Is It Wrong to Love One Kind of Film So Much?
Anyone who knows my photography knows how much I can go on and on and on... about how much I love the look and feel of the photos I take using Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 speed black and white film, usually pushed to 400. When I started shooting film a couple years ago I started with Tri-X as my main ...
Signs of the Past – Las Vegas, Nevada – Zine
I’m fairly certain I was born about 50 years too late. Almost everything I really like - photography, music, styles/fashion, architecture, automobiles, records, film cameras, etc... generally tends to come from the 1950s, ‘60s.

Emulsion – November 2017
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 ...
