Retrospective
From 2009-2012, or thereabouts, I carried a Rolleiflex TLR camera with me wherever I went. Almost invariably it was loaded with black-and-white film, which I developed in my bathroom at home. In March 2024, I began the process of re-examining the archive of my negatives with the goal of producing a photobook that seeks to make thematic sense of my relationship to photography over the last 15 years. (The four photographs shown above were taken in London, Toronto, and Victoria in late 2009.)
THe Beginner’s Guide to Film Photography
In 2010/2011, I ran a film-photography blog called The Photon Fantastic (now defunct). During this time, I wrote several among the following series of articles as part of a larger, collaborative project called The Beginner's Guide to Film Photography, which unfortunately was never finished. I am collecting them here as the first step in my own return to the project. I intend to complete the writing by mid-2025 and publish the guide as a book by the end of that year.
Developing Black-and-White Film at Home: Introduction, Preparation, and Process
film camera reviews
One of my principal goals for this website is to publish detailed reviews of all of the cameras I own and use. A new year’s resolution for 2024 is to write at least one review per month, beginning with the remaining Nikon and Leica cameras. If I stick to this plan (and do not add to my collection) I should be able to complete my reflections on both of these brands by the end of the year.
