Recently I acquired for myself a half frame 35mm camera. I picked it up at a thrift store for 99 cents no less… go me!!

Nude In Snow

Revisiting The Old

November 05, 2015 in Black and White Film, Nudes, Photo Sessions

I photographed this image at least four years ago. Maybe even longer. It’s hard to tell but there was snow everywhere which is why the background has such a haze about it.

Some Stuff Isn't Fun

October 13, 2015 in Black and White Film, Nudes

I am about to take on a project I've been putting off for years. I desperately need to re-organize my negatives.

Shapes And Sizes

I was really on the fence about this image when I first scanned it and I had to stare at it for a while before ultimately deciding to publish it.

Rainy Days Are Here Again!

September 07, 2015 in Black and White Film, Nature, Photo Sessions

FINALLY!!! Rain is falling from the sky here in the Pacific Northwest after what seems like an eternity of dry heat and blazingly sunny days.

A really rare case where I got the artificial lighting just about as perfect as one could ask for.

Photographing in thick forests can be a challenge at times. Lots of patches of bright light and deep shadows. Find the right spot though and things can work to your advantage real quick.

Just a chair sitting at the top of the world, and a frame that is totally messed up because I put the wrong lens shade on my camera. This image was actually made just days before the wildfires came a few years ago that blanketed the west coast with s

Last post of the year! It doesn't quite feel real yet, but I suppose it doesn't need to. Life will move forward whether I want it to or not, and the best thing I can do is spend my time out in the world. So, really, this post is just a reminder to my

Overcoming the challenges of backlighting. I've come to appreciate really soft and even lighting in my old age, as opposed to the high contrast I would blast every scene with in my youth. I had to set the camera on a tri-pod for this one and went all

There is a book I've been working on in fits and spurts for a while now. It's honestly nothing particularly special, but I'd like to finish it all the same. Thinking about my "to-do" lists for 2025 and I'd like finishing my little book proj

I'm a little proud of myself for this image. Macro photograph made entirely hand held in very iffy light. I had to compose the image, hold incredibly still, lock up the mirror, and trip the shutter hoping I didn't budge during the entire process. I g

One of those really nice summer days when it wasn't too hot or too cold. Just a good breeze and easy to work with light.

Working with the 4x5 view camera for portraits is challenging to say the least. But when the focus is achieved exactly where you want it I really like the results. The amount of depth of tone and bokeh just blows me away.

Really random picture I know. I had to calibrate the focus on my Hasselblad so I set up a little still life scene with some of my favorite posessions. Most people know in real life I'm a huge nerd for Horology and for Bauhaus design. As such, these t
