5 Frames… At the local supermarket on my rut-busting Olympus XA2 + ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm Format / EI 400)
About a year ago I was feeling a bit in a rut creatively, and I always feel exercises help get my creative juices flowing. I needed to be more serendipitous with the camera, rather than photography being something I set out to do with a clear goal and then ultimately being let down if I…

On the set of Netflix’s Bridgerton with Barnaby Boulton and Kodak film
Netflix’s Bridgerton needs no introduction. 82 million households have already seen it, and as I write this, it’s back to being #1 in the United States. It’s been an entertaining, refreshing, and raunchy hug for many souls since Christmas 2020, and I have not encountered such passionate exaltation of a love story since my high…

5 Frames… Of Rollei Infrared 400 film somewhere in Northern Michigan (35mm Format / EI 25 / Nikon F3HP + Nikkor 24mm f 2.8 AI-S)
I have been hooked on photography ever since my father showed me how to use his basement darkroom when I was in my teens. I took my first ‘real’ camera — a Pentax Spotmatic — to Europe with me as a college student in the late 1960s. I used Kodachrome 25 and 64, bought and…

New M-mount lens from Lomography: The Atoll Ultra-Wide 17mm f/2.8 Art Lens
Just arrived on Kickstarter: Lomography’s first crowdfunding campaign of the year: the Ultra-Wide 17mm f/2.8 Atoll lens for Leica M-mount (as well as a few current digital mounts, too). It’s not a fisheye lens. Think more of the Voigtlander ultra-wides for Leica M-mount cameras instead. Further details follow, but first, some gear shots: I won’t…

5 Frames… Of lightning on Fuji Provia 100F (120 Format / EI 100 / Hasselblad 500CM + Carl Zeiss Distagon CF 50mm f/4
It was around 9 o’clock in the evening when I was walking the coast of Thessaloniki in order to capture some long exposures of the ships with one of my friends. I was had my Hasselblad 500CM loaded with a Fuji Provia 100F and was searching for the ideal place to set our tripods. My…
