Even though I shoot mostly black and white film, I’m not one of those film snobs who looks down on color film. To prove it, here are some photos I took last week in Portsmouth, NH and Boston, MA. Sure, I had black and white film with me. But I…

I’m thankful to have curated some really great friends. As if just being super great guys wasn’t enough, Brett has put a Hasselblad 500 CM on extended loan with me and Kevin gifted me a camera yesterday. No reason. He’s just solid like that. It’s an Agfa Super Solinette rangefinder.…

Continue reading →: Rollei with it, baby!Rolleiflex TLR cameras are widely considered the gold standard of medium format cameras. Some even say they’re the Rolls Royce of TLRs.
