The article that documents the first part of this project, One Camera One Month, can be found here. There I talked about the first six months of 2025 and why I started this project. Basically, considering all the stress and chaos I have been going through since last year, my goal for this year was… Continue reading One Camera One Month – Last 6 Months

The Rolleicord III
In October of 2023 I went on a trip with my family to New York to see my grandmothe. While I was there my Uncle took me around to a couple of his favorite second hand shops. I saw the usual Land Cameras and older Kodaks that tend to pop up in those places, but… Continue reading The Rolleicord III
One Camera One Month: 6 Months In
2025 started out rough for me. I have been in the middle of a full blown flare-up with my Crohn's disease, so everything in my life has been turned upside down. One thing I didn't want to have to worry about was losing my love for taking photos in the midst of all the craziness.… Continue reading One Camera One Month: 6 Months In
The Leica IIIF – Worth the Frustration?
Now I hate to start a review off with negativity about a camera, but the Leica IIIF is probably one of the most frustrating cameras I have ever used! With its tiny viewfinder, delicate shutter, and absolutely frustrating way of loading film among the list of cons, it can be hard to say if the… Continue reading The Leica IIIF – Worth the Frustration?
The Voigtländer Bessa R2C and 2 Lenses
What do you get when you take a reasonably well made camera body (some variants are better than others) and slap some really nice lenses on it? A great idea and way to sell a camera. The Voigtländer Bessa R2C and its siblings set out to revitalize the Voigtländer name, but not through the original… Continue reading The Voigtländer Bessa R2C and 2 Lenses
A Day on Color Film: Part 2
Earlier last year I shot a whole day on film. If you've been following along, you know I already shared the black and white film I shot that day, which was Street Candy's ATM400 and MTN100. Then Part 1 of the color film from that day was a couple Lomography films that I had quite… Continue reading A Day on Color Film: Part 2
The Night Our Baby Came – On Film
I wrote this article in real time in 2022 to document my experience of becoming a first time mom through film and writing, but so many things happened that I never ended up actually sharing them. Now that I have time, I am able to finally share my experience from the night our baby came.… Continue reading The Night Our Baby Came – On Film
The Imperial Satellite II
You may remember from a previous article where I received an Imperial Satellite II from my uncle along with the Satellite I27. With that first review, I said using it was a labor of love, and this experience has been no different. Let me explain. The Improved Satellite 127 While the II was marketed as… Continue reading The Imperial Satellite II
Silberra Color 100 – My 1st Thoughts
Originally I had decided not to post this article when the war against Ukraine first started out. It just didn’t feel right to me to promote a Russian film at the time. Years later, however, I doubt my thoughts on this film will have any effect on the turmoil going on. So here is my… Continue reading Silberra Color 100 – My 1st Thoughts
Family Fun with the Olympus Pen FT
I’ve owned the Olympus Pen FT for years now but have only ran a few rolls through it. I just haven’t found the patience for double the amount of frames at half the resolution. However, on a family outing earlier this year, I decided to bring it along for snaps because I figured with the… Continue reading Family Fun with the Olympus Pen FT
