I have to start this article with a confession… I had never planned for film photography to be a part of my life. I was never interested in film and wanted a digital camera so I could take as many shots as I wanted, while also being able to instantly judge what I was doing. […]

5 Frames… Around Vassar College, New York, on Kodak Portra 400 (120 format / EI 400 / Mamiya RB67 Pro SD + Mamiya-Sekor 180mm f/4.5 C)
I bought a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD and 180mm f4.5 C lens in fall 2021 and did)n’t want to stray too far from home for the first roll through the camera. We recently moved to the Hudson Valley of New York and live across the street from Vassar College, which is more and more becoming […]

5 Frames… Outside Toronto with a Mamiya RB67 Pro SD wingman on Kodak Portra 400 (120 format / EI 400 / Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/3.5 KL)
Moving to Toronto in 2020 may have been the riskiest, rewarding and hectic phase of my life to date. With COVID-19 at its peak then, the city didn’t feel like itself. But through that slow pace, I was able to get a feel and footing on the city. With so many lives passing by you […]

5 Frames… Of Finnish sauna tradition on a Mamiya RB67 (120 Format / EI 200-400 / Fomapan 200 Creative)
Finnish sauna tradition is strong and living heritage. It was in fact added to Unesco’s list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity a few months ago. Smoke sauna is the most traditional form of sauna. Though it is considered by many to be the finest kind it is clear why they are somewhat rare […]

The Analogue Studio Polaroid conversion kit for the Mamiya RB67
I get easily excited about the little things. Whether it’s a new film stock, a film stock revived from the dead (come on Agfa Vista 400!), a new camera, a newly discovered old camera, or literally anything with the word Mamiya in it, my creativity starts rolling and I get my butt off the couch […]

5 Sheets… Of Fujifilm Instax Square Monochrome on a Mamiya RB67 (EI 800 / Mamiya Sekor C 127mm f/3.8)
I’ve spent over a decade of my life living and breathing photography. Like many, I started with digital but quickly realized that I wanted a more physical process. I was, and still am, spending entirely too much time behind a computer. I’ve shot multiple formats, from 35mm to medium and even large format. And then, […]

5 Frames… Of Polaroid 600 + SX-70 film on a Mamiya RB67 and a Rezivot Instant Film back
My Mamiya RB67 and I go back a long way, beside a dumpster at a Tim Horton’s (a donut and coffee shop for those of you not from Canada) where I bought her off of a guy who was selling cameras he picked up from studios that had gone bankrupt. She was heavily used and […]

My First Roll… Of 120 film: ILFORD HP5 PLUS on a Mamiya RB67 at Palm Springs Air Museum
A return to film. Again… For the fourth time. Yep, FOUR TIMES. I learned on film, eventually abandoned for digital due to work, got bored of digital and went back to film, got a digital Hasselblad, got obsessed with pixel-peeping and left film. Sold the ‘Blad, picked up a shitty Kiev 88 for $60 with […]

5 Frames… Getting to know my Mamiya RB67 on Fomapan 100 Classic (EI 100 / 120 format / Mamiya RB67 Professional S)
I originally set out to shoot this roll to try and nail down a few teething problems I had with starting home B&W development again. The first two rolls I had developed had small black specs all over the negative and concentrated particularly along the sides. Finding myself with a day off and no plans […]

EMULSIVE interview #214: I am Ejatu Shaw and this is why I shoot film

Peeled apart for good: the creative obligation not to f**k it up, my last frames of FUJI FP-100C
For about a year and a half, every time I opened my fridge I saw my last remaining 10 exposure pack of Fuji FP 100C instant film, and every time I opened said fridge I was reluctant to take it

5 Frames… With Kodak Portra 160 (EI 80 / 120 format / Mamiya RB67)
I almost exclusively shoot on black and white film for the simple reason that I can develop and print it myself in the darkroom.
