I see things. Photographer of various film formats. Progressive. Alameda 🇵🇭 📷
Haven’t printed in a darkroom in decades but finally did in our very own space. So fun and I can see myself spending hours in there. Just need some tweaking here and there but off to a good start.

Darkroom coming along. Sink is done, light proofing the room is almost done but still need to install vent/fan. Enlarger setup done and picked up a Rolleimat in great condition along with the Omega that needs a good cleaning.

Can’t wait to finally get a darkroom in our basement. Custom made sink on way. Still a long way to go but it’s game on!

Trying to gather the energy to update my website (alapan.com). Back in the blogging days I posted often for self motivation. It uses Wordpress so I’ll just add a simple theme with galleries. Wish me luck. Here’s the very first photo I posted from 2005, ironically from Alameda where I now live.

In these crazy times, sometimes you just need to see a man dressed as cereal pour cereal onto a prone opponent in a wrestling match while the crowd shouts ‘this is real’ over and over. Hoodslam, Oakland

Sharing info about a 88 yr old Berkeley photographer I met as I had my Rolleiflex around my neck.
Nick Lawrence photographed New York's Lower East Side & also Fayette County Tennessee in the 60's. Incredible work similar to the style of Lange and Mary Ellen Mark.

I was getting some empanadas at the SF Ferry building and noticed a Fuji Instax photo just sitting there. Me being me I grabbed it. Not sure if it was left on purpose but it’s pretty cool-so tired to recreate it.

WTH. They are fighting the wrong people here. God damn Dem “leadership”
We are on our own.
SCOOP: House Democratic leadership is "very unhappy" with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics, such as outfit coordination and refusal to clap during Trump's speech to Congress.
