I have to admit, I didn’t shoot a lot film in November, but when I did, I stayed true to the film that continues to strike me as the most beautiful and perfect film ever created by the wonderful people at Fujifilm... Neopan ACROS 100, and yes, pushed to 400. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed ...

Emulsion – October 2017
Just as I mentioned in September’s issue, I love this time of year in Vegas. The weather couldn’t be better. Nice and cool, but not cold. Perfect for going out on photo walks.

Embracing the Grain
Since I started shooting film last year I've enjoyed the grain from classic film such as Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP5+. However, over the past few months I've been pretty obsessed by the beauty of Fujifilm Neopan 100 Acros. Such a smooth, silky look to that film. Rich blacks and smooth highlights - ...
Vegas Noir & Am I Photographer Of the Time?
Vegas Noir - that term comes from a Facebook comment by one of my friends and wonderful photographer, Anthony Pond. Anthony was referring to the style of night shots I've been producing a lot. These shots usually show moody, high contrast scenes from the downtown Vegas area; often featuring the neon ...
