FILM PROJECT 2024 – January

Today I am kicking off my Film Project 2024. I can’t even tell you how excited I am to share the images & memories below. Before I do, I wanted to share just a little info and a few thoughts.

Taking My life back part 3 – Introducing Iceworm MFG. Iceworm MFG is my new business and venture focused on handmade carry solutions for adventurous photographers.

The film dumping grounds

Recently, my desk at work has become the dumping grounds for film, old cameras and misc old photo gear that no one wants to deal with anymore. Honestly, I don’t mind one bit. In recent months I have been on the receiving end of a really nice old filter set, 35mm film, 12omm film, an […]

Worth waiting for – The forgotten roll of film

Well…..After 4 months I finally developed a roll of film that I started back at the end of February of 2014. When I saw the prints I was once again blown away. Man do I love film. Yeah, these shots below are not 100% sharp, perfectly focused or developed/printed perfectly. Nope. I know folks can […]

Small Camera. Big Picture. Yashica T4 film camera.

It’s been quiet for a week over here at ImagineGnat. While it may appear I am not alive and kicking any longer, I am doing well. Springtime has sprung and both home and work are super busy. However, that isn’t the reason I have been absent. I’ve been shooting film and if you can remember […]

Getting back to my roots – Fargo, Friends, Coffee & Film

About a month ago, I wrote the following sentence in my Catching Up – Where Have I been post – “I just think it is time to start getting back to the things that are important to me”. The list of things that of what is important to me is fairly short in all honesty. […]

2012 Film Project – 2 months & 3 rides

It seams I have fizzled a bit on my film project. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about it nor is it because I no longer enjoy film. Nope. Not at all. I just was planning for my trip to California and knowing I was not going to shoot film on that trip, I […]

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 – 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 […]

2012 Film Project – July Sneak Peek

I scanned 2 rolls of film today. I’ve got a few more to go. Loving film so much I want to shoot more and more. This month I had 5 rolls! Also learned some things not to do in July. Big mistakes to share next week. So….Just a quick sneak peek today as I am […]

My 2012 Film Project – June

I am now 6 months into my 2012 film project. For first time readers, I set out this year to shoot at least one role of film per month for the entire year of 2012. You can read about my ongoing project here. I wanted to do this for several reasons. First and foremost, I […]

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 […]

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 […]
