"Rock Face".

Shot using the Sinar F & Fuji Provia 100F on a walking trail in Blacksburg, VA.

Welp... gotta start somewhere. Gallery page is up on my website, and will be getting added to as I make and process scans. #filmphotography #believeinfilm #mediumformat #largeformat #4x5 #istillshootfilm #filmisnotdead

Update on the "film rewind fail": bulk load length was fine (actually probably a couple frames too long). But the tape had come undone from the spool in the reloadable canister. Reattached in changing bag, and was able to then rewind as normal in-camera.

That moment when you try to rewind your 35mm camera and meet zero resistance on the rewind crank.

I know I made sure it was loaded right at the start.

Which probably means my bulk-roll was a frame or two short and I pulled the taped end out of the canister. Oops.

To the changing bag, Batman!

This winter has been a lot. We're making up for the lack of winter the last 3 years, it would seem. Aside from walking the beagles (Jack likes to eat snow, Willow just wanted to get back inside ASAP), I did get out there a few times with the 4x5 Toyo AX to shoot some #ilford #HP5+ sheets.

Why I'm moving to concentrate my online effort around photography in just two places: here, and on my own website.

Starting to put content up over on Substack! I think there and here on BlueSky are going to be the places I focus my online attention most.

Just received the Reflected Light zines volumes 1 & 2 from @benhorne.bsky.social . Beautifully packaged and presented. I love reading the stories behind the photos almost as much as looking at the photos!

I admit that while I don't think it's healthy to define self-worth based on social media "likes", it *is* nice to realize that here they're nearly all from real accounts (as opposed to spam accounts which have little/no content but a bio link to an OnlyFans page. Oh IG, how did you go so wrong?)

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Another Sinar F #4x5 shot on #Ilford #FP4+. This is looking across the Roanoke River at sunset, at Green Hill Park near Salem, Virginia. #river #landscape #trees #rocks #monochrome #blackandwhite #istillshootfilm #believeinfilm #largeformatphotography

My family photo project continues. The thing that’s amazing is that photos, negatives &/or slides can be retrieved after years. Generations of photos can still be retrieved & digitized today. Think if the billions of family photos on cell phones/hard drives that are thrown away or can’t be retrieved

Hey look! First post, and it's one of my 4x5 large format landscapes. With trees. I have a thing for trees, if my collection of photographs is any indication. You should probably expect more trees where this came from.
