Manhattan Blue in Black and White: A Bridge Less Traveled
2019-08-05 16:48:25 UTC
If you know me you know I love all of New York City’s bridges. The Brooklyn Bridge is, of course, iconic — the neo-Gothic tan stone architecture and hybrid suspension/cable-stay design are awe inspiring. John Roebling created a true masterpiece. And, for a number of personal reasons the Brooklyn Bridge…

A Little Rain, Part 1
2019-06-20 04:45:42 UTC
The weather in NYC has been what some might consider depressing – cloudy, rainy, foggy, all around gloomy. I might be inclined to agree if I weren’t actually enjoying all this grayness. I’ve said it before – bad weather is fun for photographers Ilford Delta 400 | Minolta Maxxum 600si …

The Sorcery Of Ilford XP2 Super
2019-04-10 02:36:12 UTC
For as long as I’ve been shooting black and white film, I never gave much thought to Ilford XP2 Super I had seen some nice work done with it, so it’s not like I had a negative impression of its quality but I just figured that a chromogenic black and…

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…

Dreamland on Film, Pt. 1
2018-05-20 04:58:46 UTC
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
2018-03-13 06:13:10 UTC
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…

Good Times with Ilford SFX 200 B&W Film
2017-04-25 19:28:11 UTC
Oh, Ilford SFX 200, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways Ok, I’m not going to actually count the ways. Just know that I do love this quasi-infrared black and white film. SFX 200 often comes up in conversations about infrared film and almost just as frequently…
