The model in this image is actually posing for a pinhole photograph. The exposure was a bit on the “long-ish” side so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to pull out the Leica and expose a few regular images while she was laying about anyway!

Jumping around in a field is just about the most fun a person can have.

Pulled out the Mamiya 645e and really pushed the HP5 to get this image.

Some old chairs that caught my eye while I was walking around town.
I’m still trying to get the hang of using my 50mm Nokton F/1.1. This is an incredibly challenging lens in more ways than one. Not only is the depth of field extremely shallow when wide open, but the lens is also rather large with a very short focus throw. I suppose this is a good thing when trying to focus fast on a moving subject, but it is also a bad thing when your plane of focus is so razor thin.

Pinhole photograph on 8x10 sheet film. Exposure was a little over twenty minutes long so all the “swirl” you see on the image is from the model breathing in and out during the exposure time.

Photographed on a bright spring day with a lot of natural light coming through the window.

mikedunn asked: What is your go to film?
Right now my go to film is Ilford HP5 for 400 speed and Fomapan 100 when I want something slower.
Photographed in San Francisco a couple of years ago near the abandoned forts by the Golden Gate Bridge.

Made this image when I went out in the backyard to feed the chickens this morning.

It really hit me this morning just how much I’ve been working indoors so far this year. This must stop. The great outdoors is in need of some attention.
In the meantime, enjoy this image from an indoor studio.

I'm a photographer, art lover, and pretty much a laid back sort of guy. I live in Portland Oregon, I love nature and all things beautiful, I ride a bike most of the time, and well...that pretty much sums me up!
Oh, and I have a fondness for cats, pugs, and chickens. Can't forget about that.
I shoot a ton of film and a little bit of digital. I'm not going to deny I'm a bit of a camera junkie and I have a passion for collecting cameras just as much as I enjoy shooting with them.
The darkroom is what I consider my zen place and i try to spend as much time under the red lights as I can. They tell me that's where the magic happens and quite honestly I can't dispute that.
I welcome unsolicited e-mails so if you have questions for me or just feel like saying hello by all means feel free! Otherwise I hope you enjoy what you see here and thank you for looking.
