Roll 52. Take a moment and soak it in, this one is special. I finish this 52 Roll Project with my trusty Nikon FM2 and a roll of Ilford HP5 Plus 400. The FM2 is the whole reason that I started the project in the first place. I thought I would use most…
The Nikon FM2 and I went exploring to a neighborhood park by my office with another roll of Kodak Elite Chrome 35mm slide film. I don’t know why I have never been by this hidden little spot but it is a very nice lunch time getaway with a trail and little bridges. And,…
This photo adventure has been brought to you by the Nikon FM2 with a roll of Kodak Elite Chrome 100 slide film. When the scans came back from the developer, I thought they were off and then I remembered the colors are different on slide film. Enjoy. Welcome to Fallon, Nevada. …
I’m a sucker for the holidays and even though they are long gone now that this is being posted, I thought you might like a peek into how my family celebrates. It was one of those days where the natural light coming in the house seemed just right for film. I think it…
As I get closer to that #52 goal, I’m getting more anxious about completing the project. The delay between shooting, processing and blogging has been a little bit of a drag for me so I feel like I’m constantly running behind schedule. No worries, I’m almost there — roll 48! Woo hoo.…
I hit the road the other day with the Yashica Mat EM and a roll of Kodak Portra 120. Nothing in particular struck me to photograph so I made a pitstop at a small park that has a even smaller but well-stocked trout pond. I thought I might get a few…
I always have to remind myself that failure is part of growing … and with film comes a lot of failure. Here’s a full roll of growth and learning for ya from some experiments with the Bolsey Model C. First up, it appears like I was taking a selfie. But, no, that’s me…
The Bolsey Model C and went on a special trek back in November with a roll of Fujifilm 400, 35mm. This particular camera belonged to an extended family member’s father who was a Korean War Veteran. Mr. Simms is buried at the Nevada Veteran’s Cemetery in Fernley, NV. At the time, Veteran’s…
The Yashica Mat EM and I went through two rolls of Kodak Portra 100, 120 film, when we visited Sacramento, CA, so hang in there while I add a little more fall color to the end of the year. Capital Park in Sacramento is full of all kinds of monuments and very special groves of…
For Thanksgiving, my family went to visit some friends in Sacramento, CA, and our hotel was near the capitol park which was booming with fall color. It hadn’t occurred to me that the warmer climate would still be so full of leaves and color so I was happily surprised. And, I forced my…
A while back, I visited Idlewild Park here in Reno and didn’t have very good luck with the camera that I chose. This time, I used the EXA with some Fuji 100. If you wanna catch up, here’s the old post. If not, you can enjoy the trees changing colors and notice how low…
Today’s film adventure takes the EXA and roll of Fuji 100 down I-395 south of Reno to Tioga Pass in California at the eastern gate to Yosemite. I was in search of fall color and met big grey clouds for a dusting of snow. I didn’t really get all of the leaves and…
