8-30-15 Shooting B&W 35mm Film, Motion Graphics and Video Journalism
Hey people!
What a week. Thanks for bearing with me. Luckily, things should be getting easier real soon.
Here’s what I’ve been up to lately:
6-25-15 My current projects – DP, comedy writing, and photography!
Hey Gang!
After an awesome weekend away in beautiful Massachusetts, my girlfriend and I almost got trampled to death on Monday night, waiting for Ghostbusters to start in Bryant Park. You can see why it was so insane in the video from that night (above). We were at the back path of the green and a bunch of people walked right across our picnic blankets… in their shoes… without saying anything to us! It was a pretty awful scene of overcrowding. Luckily, at the end of it, we revived and got to see some of Ghostbusters!
6-12-15 My New Used Nikon F3HP Rocks!
5-29-15 Kodak Film, Film, Film!
Happy Friday!
There’s been a lot of exciting stuff going on for me this past week!
I’m super excited to say that I just received some great film from Kodak for my next photo shoot!
I’ll also be shooting two 35mm test rolls with my new used Nikon F3HP and I will also be testing a new used Polaroid Colorpack II instant camera this weekend! And I’ve also been researching… Zines (more on that later).
5-18-15 Cheapest Photo Processing in New York City?
I hope you all had a great weekend! New York City has become humid and sticky. Arg!
Over the weekend, I went to get a roll of 35mm film processed, which I shot with my Panaview Opti-Wide panoramic camera. And my local film shop wasn’t there anymore! I began to freak out. Luckily, I saw a little sign with their new location. It was then that I began to appreciate that they’re probably the cheapest place to process 35mm in all of New York City! I walked right over and there they were. Thank the Lord!
5-14-15 I just ordered a Nikon F3HP Camera Body!

Hey Readers!
I’m totally riding the analog 35mm film wave! Since I’m arranging to shoot real 35mm film soon (Kodak film), I decided it was time to get a real, professional 35mm camera! Some of you may remember I ordered a Nikon FE last year to test. I had to return it when I realized I needed something better: the Nikon F3HP. This week, I spent additional hours of research online to make sure it was the best bet (and most affordable option), and finally decided it was time to buy. That way, I can use the F3HP body with my old school Nikon AI and AIS lenses!
5-12-15 Photo Experiment on 35mm photo taken with the Rollei 35 travel camera!
Here’s another photoshop experiment on a scanned 35mm negative I took along the Hudson River to test a Rollei 35mm Travel Camera. I combined it in photoshop with a scan of a wet plate. I think it looks pretty convincing, and I didn’t have to get any chemicals on my hands. Technology is extraordinary!
Rock!

5-6-25 R3 MonoBath – an all-in-one film developing solution!
Hey Readers!
I just watched this video from the excellent Youtube Channel The Art of Photography posted by Photographer Stephen Thorley on the Google + Film and Analogue Photography Community. If you have the chance, check the group out. I just joined up and it has nice, active users. Also check out the videos on The Art of Photography Youtube Channel when you can.
5-5-15 Another Photo Experiment and Researching 35mm Film Stock!
4-27-15 PhotoMontage or “Composite” from a Scanned Negative
Another PhotoMontage or “Composite”
Greetings! Another start to a week and another chance to make art!
I really like how my composite photo turned out! I took a scanned negative from my Black Rollei 35 35mm test roll I shot at DIA Beacon last year and combined or “composited” it in Photoshop CS6. The result is pretty cool!
More experiments to come!
Shoot on!
