XE-7 that was given to me by my friend Alex Luyckx. If you are an active member of the film community I’m… Continue reading First Thoughts: the Minolta XE-7
Fujifilm 400: Still Superia or Just Ultramax in Disguise?
I was sent a couple rolls of Fuji's newer 400 film from a friend in the community named Lance. He asked me if I could shoot the new Fujifilm 400 to see what I thought of the rumors of this film just being Ultramax in disguise. I agreed to do it because Fuji Superia Xtra 400 is one of my favorite films and I've been pretty devastated since it was discontinued.

This is mostly due to the pure exhaustion that comes with being a new mom. However, just as I was wanting to give up on all of this, I… Continue reading The Mamiya Six
The Original Rolleiflex
Rolleiflex is a well known name among photographers, and for good reason. I look at them as the Rolls Royce of cameras, not just because of the their build quality and reliability, but because its name alone gives it widespread recognition. So when I received the Original Rolleiflex, you could imagine I was excited. My… Continue reading The Original Rolleiflex
The Nikon F3 – Greatest Legendary Classic
As I researched the Nikon F3, right away titles with words like the greatest SLR ever made, Legendary, and Classic all jumped out at me. This was interesting to me because I'd come across similar titles when researching the F2. In my view these two cameras are very different. So I asked myself how could… Continue reading The Nikon F3 – Greatest Legendary Classic

The Nikon F2 – Best 35mm Ever?
In doing my research for this review, I ran across quite a few statements calling this the best 35mm camera ever made. I was surprised by that because I have heard the same for many other cameras I have reviewed, but never with as much gushing as I saw for this one. I'm not sure… Continue reading The Nikon F2 – Best 35mm Ever?
