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.

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.

Last few weeks for Pier 24 Photography in San Francisco before they close permanently. Highly recommend their last exhibit Turning the Page. Jim Goldberg’s Raised by Wolves & Robert Frank sections were incredible. pier24.org/exhibitions/

Yesterday marked day I moved from LA to SF. 24 years in SF/Bay and what a journey it’s been. Had a goal, took a chance and it’s been an adventure. #filmphotography #OlympusXA4

Hi all. Not very active here but want to start sharing some #photos. Mostly old ones and some of my favorites for now. Here’s one from San Francisco 2008.
