    Black and White Film Developing Essentials Kit

    I love everything about film photography. I love the cameras, I love the choices of film stock, I love developing it and seeing the final result. 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 First Bullet Journal

    My First Bullet Journal

    This will be a quick entry today. I am going to try Bullet Journaling. I have carried a Moleskine notebook (or notebooks like it) consistantly for about 8 years and off and on for longer than that. Most of the time I have never had any sort of specific system for organizing it. Usually would…

    I’M READY FOR MACRO

    A quick update about my latest vintage lens acquisition. I just got a Canon FD 100mm f4 Macro lens. Believe it or not this is my first dedicated macro lens. I will definitely use this on my Canon FD film cameras but I am most excited to use this on my Fujifilm X-T2 with my…

  • My EOS Film Camera Collection

    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…

  • Art Gallery Photo Contest

    Art Gallery Photo Contest

    A local art gallery, City Lights Art Gallery, held their first inaugural juried photo contest in June. One of the pieces I entered was recognized with an award. I’m super honored to have my work recognized among all of the other awesome work submitted. I am even more excited to continue to help and support…

    The Perfect Film Camera For Canon Shooters

    If you currently shoot with a Canon DSLR and want to try your hand at 35mm film photography then look no further than the Canon EOS-1n for your camera of choice. Preceded by the original EOS-1, the EOS-1n became the new professional SLR film camera from Canon. By the time the EOS-1n was released in…

  • A Sunday Swim

    A Sunday Swim

    A favorite summer activity for my son and I is swimming. Often times we take our GoPro with us to capture some cool video as well as use it for an object to hide and find in the water. Since I have been playing around with an editing app for the iPad Pro called LumaFusion…

  • Getting Back To It

    Getting Back To It

    In November I was writing every single day and blogging every day. December has been a different story. It is the 16th as I write this and I have not written a blog in a couple of weeks. I have worked on my script a little but I’ve mainly been busy with other things. Hopefully…

  • NaNoWrimo 2018 – Day 30

    NaNoWrimo 2018 – Day 30

    And just like that the last day of NaNoWriMo came and went. 30 days of writing and 30 days of writing blog updates. I’m happy I tried it. I wish I produced more words and pages but at least I gave it a shot. The writing adventures are far from over but my Nanowrimo specific…

  • NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 29

    NaNoWriMo 2018 – Day 29

    Where did the month go? It flew by fast, that’s for sure. Yesterday was a good writing day. I figured out a couple of things in the script that needed to be addressed. I’ve been using Scrivener on this script but I still use Final Draft as well. Would you guys want to see a…

Got any book recommendations?
