Film has taught me patience and how to really see. I slow down, notice the light, and enjoy the process. It’s brought me back to the joy and discovery of photography.

The more I use the Holga, the more I fall in love with it. It’s so limiting. You have to think about the light and guess at everything else. As Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Art lives from constraints and dies from freedom.”

A couple of images made with my Holga on Kentmere 400. The Holga reminds me why I fell in love with photography — it reduces everything to light, shadow, and instinct.

Just finished a roll of Kentmere 400 — it’s been a while since I last used my Holga. I forgot how much fun this little plastic camera can be. Definitely bringing it back into rotation.

A new image for my “Agave” series — a study in form and shadow. Captured yesterday in Old Town, where history and texture meet.

The day’s catch — he was the only fisherman reeling anything in on Saturday morning.

Birds perched on a light post — I love the simplicity and balance of this composition. I used a red filter to deepen the sky’s tones, creating a stronger contrast.

Back in Imperial Beach this morning, capturing street portraits and connecting with new faces. There’s nothing quite like the energy of meeting people where they are and telling their stories through black and white

A little rain today—refreshing and much needed. Captured on my Fujifilm X-T2 with a 50mm lens. Always love the depth of black and white.

From the fashion archives — shot on film with the classic Nikon N90 and a 180mm lens. Still one of my favorite setups of all time.

Dancers embody a rare balance of strength and grace, each movement a fleeting work of art. This cyanotype print captures that duality—her power held within a moment of elegance.

From a recent still life series. Cyanotypes feel like a return to the darkroom—slow, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. There’s nothing like holding a print you made yourself.

San Diego Bay, captured a few years ago with an old Nikon D40. The camera doesn’t matter—the moment does.

Part of my ongoing exploration in cyanotype. I’m drawn to wide-angle compositions for their immersive quality. Each cyanotype is hand-printed, making every piece a unique expression of place and process. #cyanotype #artforsale #handmadeprint #photooftheday

Shot on 35mm black and white film, then transformed into a cyanotype using an 8-inch digital negative. A blend of analog and alternative processes.
