Pinhole photograph exposed for about two minutes in a very thick forest. My aim was a bit off during the composition, but that's what happens when using a camera without a viewfinder. Camera: 8x10 pinhole camera (self made) Film: Ilford HP5 in 8x10 sheets
When it is this hot, the only sane thing to do is find water. Or at least dream about finding water. Camera: Minolta Maxxum 7 Film: Kodak Ektar 100 in 35mm
Oh boy... it is hot outside. I'm not going to even bother putting on a dress shirt for work today. I'm already looking forward to the fall... Camera: Mamiya RZ67 Film: Ilford FP4 in medium format
Oh Monday... How I wish I was out in a field of grass looking at the stars and watching the sun rise instead of on my couch getting ready to go to work. Camera: Pentax 645n Film: Kodak Ektar 100 in medium format
Processed some color film and I'm very happy with how this one turned out. Camera: Noblex 06/150 Film: Kodak Ektar in medium format
I didn't have waking up to thunder and lightning on my bingo card for the week, but here we are... Camera: Minolta SRT-101 Film: Ilford HP5 in 35mm
Got a fresh batch of color negatives developed late last week. If I ever won the lottery, the first thing I'd do is buy a ten year supply of color film. Camera: Minolta SRT-101 Film: Kodak Ektar 100 in 35mm
More photographs in studio spaces using a vintage flood light that was meant for stage work. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Ilford HP5 in medium format

Back in the day when I was a little more wild and a little less concerned about the future. Camera: Mamiya C330 TLR Film: Ilford HP5 in 120
Making photographs on hot summer days. Camera: Mamiya C330 TLR Film: Fomapan 100
Took a trip to Blue Basin with @floofiesworld.bsky.social. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there, but it was still magical and absolutely worth the drive. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Kentmere 400 in 120
A little color on a day that was determined to be misty and gray. Working with @sadieandsmut.bsky.social Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Kodak Portra 160
Sweeping lines making cathedrals in nature. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Ilford HP5 in medium format
Photograph made with a 4x5 camera out in the Columbia River Gorge. Traffic was terrible on this day and we struggled a bit to find a location free of people to make photographs, but ultimately found this peaceful little spot. Camera: Wista 45DX 4x5 Camera Film: Fomapan 100
Double exposure with a 4x5 camera. This was made at a nice little spot just off the parking lot in a state park. Sometimes you really don't have to go far to make something beautiful. Camera: Wista 45DX 4x5 camera Film: Fomapan 100
My allergies have been going wild the last couple of days and it is driving me mad. But alas, at least there is beauty in the world and I've got film in my fridge to capture just a small piece of it. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Fomapan 100
Just leaning into the fact that it is bright and hot outside. Camera: Pentax 645n Film: Fomapan 100
I couldn't quite get tall enough to get the composition I wanted for this image, but making art is always about compromises and just doing what you can in the moment you are in. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Ilford HP5
Going way way back into the archives. Some photographs you look at and you barely remember the person you were at the time you made it. Camera: Mamiya C330 TLR Film: Ilford HP5 in 120
I'm at the point in life where I get nostalgic for old film stocks that no longer exist. I swear I'm the last person on earth who misses Forte film, a stock that was manufactured in Hungary. It had a really subtle glow to the highlights I loved. Camera: Mamiya C330 TLR Film: Forte in 120
It's hot today and all I want to do is lounge around with a fan blowing on high. Camera: Hassselblad 500c/m Film: Ilford FP4
Old stone houses found in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes you just find the greatest locations when you aren't looking. Camera: Rolleiflex TLR Film: Ilford HP5
Thinking about the coming heat wave in the Pacific Northwest and all the times I've had to make the light work on oppressively bright days. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Fomapan 100
I have an extremely stressful week ahead of me and I'm looking for any small moments of zen I can before all hell breaks open. Camera: Pentax 67 Film: Kentmere 400 in medium format
Sometimes light is so intense it reminds me of a mighty ocean. Camera: Mamiya C330 TLR Film: Fomapan 100 in medium format
Just soaking in some window light on black and white film. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Ilford HP5 in medium format
More photographs with the Noblex. The sun was getting a bit too high in the sky and bright, even at 8am, but we made the best of it still. Camera: Noblex 06/150 Film: Rollei RPX 100 in medium format
Summer days can be perfect days. This photograph was made when the sun was a bit higher in the sky then I would have liked but sometimes you have to make it work anyway. Camera: Hasselblad 500c/m Film: Fomapan 100 in medium format
I could use a swim in the river right now. It's going to be a very hot summer and I'm over it already.
