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 […]

If you’re celebrating, Merry Christmas! If you’re not, welcome to the end of a year which, well, that’s enough about that. I made a promise to myself early in 2020 that I’d do my best to focus on the positives and share a little more love than usual this year. Things didn’t turn out exactly […]

This time, I decided to develop some film I’ve been neglecting for several years. Originally I’ve ether been sending my film off for processing, or developing it myself. I’ve been rather […]

EMULSIVE interview #58: I am David Lingham and this is why I shoot film
We grabbed some time to have a chat with David Lingham, Wales-based darkroom purist and ex-litho industry stripper (not THAT kind). David’s got some beautiful images to share, as well as some insight into his photographic journey and why
