Through the Green Fuse

E-6 — Energetic Photogrammetry With Fujichrome RTP 

Beyond Cameras, Lenses, and Computers

Through the Green Fuse is a portfolio of images that I created as an interpretation and celebration of the design of being, and through them, to enhance my understanding of its nature. Nineteen years ago I felt the need to explore photographic processes beyond both traditional and innovative uses as the means to advance my self-expression.

Expired Emulsion Review

E-6 — Provia 400F

Provia 400F is the second generation of the Provia 400 fast slide film series with a finer grain — an RMS granularity of 13, compared to 15 for the original. It is the second-to-last Fujifilm innovation in this line. The final iteration in the series is FujiChrome Provia 400X, which has been discontinued in 2013, along with dozens of other stocks the company axed semi-recently.

A Trip to California Desert With Polaroid 660

Instant — Polaroid

Instant Results in Palm Springs and at Joshua Tree With a Polaroid 600

The magic of instant film begins the moment you press the oversized shutter button on the Polaroid camera. The distinct noise is apparent immediately, and this is followed by the sound of a soon-to-be-seen picture making its way along rollers toward the front of the camera, where it will be removed.

7 Reasons to Love Instant Film

Instant — Instax

I love taking pictures. I believe that a photograph can preserve a single moment in ever-changing reality, forever. As we move forward in time, constantly altering our existence it’s nice to look back at old images and know that the memory we hold dear can be relieved again and again.

“Polaroid Originals” vs. “Polaroid” Film for SX-70

A Side-by-Side Comparison of Old vs New Polaroid Colour Film Packs

The brand, known today as Polaroid, used to be called Polaroid Originals. And before that, they were named The Impossible Project. Which was yet before they bought the original Polaroid business that invented and built the iconic SX-70 camera. As the factory changed hands and names, the chemistry in the little magic squares saw its own share of alterations.

How To Keep Your Film and Cameras Safe

Logistics – Travel With Film

Everyone — Travelling With Photographic Film

Packing, Airport Security Checkpoints, and Other Trip Considerations

Depending on your means of transportation and destination, travelling with analogue photography gear may pose some risks. Its weight may turn a fun adventure into a laborious affair; your film and camera may get damaged, stolen, or confiscated. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel extensively over the past decade, visiting close to twenty countries by land and by air.

Old Film and Life

Monochrome — Efke KB, ORWO, Svema, Tasma, and Atrivu

I started taking pictures with a film camera in 2018. I took some before, but there was no real connection. This year something clicked. And the trigger was Efke KB 100. Fotokemika’s Efke KB 100. Made in Croatia, the film was full of silver. This made it more forgiving to mistakes when exposing.

COndiVIDere, From the 2020 Lockdowns in Italy

Sharing Time, Spaces, Food, and Emotions During the 2020 Lockdowns in Italy

The Pandemic

Condividere, v. : to share/divide amongst others (Italian). When a word is repeated too often, it loses its meaning — as noted by the famous Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini. In the context of social networks, sharing takes on the meaning of an obsessive broadcasting of daily routines.

Monochrome — Ilford Pan 400

Classic Grainy Monochrome in China’s Greatest Metropolis

After testing out my charity shop film cameras with Kodak ColorPlus — because that was the only film they had in my local Tesco — I wanted to give monochrome a go. So I bought some Ilford Pan 400 — a film that seems common in Asia but unavailable in the US or the UK — and did exactly that. The main project for the rolls was shooting a trip to my better half’s home town, which I did. You can see how that went here. In the meantime, I’d returned to Shanghai with half an unshot roll still in the camera, which meant I could get some bonus photographs of what is really now my adopted home town.
