Roll 52: The Frosty Fog

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…

Roll 51: Neighborhood Pond

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,…

Roll 50: Rural Nevada

  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.  …

Roll 48: Nevada Sky

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.…

Roll 47: Winter Skies

      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…

Roll 46: Light Games

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…

Roll 45: Bolsey Visits Its Owner

    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…

Roll 42: Back at the Park

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…

Roll 39: Crystal Peak Park, Verdi, NV

I’m a sucker for a good neighborhood park.   And, it makes for an easy way to explore with my family, check out some fun little, hidden spots and, of course, burn through a good roll of film.  I headed out with the Bolsey Model C and a roll of Fuji 400 35mm to revisit…

Roll 38: Bolsey Model C

  A new camera for the project:   The Bolsey Model C.   This is a nice little TLR that runs 35mm and is from the 1950s.   The camera is a little special because an extended family member gave to me because he knows of my love for all things film.   The camera…

Roll 36: Drive-In Movies

There has been a song playing on the radio lately called “Drive-In Movies” by Ray Lamontange that is continually stuck in my head.   And, it is making me want to visit the drive-in here in town.   I haven’t been there in decades but I would like to go again.   My husband differs…

Roll 35: Hike Above the Other Side

The EXA went hiking with me again.   I bought a new strap for it and, now, it is so much more comfortable to tote around all day.   Watch out, folks, I armed and dangerous now!   Again, I shot on Kodak Ektar 100.    And, if you saw my last hiking post, you’ll…
