Film in a Digital World

If you've read / checked out some of my previous posts you may have noticed a trend. Over the last couple of years I am shooting more film and less and less digital. It didn't really start out as a "plan", but more of an exercise to remember what it... Continue reading

Analog again: Rolleiflex 3.5e2

I love TLRs, have since I was a teenager with my 1st Yashica Mat. Rollei has always IMO made if not the best, one of the two best, TLRs. I'm a Mamiya fan for some of their medium format cameras, particularly the Mamiya 6 and 7, but I never really... Continue reading

Street Performers, again...

One of my favorite subjects is street performers and I guess the number of shots that revolve around them in my catalog would attest to that fact. I asked one of my daughters the other day what she thought I could do as an interesting series on the blog, and... Continue reading

Analog Again: Hasselblad 501CM V System Camera

Many years ago I owned and shot with a V System Hasselblad camera, and found that it was a very special and unique system. The lenses, Carl Zeiss C, CF and CFi are fantastic quality and have a very clear and unusual signature, much like the Leica lens family that... Continue reading

Black and White Landscapes and Cityscapes

If you follow what I shoot at all you know I'm really most inclined to shoot in or convert to black and white. For street I think it's really the most effective way to tell simple stories. For landscapes and cityscapes though, it's something else, and with the right subjects... Continue reading
