If you’re considering shooting film then I suggest you consider learning how to develop film as well. It can be frustrating at times but also liberating once you’re comfortable…

My EOS Film Camera Collection
Many film cameras in the EOS lineup are underrated today. Since they’re not Leicas, Nikon F3s or even a Canon F1 they don’t get as much buzz online anymore. I’ve spent the last few years trying as many film cameras from Nikon and Canon as I can get my hands on. That includes old school…

Why Do I Shoot On Film?
This is not just a rhetorical question for a blog post title. I still ask myself this question from time to time. My interest in the art of the still image was re-ignited a few years ago. Not long after, I was down a YouTube rabbit hole of videos about shooting 35mm film. Shooting on…

Why do I want to start a blog in 2018?
Why in the age of Instagram and Snapchat would I want to start another blog? The answer is multifaceted.
