My first roll really was a first roll. I’m an amateur photographer now but at the time I had no previous experience with photography in either digital OR film. It all started from a Reddit Christmas gift exchange I signed up for in 2014. It entailed pairing random strangers from across the globe with each […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film: Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 in a Pentax K1000
I shot my first roll of35mm film using a Pentax K1000 I bought on the same day I returned a faulty Yashica Mat 124-G — my first camera ever — but that’s a story for another article about my first 120 film roll. I’m glad I made that decision! The Pentax K1000 taught me a […]

5 Frames… Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS on a Voigtländer Bessa III 667 (120 Format / EI 64 / Heliar 80mm f/3.5)
It has always been my dream to take photos, develop and print them myself. When I started photography during school, I had the opportunity to do it in the school lab, but never at home. Later, at university, I lost interest, and over twenty years later an unfortunate coincidence brought me back: a broken leg […]

5 Frames… Of Yosemite on Fuji Pro 400H on a Yashica Mat-124 G (120 Format / EI 400 / Yashinon 80mm f/3.5)
I had a conversation with my housemate about the five places every Californian needs to visit: Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Central Coast, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite. All are very beautiful and unique, and if you’re able, I’d highly recommend making the pilgrimage to each. I’ve been lucky enough to hit every place on the […]

Taking Stock: A shootout with 3 very different color films highlights creative possibilities – Kodak Portra, Fuji C200 and Fuji Velvia 100
I recently acquired a Rollei 35 after dreaming about shooting with this ultra-compact camera and its legendarily sharp Carl Zeiss lens for many years. I was able to score a great deal on a lightly used “Made in Germany” variant at my local camera shop by trading in an old Canon A1 and 50mm lens […]

That’s film photography, not film movies, although thinking about it, the latter might be a nice niche to slide into, Brian. Over to you! Hi Brian, what’s this […]

5 Frames… With a Nikon S2 and original Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS in Downtown Calgary
I think the main thing I need to state before anything else is I’m not a rangefinder man. I’ve shot them and had, for the most part, mixed feelings about them. Examples of rangefinders I’ve liked include the Argus C3, and the Kiev 4. So when I say I liked the Nikon S2, despite what […]
