The Nikon FA was produced by Nippon Kogaku from 1983 to 1987. It was designed as a mid-range camera with high-end features for serious amateur photographers. The most sophisticated feature is the matrix metering system, which uses five separate metering sensors to determine the optimal exposure settings for a given scene. The FA was also […]
Read More Nikon FAAfter 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 […]

Read More Kowa Six (1968)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 […]

Read More Film GiveawayLast year I created my own film brand with a special Utah touch! Brother Brigham’s Polygamy Panchromatic 400 Black & White Film. The slogan is: To tell you the truth, it’s really Ultrafine eXtreme 400, which is probably Fomapan 400. I’ve just bulk loaded and placed a spiffy label on the canister. It’s all meant […]

Read More Northern Adventures – Part ILast year I wrote about acquiring an Olympus Stylus Epic DLX. Because of the small size, I’ve been taking this camera with me on my many bicycle adventures. It’s a great camera that fits in the bag mounted to my seat, in my riding shorts, or the back pocket on my jersey. When I want […]
Read More Cycling with the Olympus Stylus Epic DLXI 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 […]
Read More Olympus OM-2NEach 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 […]
Read More British Field Day 2021Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved Volkswagen Beetle’s. My parents often retell stories of me as a kid yelling “Volkswagen!” from the backseat of the car whenever I would see one. Sadly, I’ve never owned one. For me it has to do with not knowing which end of a screwdriver to use as […]

Read More More Saturday AdventuresOne 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 […]
Read More Saturday AdventuresLast 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 […]
Read More Book Report: Shooting FilmDuring 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 […]
Read More PT & More 6×6During the last half of 2021, I’ve been largely absent from my site. It started in mid-July while riding my mountain bike and I fell. While I’d prefer to embellish a story about going over the handlebars while descending a challenging mountainside, the truth is less than exciting. While riding along a flat, paved trail, […]
