Being out for my birthday this evening I was wandering around downtown taking pictures on my Pentax loaded with a recently expired roll of Kodak Portra 400. I’d never shot Portra and wanted to try it on some things I see pretty often. Being as it’s my birthday I was drinking some beer and woundContinue reading “Film and Anxiety pt 3”

Things to come
As I type this I am taking a break from setting up my own webstore to sell my prints directly. I feel this is the best way forward to ensure quality and satisfaction. I’m not seeking to make a living off of these prints, I only hope that I’ll be able to fund my photographyContinue reading “Things to come”
Bonus #1
Take A Breath
It’s been a rather boring week for me, nothing to really write home about. Just got done doing some editing some photos. Sometimes life gets to be too much, work, family, friends, hobbies, self-care. They all have to be done, but sometimes for me I just need to stop and take a minute and reallyContinue reading “Take A Breath”
Some Title Some Time
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. . .” Robert Frost was on to something there. I am now just over a week from my 30th birthday and I am faced with a choice, to continue down the path I am on, well worn with a known payoff, or to forge a new path, oneContinue reading “Some Title Some Time”
Anxiety and Film pt 2
First of all I apologize for the delay in posting again. Life happens, film takes time to develop and edit. The anxiety I was feeling when I last posted has subsided into an excitement. My first film camera works! I took a leap of faith and paid $80 for it hoping it’d work and besidesContinue reading “Anxiety and Film pt 2”

I never thought that my anxiety would affect my photography. They seemed so disconnected, like oil and water they could never mix. Yet now that I have a film camera and have tried taking pictures with it, I’m a nervous wreck. I’m worried that I may have my F-stop not set right, my ISO changed,Continue reading “Anxiety and Film”
Pictures from the week
There’s something about pictures of churches that always gets me. I think its the steep roof angles with the tower reaching towards the sky. Like man reaching up to God. I’m not as religious as I once was, much more skeptical interest than fanatical faith. Ahhh Mardi Gras. It’s something else in the states onContinue reading “Pictures from the week”
Looking Ahead
Sometimes it just hits me, I turn 30 in a month. It isn’t some far off date anymore. It’s scary. Truth be told, I never thought I’d make it this far, I always worried that my hard partying, drinking, and generally reckless lifestyle would always bite me in the ass. Guess not, or at leastContinue reading “Looking Ahead”
Man and Nature
To me there is something beautiful about something we as humans have put into nature like a dock into a pond. No matter how hard we try, how resilient we make it, it returns to the earth to begin a new cycle. The challenge then becomes how to preserve the beauty of nature. To notContinue reading “Man and Nature”
