5 Frames… With Kentmere 400 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon 7)
At the beginning of my experiments with black and white film, I tried almost all modern (and available) films from different manufacturers.

5 Frames… With ILFORD Delta 100 Professional (EI 100 / 35mm format / Canon A-1)
This young lady’s mother asked me several months back about shooting graduation photos. Despite not being a pro by any stretch of the word, I was confident that Olivia’s natural beauty would make up for some of my inexperience and that I already knew her well enough that we’d at least have fun shooting! We…

5 Frames… From 1977: Mario Andretti and ILFORD HP5 (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon F1)
Formula One racing had a profound effect on my life as a man and as a photographer. My superheroes weren’t Batman, Superman or Spiderman; they were Mario Andretti, Al Unser, Dan Gurney and Paul Newman. I grew up in the “Inland Empire” in Southern California. I was surrounded by race tracks: Ontario Motor Speedway, The…

5 Frames… With Fomapan 200 Creative (EI 200 / 35mm format / Canon A-1)
Such is the odd, pleasant surprise of the unexpected. Finding myself camera-less, purchasing a 10–pack of film days before making a visit to my homeland Costa Rica, all the way from Europe. I already had the spectacular news of my mother finding a film SLR in her house in near-perfect state. The finding was, as…

5 Frames… With Agfa Cinerex IC1N (35mm / EI 200 / Canon Prima Zoom 90u Date)
It has been a while since me and a friend started organizing these Sunday morning walks in downtown São Paulo. Sometimes we start at 6:30am, some people complain, then the next time we start at 8:30am and a lot of people show up. This was one of the latter and also a typical fall day…

Camera review: The Canon SURE SHOT Z135
It has come to the point in my life where I am the ‘camera guy’ to family and colleagues; I will not lie to you, I have brought this on myself, and knew it would happen. When Christmas or a birthday rolls around, I get camera-themed goods. At work I’d previously been given a camera…

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… Of mountain bikes with ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Canon EOS 650)

I first experimented with infrared film back in the late 1970’s, really enjoyed the color shifts using various filters, it gives you a sense of painting with film, having control over the exposure and light as all exposures are
