Crappy Instant Pictures
Sunday, October 2nd, 2016
A while back I was suckered into participating in an on-line funding thing for a new Lomo instant camera. When I got it I found it was, as I have come to expect with Lomo products, a piece of junk. But it does take instant photos using Fuji’s small instant film, producing prints that are […]
Winged Reveille
Friday, August 26th, 2016
As always seems to be the case, I’m wading my way through old shoots trying to catch up. I doubt if I’ll ever succeed, but I do seem to be gaining a bit of ground. Today I’m posting photos from a shoot with the lovely model Reveille that we did back in December 2014. That’s […]
Fujiroids with Romahni
Saturday, June 18th, 2016
A few more photos shot with my Speed Graphic and the much-lamented, no-longer-available Fuji 3000 speed instant black and white film. The model is, of course, the lovely Romahni Rose during her visit from her home in Australia.
“Fujiroids” in the Cabin
Monday, June 13th, 2016
When Fuji announced that they were discontinuing their “peel apart” 3000 speed instant film I was very sad. I love that film and enjoyed shooting with it using my Speed Graphic and the pack film back I have for it from the pre-digital days of using Polaroids to check lighting and exposure. I ordered a […]
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 […]
Instant Art
Saturday, November 15th, 2014
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 […]

One of the truths of photography is that whatever materials you use and love will be gone, usually within 20 years or so. Nothing lasts forever in this world. I’ve seen this happen many times over my 50 years in photography. None of the chemical photo papers that I used are made today. Tri-X […]

I work primarily with digital cameras these days. I have nothing against film. I worked with film for 30 years. But digital cameras are simply better tools for the work I do, in most cases. But that doesn’t mean I can’t work with film now and then when it provides something I can’t get with […]
