This year at comic Con, I chose to shoot the #cosplayer portraits with the hasselblad, instead of street approach 35 mm, and what a hassle! Boy did I miss that thing called autofocus. I used a new film for me, Rollei Digibase CN200, available through Freestyle photo.

Been watching the Rockford Files lately, and Love the opening credits, gritty film stills. This inspired me to shoot Adox Film Implosion, With the off color tones and large grain, prints from this film have a vintage 70’s look and feel. “Did your parents drop off a roll of film in the 70ies in a one dollar shop for cheap development and you just found it on your attic? In this case your images might look like if they were […]

The Neon Museum aka Boneyard, in Las Vegas was the perfect time to experiment with Washi Film. I first learned of the “Film Washi, world’s smallest film company” located in France, from my fellow darkroom photog Michael Weitzman. After drooling over the 4×5 negative he had shot, and had to get my hands on this exciting new alternative process. The film comes in 4×5 and 120. The film has an exciting iso, 12 for shade and 25 for bright sunlight! Quite the […]

I shot this series on film at sunrise in Frenso on the Blossom Trail Route. The scent from the almond blooms was worth the trip alone, and also waking up before the sun at 2:00 a.m. The petals look like snow on the trees and ground, and quite beautiful when they fall to the ground. Also stumbled upon the twig house belonging to one of the three pigs, no sighting of the wolf.The spots and imperfections you see are the […]

Recently experimented with Rockland Halochrome toner on Ilford Multigrade ART 300 paper. Inspired by my recent tintype experiments, I was excited about the brushed metal look. According to the description: Halo-Chrome is Rockland’s unique toner that transforms black and white prints into pure metallic silver by fusing together the colloidal silver grains that make a black and white print into gleaming solid silver. Halo-Chrome toner can be used with all RC and fiber-base papers. On glossy papers, it gives a mirror-finish, and on matte […]
