Dry plate tintype
Over labor day weekend, I had a few photographers and alt-printers over for printfest 2013 – a chance for me to teach a little alt-photo, experiment a little, and for…

Boy’s Room
Also taken this spring: gold-toned kallitype on arches HP 140#. Shot with a Mamiya 7, HP5+, developed in Xtol. And this is gold toner #2 at the end of its…

Daddy’s Little Boy
St. Patty’s Day parade in Jim Thorpe. I’ve got a few more from this series that I’d like to post, while I get my next gum print running; some experimentation…

Vague Recollection
From a photo walk through Durham Township a few weeks ago, this shot of the interior of the Durham Mill was taken with a Widelux F-V: a 35mm panoramic camera.…

Nesting
Walked outside today while my wife and son were raking leaves, and found this seemingly-happy bird nesting in one pile… good thing it left before I started shredding them! In…

Puddle Jumper
Fall fun on the baseball diamond! Shot with an Olympus E-P3 and a Canon 135mm f/2.0L. Tried printing some casein/glass today – the casein’s old, many of my (digital, inkjet)…

Nate the Builder
Shot on Delta 3200 in a Mamiya 7, developed in Perceptol. Printed on Arches Aquarelle hot pressed 140# as a kallitype and toned with palladium. From his fifth birthday, our…

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2011
Made with a homemade matchbox pinhole camera, shot on Acros 100, and developed in DD-X. Almost all of my shots were terribly over-exposed, which I find rather unbelievable but undeniable.…

It’s That Simple
This one takes some explaining; it’s some of what’s been eating up my time for the past few weeks. This shot started life on HP5+ developed in Xtol. I digitally…

A Bit of Snow
Most of my shots recently seem to be of this fella, and I’ve grown a bit reluctant to keep posting him… but I just can’t resist this one. Had I…

Velociraptor Jake
Ilford HP5+, Microphen. This shot was rescued from a roll that I terribly over-developed (… apparently 18 minutes at 75 degrees is too long for EI 12500). Back story: Jake…

Study In Blue
I’m still getting used to having a computer that doesn’t crash randomly any more – the ability to dive in, find a shot, and post it feels totally alien. (Thanks…

Super Powers
One of the most wonderful parts of visiting family in Germany was watching Jake interact with all of them. Like this superhero battle, where (seemingly) Spider-Man is doing battle with…

Harvest Festival Hayfight
Finally catching up on a boatload of scanning, and I keep finding stuff I like. Like this one of Jake and me having a hayfight at the Harvest Festival a…

Where Did I Leave That Statue?
Proving that I’m still alive (or that some clever facsimile thereof is able to post to my photoblog): Acros 100 + Microphen. Which, should you try to Google for it,…

Hiding
Portra 800, I believe. (I’d have to go find the film to be sure, but it has the right look to me.) Take a look at the larger version; the…

Taken along the Hudson River, near Fort Lee. Delta 3200 (!), EI 1600 (I was apparently finishing off a roll already loaded).

He watched the Earth fly past.
From the old to the new! I’ve been slowly stepping through cameras of the 20th century – 1930s and 40s Voigtländers, 1950s Ricohs. Well, my two Ricoh Diacords failed while…

The Graduate
While I don’t really understand why we have to have a “graduation ceremony” for pre-K, I have to say that it was a helluva lot of fun to shoot.

She Got In and Wouldn’t Leave
Okay, okay! For those clamoring for color – here ya go. Velvia 100F. And for the record, I’m planning to buy more slide film for next month. I just can’t…
