I am someone who always has a plan, almost to a fault….  Almost. So right now in times when all of my plans have been blown completely to shit I feel lucky.  I have my family, I have my health and I can always make a new fucking plan.   So here it is: I’m goingContinue reading “Development”

I don’t think I’m alone when I struggle being comfortable in front of the lens.  Standing in front of a camera requires the subject to be vulnerable to the camera and the photographer.  While this seems a little intense when you’re just asking a friend to snap a pic but it involves a lot ofContinue reading “Vulnerability on Film”

I wasn’t going to make the same mistakes on this roll of film.  I had no expectations for this roll of film and a beautiful subject: Joshua, well more specifically Joshua’s trees.  Joshua Tree is only about 2 hours away from Los Angeles but it feels like stepping onto another planet. In South Central LosContinue reading “Blog 5: Joshua Tree on Film”

In this blog, I will write about a roll of film. Each week I plan to take a roll of film on my Minolta-370 camera and analyze both the moments I’ve captured and the process of capturing the photo. I am choosing film because, unlike some digital photography, film always tells the truth of thatContinue reading “Roll 1: Break on Film”
