This story goes all the way back to 2001 when I went on a vacation in the beautiful Salento region of southern Italy. That time I not only met and fell in love with my wife, but I also fell in love with the beautiful villages, landscapes and charismatic people of this region.

5 Frames… ILFORD HP5 PLUS (35mm format / EI 400 / FED-3 Type B + Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 Aspherical LTM)
After having shot black and white film for a while but always having shied away from properly developing it at home (I had developed a few rolls of film in Cinestill Df96 monobath — these were just test rolls and didn’t really have much archival or sentimental value), I decided to go straight for gold […]

5 Frames… At the farm on ILFORD HP5 PLUS and Voigtlander ULTRON SL II 40mm F/2 (35mm format / EI 400 / Nikon FM3A) – by Michael
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 my lockdown on Classic EZ 400 film, a Voigtländer Bessa-R and Nikon FM2 (Skopar 35mm f/2.5 and Voigtländer Ultron 40mm f/2 lenses)
Being on voluntary lockdown on COVID leads to boredom, but it also lead me to explore my vast collection of photography books which I began to draw inspiration from for a little project. I love portrait work especially informal and street portraits. I began this little project two years ago at the start of the […]

5 Frames… Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS on a Voigtländer Bessa III 667 (120 Format / EI 64 / Heliar 80mm f/3.5)
It has always been my dream to take photos, develop and print them myself. When I started photography during school, I had the opportunity to do it in the school lab, but never at home. Later, at university, I lost interest, and over twenty years later an unfortunate coincidence brought me back: a broken leg […]

5 Frames… At Sharjah’s Fossil Rock on ILFORD HP5 PLUS and a Leica M4 (35mm Format / EI 100 / Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 P II)
I have been using a 50mm lens almost exclusively for around two years, and I recently wanted to switch it up. The 35mm focal length has been on my radar for a few months, so when a good price for the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 PII appeared online it caught my attention. Within the week […]

5 Frames… On 30+ year expired Kodak Panatomic X driving through New Mexico (EI 32 / Nikon F3 / Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4)
The bulk loader was a deal and came with mystery film. It had a label that said ‘Plus X 125’ so I loaded a small test roll, shot it and developed it in Kodak D-76. The results were way underexposed but it looked like it developed properly and I could read ‘KODAK SAFETY FILM 5060’ […]

EMULSIVE’S most popular “5 Frames” of 2020
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 […]

5 Frames… Of unperforated Agfa ASP 400S with a Voigtlander Vito (EI 400 / 35mm Format)
I have always been fascinated with panorama photos. With a background in filmmaking, there are of course many examples of exciting compositions in the wide format. Now, these 5 frames are nothing to do with panoramas, quite the opposite really. But the film in question was purchased by me to be used in my TLR […]

5 Frames… Of Winter in Northern Italy on Film Washi A (EI 12 / 35mm Format / Voigtlander Vito B)
Now that we find ourselves on this sort of late hibernation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, I thought it was a good time to put together a few words that have been swirling around in my head for the past months, without ever finding the opportunity to sit down and write them in the form […]

Learning to love a rangefinder camera: Five years with the Leica M6 TTL 0.85
In late 2015 I was hit by a taxi making an illegal turn and received three fractured vertebrae for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When the mist cleared a second or two after I hit the tarmac, I found myself with my right arm aloft, still holding a new to me […]

Camera review: 14 years with the “invisible” Nikon FM3a
In January 2006, after 5 or so years of film photography with a combination of cheaper cameras (e.g., a Minolta SRT-101, a Fed-3 and an old Mamiya 35mm), I bought a like-new Nikon FM3A for $429 USD on eBay. Since then it has shot hundreds (if not thousands) of rolls of film, and has accompanied […]

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 400 / 35mm format / Voigtlander Bessa R4A)
This project isn’t the most conceptually rich, but it certainly is full of life. I recently purchased a Voigtlander Bessa R4A and immediately headed down to the coastline with a roll of ILFORD HP5 PLUS and ‘mans [sic] best friend’, my dog Vito. I am used to shooting with old manual film cameras and was […]

5 Frames… With KosmoFoto Mono 100 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Leica M4)
I discovered this location – Dakota Crescent – whilst riding to my usual skate spots. It is one of Singapore’s oldest estates built in circa 1958. That is even before the independence of Singapore. The name itself is derived from Douglas DC-3 “Dakota” aircraft. The designs of these flats were close to that of towns […]

Two out of three. A look at three bellows cameras from the 1950s: Agfa Record III, Voigtländer Perkeo I, and Agfa Isolette
Most of my photo output is from digital cameras, although I have an abiding love for film. I recently bought some 35mm and medium format cameras online.
