A New Roll OF Film
I loaded this roll of Portra 400 into my Contax T Rangefinder while completing my big ride in Anza-Borrego desert, but then I really didn’t take any photos on it until we were out in the poppy fields north of Los Angeles. From there, I too, photos in Berkeley, in the Redwoods, and then on…

Desert Solitude: The Anza-Borrego backcountry 60 miler
Well, the best laid January plans inevitably lead to something-something unlaid plans. After a seemingly normal start to the new year, come mid-February, it started raining and then it kept raining. It continues to rain. It has just been absolutely one of the toughest, greyest winters I’ve ever experienced out here. But the rain hasn’t…

A new roll of film
This roll of Tri-X 400 was loaded on the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles in late December, then it sat until a trip to the Oregon Coast in early February, and then finished off at a nearby construction site late last week. On my Canon T90 with the nice 50mm lens. I’ve been really into…

a New roll Of film
Today’s new roll of film is a roll of Cinestill 800 shot on a sunny day in Los Angeles on my Canon T90. I took a few shots right in the commercial hell that is Hollywood, and then walked into the serene and beautiful hills above. There are many, many good photos to be had…

A New Roll of Film
Shot a roll of SantaColor100 (repackaged Kodak Aerocolor 125, an aerial surveillance film) on my Canon T90 using a new-to-me Canon F1.2 50mm lens (oohlahlah). Aerochrome is pretty famous for boosting the reds and I see a bit of that although I think my scanning software neutralized the effect a bit. But pretty happy with…

A week in the Spanish Pyrenees
This past June, I turned the big 4 O. Leading up to this established “life event”, I debated what I could do to celebrate. My buddy David was occupied with new parenthood, as was my brother Adam. At one point, I envisioned a couple of close friends and my brothers heading to the famed Retallack…

A New Roll of Film
In Life as in Death These photos are from August and September 2022, Tri-X 400 on my Canon T90. Photos are from a trip to Dufur, the White River wildlife area and camping above near the 44 trails, plus Anna and Olie’s wedding. For whatever reason, I had major exposure issues whenever I took any…

On the Ruby Crest Trail with Neil and two dogs
It’s strange to begin a trip report by fawning over your travelling companion, but I need to do a little bit of that here to start. My cousin Neil has always been a huge, positive influence on me, perhaps as close to a role model as I had in high school. Two years older than…
