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

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.
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
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
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'm not sure… Continue reading The Nikon F2 – Best 35mm Ever?
A Deconstructed Bouquet on Portra 800
Kelsey and I were married at the courthouse in August of 2022. We hadn't really planned anything, just that we would get dressed up. Kelsey decided to pick up a bouquet from the flower shop to carry, and of course I had to take many photos of the beautiful pink flowers. After our wedding ceremony,… Continue reading A Deconstructed Bouquet on Portra 800
Downtown on Kodak Portra 800
I've been loving Kodak Portra 800 for my specific needs, but it has become so expensive and hard to find recently. I wanted to share some photos I took downtown on Kodak Portra 800 and share my thoughts. Leica M6 Kodak Porta 800 Last spring/summer, I used a ton of Lomography CN 800 because it… Continue reading Downtown on Kodak Portra 800
Catching the Light – Still Life with my Hasselblad
I haven't done a review of my Hasselblad 500 C/M yet, but I want to use it and get to know it well before I do. The main thing I have done with it is still life. I just got the negatives back from the lab of a roll of Kodak Portra 800 I shot… Continue reading Catching the Light – Still Life with my Hasselblad
