“The rituals are symbolic actions, an enormous signifier that without transmitting anything, the community recognizes in them signs of identity.” The Disappearance of Rituals, Byung-Chul Han What is the meaning of a tradition? Recently, I was invited to a celebration, a party to commemorate the 15th birthday of a coworker’s granddaughter, with whose family we […]

Travelogue: Fujicolor in Paris on a Nikon L35AF
If I’m being completely honest, Paris was not my first choice for a vacation destination in February. We were headed to Mallorca to meet with my in-laws for a week, and it was cheaper to fly to Paris and then to Spain, so we decided to spend a few days in the French capital. I […]

Tango Dancers, Or the story of how I made a zine
On a sunny day in July 2022 while walking through Spitalfields market in London I spied a group of people in the distance. It was then I heard the mellifluous tones I would later come to recognise as music to Tango to. It was, for me at least, a dream come true. I could get […]

I wanted to visit Colombia’s Tatacoa Desert before traveling to the US, and asked my friend Susana if she would like to take a motorcycle trip there. She immediately said YES!

5 Frames… Of New York City on ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm format / EI 320 / Nikon FM2 + Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.2) – by Ray Quy
I’ve primarily been a digital photographer; however, with the pestering of my college friend, I’ve picked up film photography. I grew up watching my father take pictures of me and my family with cameras, one of which is the Nikon FM2 that I used to take these images. And of all of the cameras I’ve […]

5 Frames… Of a weekend in NYC on ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional (EI 3200 / 35mm format / Nikon FM2 + Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF-D)
This trip to New York City was my first time there in about 15 years. I have always admired several photographers who were known for capturing New York street photography. Some of my favorites are Joel Meyerowitz, Vivian Maier, Jill Freeman, Gordon Parks, and Saul Leiter. My work isn’t anywhere close to their incredible street […]

Hidden in Plain Sight: A 36-Day Quest to Discover the Daily Miracle of Nature’s Quiet Moments – by Dan Kehlenbach
The concept seemed simple — pick a specific place and explore it every day for thirty-six days, use only one camera and one lens, and take one photograph each day. One click of the shutter. With film. No second chances, no do-overs. I’ve been fascinated by this notion ever since watching Jim Brandenburg’s Chased by […]

6 Frames… Of macro-ish photos on ADOX COLOR MISSION 200 and a Nikkor OC 35mm + macro tube (EI 200 / 35mm Format / Nikon F)
I’m happy to have been able to shoot a roll of ADOX’s COLOR MISSION 200! I know rolls of this are hard to come by, and I really hope they release more of it soon. From what I understand this is a completely new color film that was resurrected by ADOX from a past R&D project. […]

I was recently in a farming community outside Columbia, Missouri, where my in-laws have a wonderful farm. It’s where my wife, my daughter, and I go to get away from the city and relax. My mother-in-law had just returned from a cattle auction the week before and she brought several new cows home with her. […]

5 Frames… Of Dublin’s Georgian Quarter on Kodak 100 T-MAX (35mm format / EI 100 / Nikon F65 + Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G) – by Conor O’Brien
When I saw the “$20 Film Camera Challenge” article on DPReview in August 2020, I never expected to end up writing this article a year later. Being a child of the 70s and 80s, I grew up in an analogue world where a good camera was something you aspired to. You didn’t buy the latest […]
