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.
