Late Much Lamented Fuji 3000
Monday, December 31st, 2018
On the day that Fuji announced they were discontinuing their wonderful 3000 speed black and white instant film I went on line and ordered as many packs of it as I could find. I loved the Polaroid 3000 film and then when it was discontinued, there was Fuji 3000. Now peel-apart instant film is a […]
Instant Liv

Here are a few quick edits of some photos I did with Liv Sage using some of my stash of Fuji 3000 speed instant peel-apart film. They were shot with my old Speed Graphic camera. These days people seem to think the flaws in this material are interesting, so I decided to leave them in for […]
Ayn In An Instant
Monday, October 16th, 2017
I did a shoot last week to work more seriously with my new “Frankencamera” that shoots Fuji Mini film, but has a proper, sharp lens that can be focused manually and that give me total manual control of the exposure. Another thing I wanted to explore more is the new black and white […]
Some Instants Before
Tuesday, April 5th, 2016
Before Areia and I went to Matthiessen State Park to shoot we took a bit of time and did some instant photos using my Speed Graphic and some of the last of Fuji’s 3000 speed black and white film. I’m going to really miss that film. It has a tonal quality that is unique. These […]

I’ve long enjoyed the 3000 speed instant film…both the Polaroid stuff and the Fuji copy. I was working on a project using that film when Fuji announced it was discontinuing it. That was a sad day. I have a stash of it and I’m continuing to work with it until it is gone forever. The […]

Almost a year ago a new model came to the studio to do a shoot. It was a pleasure to meet and work with Lizzie AnneMarie. I’ve been working on a project using instant cameras for a while now and I decided to do some instant photos of Lizzie. These first two are obviously shot with […]
Another Show
Wednesday, November 20th, 2013
It’s been a good year for gallery shows. I just got word that the photo above of the incredible Kat was chosen for the “Faces” show at the Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont. The juror was Elizabeth Avedon. The show opens December 12. There will be an artist’s reception on the date that the […]
Instant Julie and a PhotoShop Rant
Friday, September 9th, 2011
Like pretty much everyone else who has been doing photography for any amount of time, I’ve worked from time to time with Polaroid instant materials. “Back in the day” I used Polaroids to check lighting and exposure when working with strobe lighting in the studio. The digital equipment we use these days has completely eliminated […]
