My Love for Film
October 2, 2018
Family photo albums. I’m pretty certain this is where my love of film began. As I take notes for this article I leaf through albums and old family photographs. My parents were constantly taking pictures and making books out of them. I love this tangible aspect of photography.

Through the Green Fuse
Beyond Cameras, Lenses, and Computers
April 24, 2018
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.

This mini-guide explains how redscale film works and how to make your own redscale film. All you need is scissors, tape, and a dark room (most bathrooms will do). My wife introduced me to practical film photography through Lomography six years ago when we were just starting to date.

My Fondness for Film
January 23, 2018
I’m holding a roll of film in my hand that just got ejected from my camera. There are three more at the lab. Another two canisters with monochrome emulsion waiting to be exposed through the new yellow filter. I can’t remember most of the shots that I’ve captured, except for some that I keep on thinking about, picturing how they may turn out.

Why Shoot Film
October 23, 2017
I bought my first film camera five years ago as a 17th birthday present to myself. I saved up my money and walked to a little old and dusty Kodak shop and bought myself a Nikkormat FT2 with a 50mm lens. A tall, skinny, old man owned the store and kept me there for a few hours to show me how it worked. He compared the sound of the shutter with some of the less well-kept cameras so I could identify if it started to wear in the future. He also showed me how to use the light meter, and changed the battery for me.
