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

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

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
Kiev 4A – A Contax Clone
The Kiev 4A is the third Soviet camera that I have gotten to try. It is another camera from the extensive collection of Mike Eckman, who was nice enough to lend me this one along with the FED-2 that I previously reviewed. I don't call this camera the Contax copy. I like to call it… Continue reading Kiev 4A – A Contax Clone
Alstroemeria’s on Portra – A Still Life
As mentioned in previous articles, Kelsey often buys me a bouquet of flowers with our groceries that I use in still life shoots. In particular, she likes to buy Alstroemerias because they last a really long time and come in different colors. This particular bouquet was red and white, so I thought Alstroemeria's on Portra… Continue reading Alstroemeria’s on Portra – A Still Life
Creativity and Managing Mental Health
Lately I have been fighting a bout of depression, self doubt, and just an all around lack of motivation to create. The other day Kelsey pushed me to go out and take pictures because she knew it was what I really needed to do. I took my Hasselblad to Tradition, FL and it really did… Continue reading Creativity and Managing Mental Health
The Rolleiflex Automat and a Roll of Portra 400
I am continuously amazed by my Rolleiflex Automat. Not just because it is more than 70 years old, but also because it is an under appreciated model that, despite not having the coveted f/2.8 lens, still produces consistently sharp images. Rolleiflex Automat with Kodak Portra 400 My Automat was the first film camera I purchased… Continue reading The Rolleiflex Automat and a Roll of Portra 400
The Pentax 67 – My First Thoughts
I've chosen the Pentax 67 camera for a photo book I'm currently working on. I hope to document what is left of my hometown that existed from my childhood. This project will include mostly buildings and landscapes. This fact quickly made me realize that the 35mm format wasn't going to cut it for what I'm… Continue reading The Pentax 67 – My First Thoughts
