2012 Film Project – My Photography Tool Chest

August marked a change in my film shooting. It seems that rather than forcing myself to shoot or forcing myself to finish a roll of film, I used it when appropriate. When I wanted for what I wanted. I think for me, I am starting to understand just exactly how I want to use film […]

Friday Ride Stoke

That is all. Have a great weekend!

July Film – Two Rides with Ilford HP5

Getting back to my film series today. Excited to share some pics from a new film, at least new to me. In July I shot two rolls of Ilford HP5. I think I am sort of stuck on Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to 800 so it’s good to try something new. I really liked the […]

2012 Film Project – Ektar 100 in Utah

I am settling back in from my trip up north. As I mentioned yesterday, I have a hard drive issue (It is full!) so I can’t upload my images from up north. I hope to solve that in the next day or so. Thankfully, I had scanned all my July film images prior to this. […]

2012 Film Project – Lessons Learned

I shot more film in July than I have in any other month of 2012. I shot 5 rolls and finished off one that sat in the camera from an earlier month. Why did I shoot more? Well…I am just enjoying it so much. In fact, right now it is pretty much all I want […]

Film in motion

Today I bring to you a few images that are symbolic of what I had in mind when I started planning my film project back in December 2011. I not only wanted to learn from shooting film, I had a specific vision for shooting film. Today, I will share with you several images of shooting […]

Big, Big Country on Film

I shared a few weeks ago this post on riding in the Big, Big country of North Dakota. It was an amazing ride that day in a beautiful landscape. All those shots I shared were taken with a digital camera. But, my digital camera wasn’t the only camera I carried on that ride. Nope. I […]

Daily Inspiration #360 @ SteveHuffPhoto.com

Kind of a crazy afternoon yesterday. I submitted 3 photos to http://www.stevehuffphoto.com as part of his daily inspiration series. Since I have never really shared my photos other than here, I was a bit nervous. Within minutes of submitting, I got this note back from Steve Huff himself. These are great! I will post them […]

My 2012 Film Project – May – Japan

I’m excited to share my May installment of my 2012 film project. I went into May with a great plan. I would bring my film camera to Japan and use it shoot some non work, street and portraits. I rented a 50mm Zeiss 2.0 lens to shoot available light only and loaded 5 rolls of […]

Things that matter

OK…I took an unexpected break from writing and sharing pics. My schedule, once again, got to me and I just had no words that were worth writing. We also had some friends in town. But, I did manage to spend quite a bit of time thinking. It was good and it was needed. One of […]

My 2012 Film Project – April

Since I have been out of the country for much of May, I have not been able to scan my April film photos. I shot two rolls of film in two different cameras. OK, 2 and half but the half roll of Kodak Ectar 100 is still in my Olympus 35RC. But, the news for […]
