The Ashton to Tetonia Bike Trail

During the Fourth of July weekend last summer, my wife and I visited family in Idaho and took our bikes to ride The Ashton to Tetonia bike trail. With my favorite cycling camera, the Olympus Stylus Epic DLX (1997), in my back jersey pocket, we stopped at several spots to enjoy the scenery and capture […]

Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash

Sometimes it’s nice to take a camera off the shelf that you haven’t used in a long time. That’s exactly what I did with the Kodak Brownie. You can go back to 2015 and see my original post on the Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash and read the specs. One thing fun about the Brownie is […]

Kowa Six Photos

After the initial two test rolls in the Kowa Six, I shot another three rolls the following week. This time I used the light meter in the Kowa Six Exposure Finder. I found that the images shot on two rolls of Kodak Gold 200 look great. The images I shot with Ultrafine eXtreme 100 were […]

The Historic Wendover Airfield

I’ve waited to post these photos because today is the 81st anniversary of the attack on America’s Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. On December 7, 1941, “a day that will live in infamy,” the Japanese began a two-hour surprise attack with 350 planes that damaged or destroyed 330 U.S. aircraft, 19 ships, and killed […]

Olympus OM-2N

I think I own enough Olympus film cameras to officially call myself an Oly-Fanboy. If you look though many of my photos on Instagram, there’s no question that the OM-1N is one of my favorite cameras. It went with me for 3 weeks to Europe, and I recently used it on a 2-week Route 66 […]

British Field Day 2021

Each year at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, Utah, owners of British vehicles show off their restored cars, motorcycles, and projects at the annual British Field Day. I’m finally getting around to these images. I’m behind on culling my film photography. All my photos from 2021 are in Lightroom, but they’re just sitting waiting […]

Saturday Adventures

One thing I’ve learned from my fellow film photography nerds Jim Grey and Alex Luyckx is there’s always something local you can photograph. My wife likes to call them our Saturday Adventures. We’ll often pick a city or place we’ve never been in Utah and spend a Saturday there. The following pictures were taken along […]

Book Report: Shooting Film

Last month I was contacted by Octopus Books UK/Hachette Books US, the publisher of Shooting Film, and asked if I would like to review their latest book by Ben Hawkins and Liza Kanaeva-Hunsicker. It’s not very often a new book is published on film photography, let alone a new one that describes what a new […]

PT & More 6×6

During my recovery from shoulder surgery, I’ve been going to weekly physical therapy. I joke that I’m paying other people to torture me, but I am seeing the benefits from the exercises and stretching. For me, the best part about going to the local medical clinic is seeing the beautiful photography from two guys that […]
