Whether it is reliability in skin tones for portraits, popping color in landscapes, or true to life and speed for low light real life experiences, Kodak Ultramax just delivers. It is not common to be able to get a reliable look even when a film is expired.

A Beautiful Evening on Film
I often share here photos I have taken on a day that a cold front is passing through. Cold weather just puts me in a good mood and in turn helps me to create. Every year I look forward to the last days and first days of the year when we will get a break… Continue reading A Beautiful Evening on Film
One Camera One Month – Last 6 Months
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
Kodak Portra 800 VS Lomography CN 800
I’ve shot both Kodak Portra 800 and Lomography CN 800 extensively over the past few years, so I thought I’d share some things I’ve found in case you’re trying to decide if you want to try one of these films.
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.

The Voigtländer Bessa R2C and 2 Lenses

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

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
Macro Flowers with the Nikon PK3
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. I tend to always have a bouquet of flowers or two around the house so that when the mood or lighting hits me I can shoot… Continue reading Macro Flowers with 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
