Portraits – Push Processing Film

I've been interested in trying to push process my film for quite a while but never got around to it. I felt like I was waiting for the right kind of low-expectations photo opportunity to come along, and of course, these kinds of opportunities don't just show up for you. You need to take steps … Continue reading Portraits – Push Processing Film →

Vivitar PS45P Panorama

Camera: Vivitar PS45P PanoramaFilm: Ilford HP5 400 I really like cheap consumer cameras. Whenever I go thrifting I keep an eye out for 35mm point-and-shoot cameras or any other basic plastic camera that might be in good enough condition to use. I especially like when they have some little gimmicky feature or design or attempt … Continue reading Vivitar PS45P Panorama →

Film Soup 1

Self-isolation and quarantine have led me down the path of experimenting chemically with my film supplies as something to reinvigorate my love for the analog medium. One of my big to-dos that I've been super excited about was creating a 'film soup', or 'souping my film'. The basic premise is you drop a roll of … Continue reading Film Soup 1 →

Lumen Printing

It's been a while since I posted anything at all on this page. I took a break, unintentionally, for no reason other than I forgot about it. I swear I'm coming back to it now, and I've done some work unrelated to photography in the meantime so I think the scope of this page may … Continue reading Lumen Printing →

35mm Film in a Brownie Junior Six-20

I get these creative impulses sometimes where the thought of trying one specific thing becomes a bit of an obsession. I had this feeling a few weeks ago - I wanted to load 35mm film in to an old Brownie I had around the house, which usually loads 620 film - a format that isn't … Continue reading 35mm Film in a Brownie Junior Six-20 →

Portrait Session – Maggie

Maggie and I have been friends and occasional roommates since college. We got together on a November Sunday afternoon to shoot a casual portrait set. I wanted to work on my composition and lighting, and also wanted more practice working with a person. I'm continuing to experiment to try to figure out exactly what it … Continue reading Portrait Session – Maggie →

Portrait Session – Alex, pt. 1

I met Alex through work on a long road trip to northern Minnesota and back. Though the course of our trip, besides discussing pedestrian infrastructure and the minutia of our individual engineering day jobs, we also discussed our outside-of-work selves. Alex is an occasional burlesque performer, who advocates for non-binary and disability visibility through their … Continue reading Portrait Session – Alex, pt. 1 →

Epson Perfection V600

I used to be a musician and always resisted the temptation to fall in to the mentality of 'gear head' - someone who over-collects gear and tech to enhance their art just by means of having compared to those who do not have. In my photography, I try very hard to fall in to this … Continue reading Epson Perfection V600 →

Photo Set: Plant Life

Many of my images in the middle of my film rolls consist of flora and fauna. I walk to work almost every day and always try to photograph things that are interesting to me, and in most cases it's the plants I pass. Plant images show up between 'events' in my life - when I … Continue reading Photo Set: Plant Life →
