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 […]
Read More The Ashton to Tetonia Bike TrailThe 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 FAI’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 […]

After the completion of the Utah Division of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, Green River became a fueling and watering spot for the railroad.

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 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 More Photos with the Asanuma Lens“Ninety-nine percent of the lenses are better than 100% of photographers.” – Scott Bourne My friend Lynn Taylor from the Ogden Camera Club gave me this Minolta MD mount lens a few years ago. It’s in great condition, was still in the box with all the packaging materials. Has no scratches, no fungus, and no […]
Read More Asanuma LensMy son has become a master at thrifting. When looking for vintage clothing, he knows exactly what to look for. On occasion, he will find a camera and send me a text and ask if it’s worth investigating. Back in May, he came across a stack of Olympus gear at one of his favorite stores. […]
Read More Olympus Stylus Epic DLX (1997)A few weeks ago I took the day off and spent some time at Flynn’s Retrocade with my Canon EOS 10S and some Agfa Vista 200 color film. It was nice to go somewhere during a cold COVID afternoon that was indoors and open. Thanks to Michelle at Flynn’s for allowing me to use my […]
Read More Flynn’s on FilmOne of the coolest things about the online film community is the generosity of film photographers. Last year I emailed Natalie Smart, a Brighton UK film photographer after reading one of her blog posts. Seeing that she had just purchased a Hasselblad 500 C/M, I had several original Hasselblad brochures, and some other film items […]
Read More Lomography Berlin Kino 400I was contacted last May by someone looking to donate a camera. A reader named Sarah had acquired her grandfather’s Rollei 35 and wanted to make sure it would go to someone that would use it. After a few back-and-forth emails, Sarah sent the camera from North Dakota. I asked Sarah to tell me a […]
Read More Rollei 35 (1966 – 1974)I mentioned back in April that one life changing event that occurred to me in 2019 was weight loss surgery. In the time leading up to the surgery, I told myself that I was going to get back into cycling once I had lost some weight and was comfortable getting back on a bike. I […]
