Previous Next A little experimentation with pushing film.  I went down the street to Zuma's ranch with my wife, Emily, to shoot some Cinestill BwXX film with the Nikon SP and finished the roll in the greater Denver area.  This was my first time pushing film, and first time using... read more →

Previous Next I lost a bet, so I owed my good friend Josh a paid trip to LA.  This bet entailed a three sport competition.  I beat him in the Dave Kimmel memorial disc golf tournament in my (and his in high school) hometown of Alliance, NE.  Next, was basketball. ... read more →

These are some of the more interesting shots from the trip on the Nikon SP with the only film I could find at CVS, some fugi 400 Superia.  This was a work trip for... read more →

Nikon SP w/ 28mm F4 Voitlander lens shot on Ilford Ortho plus, scanned with Epson V600.  This film is an ISO 80 high resolution orthochromatic film.  Orthochromatic films reminiscent of old black and white photos before panchromatic film was available.  They are naturally blue sensitive, so anything red or orange... read more →
