Making art the ol' fashioned way, on film and paper

So … While I say that this site is devoted to analog photography only, I am well aware of the inherent irony that to present these pics on the web requires them to be digital.

There is no way around that; the WWW is digitally native…

All I can say is that all the pics here are shot on film, hand developed, printed in an enlarger or by contact, and then scanned on my Epson V700 with no further digital alterations, tweaks or enhancements… It’s the best I can do …

If someone, under pain of death, told me I could only have one camera, this would be the one… The medium format Pentax 67 is a tank. It’s big, loud, and heavy, but it handles exceptionally well and the 6x7 neg is big enough to be significantly better than 35 mm film, and only worse than 4x5 film when you try to print it bigger than 16x20.

I have four lens for mine, but the 105 f2.4 stays on most of the time. The 55 f3.5 is next. I barely touch the 200mm and 300mm….

I have the chimney waist level finder for it as well. When I pull off the pentaprism, take off the wood handle, and install the waist level finder, the camera gets much more sleek. It’s my favourite way to shoot landscapes with this camera…
