Five years ago Ben and I started dating. After a few weeks, he took me to meet his aunt and uncle and cousins. (We were in college in Utah; Ben’s family lived in Virginia so we couldn’t just go to his parents’ for dinner.) That was the first time I met Jeni. She was a […]

It’s no secret that I love shooting film on my little Canon A-1. I love my digital camera and even my iPhone, but sometimes I feel like film captures the emotion of what’s happening a little bit more (im)perfectly. And it’s the best. A few mornings ago, Ben, Jack, Max and I woke up early […]

After a few rolls of muddy successes…I moved on to different stocks. After shooting my first roll, my next assignment was to try out different brands and speeds of film. There are so many brands – Kodak, Fuji, Ilford, etc – and each speed corresponds to the ISO they should be shot at. The first […]

I have been a long-time admirer of film photography. The look is remarkable. I love how soft and dreamy the images can be. The color. The grain. The bokeh (blur in the background). It’s all just so good. I had just purchased my Canon A-1 on eBay at a really great price and was waiting […]
