I’m finally getting back to shooting a bit more and had an afternoon scheduled with an art model yesterday. I wanted desperately to give my stock of New 55 Film another chance after I’d disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my film holder. The results I got were much better and far more promising than my earlier experiments,Continue reading “New 55 Film – Round 2”

New 55 Film
A few months ago (well, ok now that I look at it, it was last summer) – August 2015 to be more precise, I purchased some New 55 film. This was a Kickstarter project to create a modern version of Polaroid’s Type 55 film which was an incredible product that in just a few minutesContinue reading “New 55 Film”

Everglades
Katlyn, Peter, and I headed out to the Everglades when I went to visit her in Florida last month. I found an interesting spot where I could contrast some of the endless overhead power lines with Florida’s attempt to preserve the natural ecosystem. In the end we didn’t get eaten by a crocodile, which isContinue reading “Everglades”
Direct to Positive

This is photo paper that you can load into a large format camera and shoot just like film, however when you process it, you do so in traditional black and white paper chemistry and the result is a positive image instead of aContinue reading “Direct to Positive”

Beau Soleil
