I stumbled across Kenneth Wajda’s honest, enthusiastic and informative camera reviews on YouTube a few years ago. Then I discovered his equally positive and peace-loving Rolleiflex street portraiture and I was a bona fide fan! When I had the opportunity to meet Kenneth it was only natural to take a b&w square portrait of him on a Tessar lens. 🤓

This is a cute little house in downtown Frederick Maryland where I once shot prebridal for a wedding. On this day, the evening light was beautifully cast over the historic home and the scene just lent itself to being shot on square format.

I sold a 16x24 silver gelatin print of this Papermoon Diner photo this weekend. Can't wait to see how it looks in the clients' home!

So tired of film photography groups that contain more digital images of film cameras than film photos taken with the cameras members claim are so beloved.

Let’s do better, film photographers!

“In this episode, Johnny opens up about how film became his artistic north star, how he and his wife built a photography business that balances their creative vision with what their clients want, and why he believes photography should be rooted in truth, even if it’s not always “realistic.””

Thanks to this latest Target ad, as a film photographer, I finally feel “seen!” 😅

Imagine shooting with a giant Fujifilm Instax! 😂

The Nikkor 85/1.8 K produces hexangonal out of focus points of light. What do you think of non-circular points of light in an image?
