Hey Gang, Happy Friday!
Some of you may have noticed that my Instagram posts (below) are gone. It turns out that my IG account was suddenly disabled.

9-9-16 Testing out my Olympus XA2 35mm Camera!
Hey all, I hope you’ve had a great week. I’ve been busy shooting 35mm film! This morning, I just finished a roll with my Nikon F3HP.

8-17-16 35mm Half-Frame Camera Research
Hey Readers,
The last couple weeks I’ve been obsessed with researching 35mm half-frame cameras. I’m taking a trip in October and I want to bring a 35mm film camera, but don’t want my Nikon F3 getting stolen.

7-25-16 Still getting used to my FujiFilm x100 Camera
Hey everyone! I hope you all had wonderful weekends. I’m still getting used to using my used FujiFilm x100 camera. I’ve already posted several test photos to my Instagram, but thought I’d share them both here so you can see several examples. I’ll post again with more impressions of the camera once I’ve used it more. For now, I’m experimenting with trying to get a TriX “look” out of the camera. Have a great week!

I’ll post the results of my tests soon and in the meantime, I hope you all have a great week!
Cheers!

7-8-16 Jim McKenzie, Rising Fine Artist and Filmmaker!
Recently, I had the chance to meet director, sculptor and fine artist Jim Mckenzie in SoHo. We first got in touch on Instagram about a year ago when I saw photos of his bright, colorful, fanciful art with it’s touch of melancholy. When we met in person, I immediately noticed his eyes. They were full of mirth and energy. I’d even say he has, “laughing eyes”.
