Film Photography: Even When It Goes Wrong It Looks Alright
2019-03-23 05:46:28 UTC
This is sort of an addendum to my previous post about my Minolta XE-7’s dead light seals. My Minolta XD5 is suffering a similar scourge, yet I remain unmoved to do anything about it. So, here I am again sharing shots that turned out all wrong…but I love them so…

Let The Sunshine In: Light Leaks & My Minolta XE-7
2019-03-15 01:19:53 UTC
The Minolta XE-7 is one of my favorite cameras. When it comes to film cameras, I have a soft spot for Minolta for some reason and the XE-7 sits near the top of the heap. It’s amazingly sturdy and it’s heavy. And that shutter is oh so satisfying to click…

Another round of photos created at the Oculus. This time all taken on Ilford HP5+ film (at 800 ASA), shot with a Minolta XD-5 and Minolta 28mm f/2.8. Developed in HC-110, dilution E. For more film photography, follow me on Instagram.

For those of you who didn’t see my interview with the great Ed Verosky, he asked me to name a few of my favorite films. Among those that I named was Ilford HP5+, because it’s versatile, easy to work with, yada yada yada. I stand by all those things, but…

I hit Coney Island with my Minolta XE-7, Rokkor-X 45mm f/2, a roll of Ilford HP5+ and a roll of Fujicolor Pro 400H. This is what happened. Ilford HP5+ Fujicolor Pro 400

Dark Winter

Never too boldly declare winter in New York to be “over” any time before April. You’ll probably be wrong. Every self-respecting New Yorker know this, so I guess I’m just putting it out there for recent transplants and tourists. To bolster my assertion, I present to you a series of…

The Magic of Ilford HP5+ Pushed to 1600
2018-03-01 07:15:51 UTC
I love contrasty black and white, so when it comes to film photography I tend to prefer films like Rollei Retro 80S and Fujifilm Acros 100 (I just hate the curl). I rarely push film, but I recently shot a roll of Ilford HP5+ and for no good reason decided…
