Panther’s Falls 2 – December 2020
Panther’s Falls 2 – December 2020 I’m pretty happy with how this exposure, and the previous one, came out. This one was handheld, f/11, about 1/60s, on HP5+. I have a fairly steady hand but 1/60s is about my limit personally. If you want to see much larger versions of these digital scans you can…

Panther’s Falls – December 2020
Panther’s Falls – December 2020 As a kid I’d walk to these falls every chance I got. I had many bear encounters, caught tons of snakes (even though my mother forbade it), and swam a bunch. It was nice to visit them after nearly a few decades of being away. I shot this on Saturday…

My first contact print
Above is my first ever contact print. A contact print is when you lay a negative (film, paper, tin, glass) onto photo-sensitive paper and shine light onto it to expose the paper. You then develop that paper into a positive print (or what you’d think of as a normal photo). This is a milestone in…

Birds on wires – January 2020 Somehow these images got clogged into my drafts and never published. These pigeons roost above and below a nearby highway bridge. They were enjoying the sunset when I captured these images.

Over the river – March 2020
Taken with Ansco Speedex on expired Kodak Tri-X 400 Over the river – March 2020 I love how this tree hangs over the river. I’ve photographed it many times and assume I will many times more. This particular image is a re-scan of a negative. I learned a slightly different way to scan and edit…

Truck @ 40mph – March 2020
Konica Autoreflex T, expired Kodak Pan X film Truck @ 40mph – March 2020 Like all of my photos, there is a story behind this one. My boss gave me a camera as a gift. And I shot some really old expired film through it. This was one of my favorites from the roll. More…

Studebaker – March 2020
Studebaker – March 2020 A few more medium format film exposures. These were also taken with the Ansco Speedex. This old Studebaker sits a stone’s throw away from a river that runs directly in front of our place. From the stories I’ve gathered it was sitting across the street for a few decades before being…

Sweeney’s Bench – Scranton, PA – March 2020
Sweeney’s Bench – Scranton, PA – March 2020 This being my very first “serious” medium format film exposure using the Ansco Speedex 6.3 – a camera from the 1930s that is fully manual. I’m extremely happy with this image. Even though I was using Kodak Tri-X 400 film that expired in the early 1980s, the…
