"Rockefeller Center Skating Rink". A handheld, multiple exposure image made with a #Holga camera in NYC. #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography
A square, black and white photo made with a Holga plastic film camera. Ghostly figures of ice skaters fill much of the frame; the result of making several exposures (six or so) on one frame of film.

A photograph taken on Thursday at Cleveleys in Lancashire. Holga 120N with a Lee Big Stopper. The filter was more than double the cost of the camera!

"Field of Stars". This was made (circa 1950) with a strange 6x9 plastic camera known as a "Stylex"; from the Herbert George Camera Company of Chicago. Even stranger was the 1968-expired "DandiPan" film that created all those "stars". #expiredfilm #filmphotography
A black and white photo of a silhouetted figure standing on a small outcropping of rocks by the ocean. The sky is full of small white dots resembling stars, the result of the decaying fifty plus year expired film used to take this shot.

Teapot Rock is now sadly gone. Washed into the sea by Hurricane Fiona a few years ago. This is an ink transfer on Arches 88 paper made using hand sanitizer and some old overhead projection transparency sheets. #printmaking #pei #blackandwhitephotography
A square black and white photo. A small rock formation stands in the center just of the ocean coastline. The formation is framed by onshore cliffs on either side.

Omaha, NE. November 2025.

#Omaha #OmahaStreets #Photography
The back of three signs along a parking lot are illuminated in the light from the setting sun. The skyline of a downtown mostly comprised of old brick buildings is visible in the background. One prominent six-story building is illuminated by the sun as well. Above, a dark blue sky is partly clouded.

Space Shuttle Columbia in a field. #holga #filmphotography #pei
Black and white square photo of what looks like the front of the Columbia space shuttle. The paint is peeling and there is an overgrown bush in the front. A small stairway is in the bush as well. The shuttle (now gone) is what remained from a roadside attraction in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was made mostly out of plywood and scrap metal.

A few more tea toned Cyanotypes that I made a while back - the beginnings of a new project that was put on hold but I’m hoping to start again soon.
A selection of tea toned Cyanotype prints. The prints a different shapes and sizes and the images are if jackdaws, crows, starlings and landscapes. A selection of tea toned Cyanotype prints.

An image from my series of images (and handmade book) titled "Silver Lake in Winter". #holga #photobook
Black and white square photo made with a Holga plastic camera. I am on the shore looking down at the surface of a frozen lake. Branches that resemble bare trees are on the right side of the image. On the surfacce of the frozen water is a crack in the ice that resembles another bare tree.

I started this project a while ago & then events in life put it on the back burner. I’m hoping to pick it up again soon.

I always start a body of work with a lot of experimenting with printing, papers & processes and put them into a scrapbook. These are tea toned Cyanotypes on Japanese paper.
A book containing tea toned Cyanotypes. The prints are of jackdaws, starlings, crows and a snow landscape- the colours are black and a cream/light brown.

Coney Island. #Holga #NYC #filmphotography
A square black and white photo of part of an arcade building at Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. Almost all of the building is covered is the lines of shadows created by the louvered roofing.

Valley the Gods in southern Utah. An ink transfer on Arches 88 paper. #printmaking
Square black and white image of some buttes in the Utah Wilderness. The image has many imperfections from the transfer process but invokes the fearsome nature of this landscape.

I am the world's worst participator in all of these photographic days-weeks-months events, but here is a Polaroid image that made for last year's Polaroid Week thing when I actually took part. Made with a Polaroid Lab and some Reclaimed Blue film #polaroid #instantfilm
A blue-colored Polaroid instant film image. A ghostly figure stands silhouetted in/on the ocean shore. The figure is surrounded by a bright circle of light.

Some images from a small series of prints on gampi paper over gold leaf. #printmaking

Ink emulsion lift (with incorporated layer of gold leaf) on synthetic media. Seven layers of ink transfer medium in total. More info in alt text. #printmaking #inktransfer
A gold monotone image of a tree trunk surrounded by leaves and branches. The image was made using multiple layers of transfer medium and a layer of gold leaf which were applied to an inkjet transparency. After drying, the whole thing was soaked in water for a few hours causing the "emulsion" to float off (like a Polaroid emulsion would). The emulsion was then applied to some white synthetic media using yet another layer of transfer medium to glue it to the synthetic surface.

Exhale

🍁Autumn Polaroid Week Day 1

I don’t have the right words for this place with it’s dark and light.
It claims my soul; and brings me peace at the edge of night.

A Polaroid Diptych of Loch Lomond from Firkin Point. On the left, branches of a fallen tree are silhouetted against the sky and water. The steep hill on the distant shore is in shadow and reflected in the water. On the right, the last of the sun bathes the top of the hill on the far shore in light. The water is like a mirror, smooth and reflecting the sky and hill. The stump of a tree is shown in the foreground.
