For those of you not familiar with him, I’d like to take a moment and introduce you all to Brian Dubois, better known as Twitter’s Film Dad. 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… At an abandoned asylum on Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS (EI 100 / 120 Format / Yashica D + Yashinon 80mm f/3.5)
About a year into my film photography journey, I decided that I wanted to look into medium format cameras. Being on a bit of a budget I found myself gravitating towards the cheaper TLRs, and basically due to nothing but synchronicity the camera I ended up buying was a later-model Yashica D (with the Yashinon […]

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 […]

EMULSIVE Interview #224: I am David Imel and this is why I shoot film
Welcome to another fresh EMULSIVE interview, this week with New York based tech journalist David Imel. Regular readers might remember David’s flagrant disregard for the sanctity of 5 Frames… with his 9 Frames / 3 Triptychs from last November and I’m glad to say he’s back with more — frames, not triptychs that is. To […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film shooting Street (2012, Leica M3 and Fuji Superia 200)

5 Frames… On original Fujifilm ACROS with a century-old Kodak Hawkeye No2 Model B (120 Format / EI 100)
Last year’s lockdown left me simultaneously busy with work and also with lots of time stuck at home I would not have normally had. The up and downsides of the new lockdown lifestyle. One of the advantages of this was it gave me a bit of time to sort through some old cameras I’d been […]

5 Frames… Testing a Yashica MG-1 with Fujicolor C200 and new light seals (35mm Format / EI 200 / Yashinon 45mm f/2.8)
The story began around 5 years ago. In March 2016, my friend sent a message telling me she had discovered a film camera while spring cleaning her office. I went down to see her and have a look at the camera, a fixed lens range finder, the Yashica MG-1 with Yashinon 45mm f/2.8 lens. Upon […]

5 Frames… Of Icelandic industrial edge on Fuji Pro 400H and a Mamiya 645 Pro (120 Format / EI 400 / Mamiya Sekor-C 80 mm f/2.8)
In between covid lockdowns, my girlfriend and I had the chance to visit Iceland. We went lightweight and camped everywhere. Lightweight except that I had brought my digital Pentax SLR in conjunction with two film bodies: the Mamiya C220 6×6 format TLR and my Mamiya 645 Pro 6×4.5 format SLR. Although I regretted the extra […]

16-minute snapshots of life: Making Huge Full-roll darkroom proof sheets for my friends
I started taking pictures in Berkeley, CA. during the summer of 1980, with a Nikomat FT2 and a 55/3.5 Micro-Nikkor given by my father (I still have both). He had the habit of systematically buying a few fresh rolls for every shoot (mostly birds and reptiles) so, when I stayed with him, there was a […]
