Slowed down over the summer now that I don’t have access to a sheet film scanner at the school’s lab. Trying to get my hands on a V600 but slim luck with a fully functional scanner 🤔 Trying to avoid dropping them off at a commercial lab to cut down on wait time but it may be my only option.

Not sure about gallery etiquette, but I couldn’t help snagging my Vanguard Winner plaque from the Eric Fischl Vanguard juried show, from my 5x7 silver gelatin piece that ended up at PHX Art Museum. Much love to everyone who came and supported.

From the @phxfilmrevival.com megaroll during their past event this month. Thanks so much for the photo! I can’t wait to meet up again, so glad to connect more with the local analog community finally.

So excited to share that I’ll be showing work tomorrow at @phxart.bsky.social Phoenix Art Museum’s Eric Fischl lecture event April 2nd for the Student Art Exhibition and Vanguard Award. I am beyond honored to take part, and so thankful for those that motivated me to enter.

Got to digitize my tooth photo. Made some really rich 8x10 and 5x7 prints of it! #believeinfilm #phoenixphotographer #35mm

Another print day in the lab. Not an official scan but I hope to upload the final jpg soon. Used a special 90’s medical camera for these macro shots and I think I’m in love with the test pics already.

Having some extra fun time in the darkroom today, finding shots I don’t even remember taking.

Almost didn't take the first one, but it ended up being a favorite of mine from my zoom lens. I love how it just melts away the background (that was actually pretty busy with other plants). I'll have to use that zoom more often to create the dreamy effect.

A friend of mine on 35mm, years ago in front of a townhouse we all shared in Glendale, CA.
