For this shoot, I chose to use the Nikon F2AS mated with my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and a roll of Kentmere Pan 100 black and white film. My location was the town of Ampang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia which is adjacent to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. All five frames were shot on the same […]

5 Frames… Of portraits on ILFORD HP5 PLUS and a Zenzanon 105mm F/3.5 (120 Format / EI 400 / Bronica ETRS)
I have been using ILFORD HP5 PLUS in ILFOSOL 3 since forever. In fact, my first camera was my father’s Nikon F2 Photomic, which I still own and use. I started taking pictures under his guidance in 1976, when I was still in

Camera review: The Pentacon Six TL and the Curate’s Egg
The Pentacon looks just like a standard 35mm SLR, although it is a little taller, a little wider and a little deeper. It is also heavier although does not feel particularly unwieldy in use.

My first roll… Of film: ILFORD HP5 PLUS (Nikon FM10 + Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8)
When I set out to explore the world of film photography I was immediately infatuated with the process. The mechanical clicks as the film advanced in the camera.

Rolling car photography: Japanese muscle cars on 8×10 Kodak film
When you think about rolling car photography — the art of taking photos of moving vehicles, not just moving cars — while moving, using large format film probably won’t spring to mind as your first choice. Hell, 35mm film probably won’t either, let alone a ponderous format, exposed one sheet at a time into a box weighing 10lbs/4.5kg (without lens).

5 Frames… Around West Palm Beach’s downtown on ILFORD DELTA 100 Professional (120 Format / EI 100 / Yashica Mat-124G)
I love my Yashica Mat-124G not only because it was my first medium format camera but because there is something special in the photos that it produces. Despite the square format and the short learning curve the TLR requires, it is my favorite medium format camera. Paired with ILFORD DELTA 100 Professional, one of my […]

5 Frames… At Pennsylvania’s Trolley Graveyard on ILFORD Delta 400 Professional (35mm Format / El 400 / Canon Elan IIe + Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II)
I had the opportunity to participate in an organized trip to a place called the Trolley Graveyard in Windber, Pennsylvania in December of 2020. As this was almost a year into the pandemic, I jumped at the idea of going anywhere at all. It was outside and everyone would be masked and distanced and so […]

My First Roll… Of ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional, 35mm, EI 3200 with a Canon Elan II + Canon 50mm f/1.8
My first roll of film was an exciting one. I had an old 1990s Canon film camera, the Elan II, for years and I had done absolutely nothing with it. I found myself bored with digital photography. It had become uninspiring to me, however, I still wanted to practice my photography. So I had to […]

In October 2019, I traveled to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, which is the southernmost city of Argentina. These pictures were made on the last day of my trip, during a boat tour through the Beagle channel and a walk on the Bridges Island. It was cloudy that morning and the sky didn`t seem to open […]

When you rummage inside your old camera bag and find an unexposed roll of ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional, the urge to try to expose and develop it despite the fact that the expiration date says something like ’12 years before today’, well it comes to you, and how. …and if in the cellar you also […]

5 Frames… At Bull Island on Kodak T-MAX 100 and my Mamiya 6 (120 Format / EI 100 / Mamiya 75mm / f3.5)
The lockdown has been a big lesson for me, in that I have come to appreciate the little things in life. Photography is my hobby (some would say obsession) and it takes me to another world, away from the normal every day. I enjoy the gear, the chemicals, and more recently, darkroom printing. I am […]

The best of #FP4Party April 2021
When the #FP4Party team assembled in Feb 2021, it was the first time we’d spoken as a group since May 20th, 2020. I didn’t think about that until we landed on the date for Day 1 of “post week”, the date when the party would be kicking off for real: April 19th 2021. We had […]
