5 Frames… With Kodak Portra 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Minolta XG-M)
After shooting strictly with a point and shoot camera, I was gifted a Minolta XG-M and Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm f/1.7 kit by a friend. I found myself reaching for film instead of digital for my personal work more and more after that. Digital was beginning to bore me, editing had began to feel cumbersome,…

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon FM2)
In March of 2018, I was heading to Oakland and San Francisco for a photo work assignment and decided to do some street photography on my time off while I was up there.

5 Frames… With Street Candy ATM 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Lomography Diana Mini)
I love the Lomography Diana Mini and I’ll stand by this little plastic gal with all my heart, even when nobody else wants to.

5 Frames… With CineStill 50D (EI 50 / 35mm format / Nikon F2)
Whenever I go out shooting with film, which seems to be a lot these days, I take my trusty Nikon F2 and the 50mm F/1.4 AI-S. Can I just say that this camera is a bit of a beast?

5 Frames… Of Kodak Portra 400 double exposures (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon FM)
For this roll of Kodak Portra, I set out to shoot a series of self-portraits featuring flowers and foliage with my new (to me) Nikon FM and a Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens.

5 Frames… At night with Kodak VISION3 500T 5219 (EI 800 / 35mm format / Leica M6 TTL)
A couple of weeks ago, stuck with no gigs for the week and suffering through the anxiety-filled boredom that freelancing can suddenly bring, I decided to fly to New York (only an hour from Toronto) to shoot some street shots.

5 Frames… With Kodak Plus-X 125 (EI 125 / 120 format / Yashica-Mat)
Combining two recent trends, namely de-cluttering and a revival of mid-century technology, I rediscovered a beloved family camera, the Yashica Mat and some expired and now discontinued Kodak Plus X 120 film.

5 Frames… With Kodak EASTMAN Double-X 5222 (EI 200 / 35mm format / Nikon FE2)
After all the roads and film stocks I’ve shot with over the last couple of months, all have lead to Eastman Kodak Double-X 5222. I’ve been searching for that go-to film by trying pretty much everything out there.

5 Frames… With ILFORD SFX 200 (EI 200 / 120 format / Agfa Record III)
In April, I wrote a comparison of three bellows cameras from the 1950s I had bought on eBay: Agfa Record III, Voigtländer Perkeo, and…

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 1600 / 35mm format / FM2n)
The second day of sunshine… What bliss… It has been dark and grey for a couple of weeks. A huge contrast to the nice and warm temperatures of southern Vietnam where I had been.
-
5 Frames… With Ultrafine eXtreme 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Nikon F4)
First, let me say that the Nikon F4 gets no respect. I am just going to lay that out there. Okay, so now on to the film. All of my film problems can be traced back to The FPP…

5 Frames… With Kodak ULTRAMAX 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Minolta X-700)
All these frames were shot at the white sands national monument while on a road trip in the States (my family are all American – this road trip happens bi-annually). We were driving the length of Route 66…

5 Frames… Of black and white Kodak Ektar 100 (EI 100 / 120 format / Hasselblad 500CM)
Some time ago I combined two new-for-me techniques in one batch of the film developing process – semi-stand and processing C-41 film in B&W chemistry.
-
5 Frames… With New Oriental Seagull 100 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Canon AV-1)
In Japan, Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS was the least expensive black and white film. However, with the film no longer being made, I needed to find a replacement. This is where New Oriental Seagull 100 comes in. This film is nearly the same price as ACROS at about $6.50 US dollars (650 JP yen). I…

5 Frames… With Cinestill 800T at night (EI 1600 / 120 format / Rolleiflex K4B)
I bought my Rolleiflex K4B off eBay about a year ago and got a pretty sweet deal for it. Since then, it has become pretty much my favorite camera to shoot personal work with. Mine came with the Carl Zeiss Tessar 75mm f/3.5 lens, and the images it produces are just stunning. Lately, I’ve been…
-
5 Frames… With Fujifilm Natura 1600 at night (EI 1600 / 35mm format / Nikon EM)
I’ve always wanted to try out Fujifilm Natura 1600 film since over ten years ago when I first saw a photographer using it on their Flickr page.

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Minolta SRT 201)
I just recently got this Minolta SRT201 from an old friend who didn’t have the time nor the space to make a home for her.

5 Frames… In Cuba on Kodak Portra 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Rollei 35S)
I had been to Cuba about five times since 2014 before my most recent trip last year to Viñales, in the far western province of Pinar del Río.
-
5 Frames… With Kodak EKTACHROME E100 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Olympus OM-4T)
The OM-4 represented the pinnacle of Olympus film camera development. The multi-spot metering function, unique to the OM-3 and OM-4 bodies, afforded photographers the greatest manual exposure control in any film camera produced.

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Bronica GS-1)
I was born in Charleroi, Belgium. This city had a long and successful past of coal mining and is therefore scattered with coal heaps.
